Simple French Braid~ my look for today

Hello everybody,

     I hope you had a lovely week-end.  Thank you for all the views and comments on my last post, Rey's Triple Bun-Knot Hairstyle.  I am looking forward to making a demo video for YouTube soon on that hairstyle.
     For today I chose to go simple and made a sideways French braid and bun.  Thank you for coming to see!  If you're not yet following my Facebook page, be sure to click "like" and see all my posts there.  Thank you, my friends <3

 

  

4-Strand Braided Updo

Hello everyone,

We are having some stormy weather in the islands, but thankfully this morning was beautiful and just right for taking hair pictures :-)  I fixed my hair in a sideways 4-strand braid, and kept the side bun loosely held in place with tiny hairclips.  A fun way to fix long hair when you want it up but still slightly visible from the front.

      

Make a 4-strand braid look like an 8-strand braid

Hello everybody,

Today I braided my hair in a sideways 4-strand braid, but it looked so neat and even that I hated to wrap the end of my braid up into a bun.  I wanted to do something a little different than my usual Elsa-technique of making my braid appear shorter.  So, I wrapped my braid around my head and clipped it to my French braid.  This actually makes my 4-strand braid appear to have 8-strands, and it was certainly much easier than trying to French braid that many strands :-)

French Braid combo~ and getting ready for Redhead Days!

Hello friends,

Yesterday I got a package in the mail from Holland, with my new beautiful blue t-shirt for the Redhead Days in Breda, just a month away!  I had seen this braid combination on Pinterest and liked it so much I decided to try it myself.  I made a lace rope braid on one side only, then braided the rest of my hair in an Elsa-style French braid.  It's funny how just that added rope braid dresses up this look so.  Thank you for coming to see my post!
     On another note, a friend suggested I try olive oil on my hair, so I did that last night before I washed my hair.  I put olive oil on my hair (not on the top nearest my scalp, but on the length and definitely at the ends.)  I left it for about 30 minutes or so, then washed my hair as usual (condition-wash-condition).  The results seem to be very good, my hair is shiny and soft.

 

4-strand braid, with a slightly different technique

Happy Monday :-)

Today I made a slanted 4-strand braid, but one of the strands was tiny while the other three strands were larger and all equal.  When I finished making my braid, I put my hair into a side bun.  Then I went back and tugged on the outer edge of my braid.  This gave it an interesting look, almost like a scalloped edge.
     Thank you, everyone!  I love sharing hair pictures here with all my friends around the world.
