Blue Christmas Updo

Hello friends,

I got to use my new hairband today as an accent to a high braided bun.  I just love all my new hair clips and headbands~ they are such a fun way to dress up your hair!  Since it's Christmas time~ some hair pictures in front of my Christmas tree :-)

Fancy Lace Braid, Braided Bun Updo

Hello friends,

Thank you for all the views and comments~ I think we will soon reach 100,000 pageviews!  I so enjoy posting pictures and sharing hairstyles and braids with you all.  Today I tried a four-strand lace braid where one section was actually a small English accent braid.  I ended up doing the same accent braid idea on each side, but the left lace braid is a 3-strand and the right lace braid is 4-strand.  I'm probably the only one who notices~ no reason for doing it this way, except that my hands were tired of keeping the different strands separate from each other ;-)

Fancy Braided Bun

Hey everybody,

I tried to do a version of a pretty circle braid updo that I saw on the internet~ it turned out a little lop-sided, but it's hard to braid 360* around one's own head lol

Here are links to the two Lilith Moon videos you can combine to create this hairstyle~ Lilith posted this idea on her Facebook page with a few pictures of her own.  First video on circle lace braid updo~ and the next  video on a circle French braid.

(When I fixed my hair today, I did the center circle French braid first, then the outer lace braid.  I poked the ends of my braids up under the bun, so that's actually all my hair and not a sock.)

For lack of a better name (or the imagination to think one up!), I just called this my fancy braided bun.  If you have a better name for this hairstyle feel free to comment below.  As always, thanks for looking!

Wimsey :-)
