Spiral Rope Braid

Hello everyone,

I watched Lilith Moon's amazing tutorial on this spiral twisted braid and tried it myself.  Well, either my hair is too long or I just don't have the coordination it takes to braid in a spiral pattern around my own head.  So I came up with a faux-version of this hairstyle that I actually really like!  Instead of starting the spiral braid in the center back of my head, I started in the upper left-hand corner and braided around the outer edge, leaving the hair in the middle out of my braid to be added in later.  When I had finally finished adding all my hair, I finished the rope braid and wrapped the length of the braid around my head, between the French-rope braided sections.  I held everything in place with bobby pins, and my hair is still up and in place tonight.

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!

Coronet Braid

Hello everybody,

My sister has really long blonde hair, and one of her favorite hairstyles is this beautiful coronet braid.  She just makes a simple English braid at the nape of her neck, wraps it around her head, and pins it in place with bobby pins.  Here are some pictures we took today:
