Micronesian Head Lei Braid

Hello friends,

This morning, I made a circle part at the crown of my head and put that hair into a ponytail.  Then I French-braided the loose hair and the hair from my ponytail, making a circle French braid.  I put my braid ends into a high bun, and held my hair up with two hair clips and bobby pins.  This afternoon a friend gave me a beautiful head lei made with fresh Micronesian flowers, and it matched the style of my braided updo perfectly!

Fancy Bun~ Single-side version

Hello friends,

I tried another variation of a favorite hairstyle, a fancy bun.  This time I sectioned out the top corner of my hair and put the rest of my hair into a ponytail.  I made a circle French braid with hair from my ponytail and the hair I had sectioned out.  When I ran out of hair to add to my ponytail, I continued braiding and wrapped the braid around the base of my ponytail underneath the circle.  Hopefully pictures will help explain!  Thank you so much for following my blog!

Leaning Tower of Pisa Hairstyle

Hello friends, 

I hope you have a fun Saturday!  Today I my hair-do seemed to lean to one side~ I separated some of my hair out, then made a center ponytail with the rest of my hair.  The hair I left free of the ponytail I used to make a semi-circle French braid, kind of like Lilith Moon's hairstyle in this video.  Finally I braided my ponytail and wrapped it and the length of my semi-circle French braid into a braided bun.  You can tell why I call this my Leaning Tower of Pisa look :-)
