Hearts-in-Blossom Braid

Hello friends,

     I am so excited to share these pictures with you.  I love this beautiful blossom braid!  Several friends (and even my aunt) have sent me the same picture of a braided hairstyle that is very popular on Facebook, so I knew I had to try this look for myself.  My version is a pull-through braid, but with each section of ponytail holders I pulled on the edges to give my braid the blossom effect.  And since this braid looks like a row of hearts, "Hearts-in-Blossom" seemed like the perfect name :-)

7-in-1 Braid

Hi everyone,

     I hope you are off to a great new week!  I'm so happy to say it rained yesterday and again today~ our islands have been so dry lately with no rain for weeks.  How wonderful to have drenching rain for hours on end.  I took hair pictures yesterday around noon when the sun was high, thinking I would take more in the afternoon sun but the weather had other plans :-)  It's all good.

     The last time I posted a hairstyle with multiple braids, 5 French Braids, several friends asked that I try braiding all the braids together.  On Sunday I made an updo using 5 English braids.  I slept in them that night, and the next morning I added two more braids so all my hair was braided with no loose hair.  Then I braided these 7 braids into a single French braid, a true 7-in-1 look.  My braid was a little fuzzy since 5 of my braids were a day old, but that added to the chic effect.

 

Dutch Braid

Hello friends,

A few days ago I braided my hair in a Dutch braid and left the end long, which is unusual for me.  I like Dutch braids, they are simple and fun.
     Thank you for following my blog!  I hope you are having a wonderful week.  Christmas is just a few days away <3

   

  

Hair-weaving braid

Hi everybody,

I saw this tutorial video today on Facebook, and loved it so much I tried it out myself.  I had to adapt a little bit and braid over my shoulder.  Since the outer strands gradually get thinner as the braid goes on, I would tie off sections and restart my braid with a new set of four strands.  I love how this braid turned out, and will definitely want to do it again :-)

Here is the link to the video that Creative Ideas and Tutorials posted on Facebook.

 

Autumn Braid

Hello everybody,

In spite of the rainy morning, I was able to take some pictures underneath a beautiful autumn tree.  Now to decide which picture to enter in Haartraum and Haselnussblond's "Autumn Rapunzel" contest on Instagram :-) In case you are wondering, this is a four-strand French braid.
