Favorite Hairstyle~ Swoop Braid w/ Layered Bun (plus pictures with Gaston!!)

Hi everybody,

A few days ago I got to meet a fellow longhair...this time a guy, Gaston :-)

I wore my hair in a favorite fast-and-easy hairstyle of mine, a swoop lace braid with a layered cinnamon bun...

And just in case you were wondering...yes, these hair pictures were taken in front of Rapunzel's tower!

I got to meet her a little while ago~ so much fun!  You can see pictures here :-)  As always, thanks for coming by to view my post!

Hello friends!

I love the pictures I have to share with you today~ this is such a simple look to create but it looks very elegant.  First I made a small French braid headband.  Then I put my hair into a high ponytail.  I braided my hair into four English braids, so combined with the extra braid from my French headband I actually had five English braids in my ponytail.  I fastened the ends with clear elastics, then folded my braids up into a good length for my braided ponytail hairstyle.  I took the ends and wrapped them around the base of my ponytail like a bun.  Then I clipped this "bun" in place with two matching hairclips, and headed out the door!

As usual, I had a hard time decided which photos to leave out so I ended up including a lot!  One of the benefits of having your own blog, I guess :-)

Length Pictures with Rapunzel!

Hey everybody!

Guess who I met today?! Rapunzel herself, from the cartoon "Tangled"~

I had my hair in a bun but took it down so we could take long hair pictures together!
