Imperial Bun

Hello everybody,

Thank you so much for following my blog!  I always enjoy getting to share these hair pictures with my friends.  Today my hair was still a little wet from when I washed it last night.  (I don't use a hair dryer on my long hair, just on my bangs. I usually wash my hair with the Condition-Wash-Condition method twice a week.  I'll wash it at night before I go to bed and let it air dry all night long.  I use Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner, and Johnson & Johnson's No More Tears detangling spray as needed when I'm combing my hair out with my big comb.)
     To make this hairstyle, I first made two small lace braids, then swooped my hair up like I was about to make a high ponytail.  But instead of using an elastic, I held my hair in place with a small octopus clip and twisted the length of my "ponytail" into a rope braid which I then wrapped into a high bun.  There is no sock involved, this bun is totally made up of my hair alone.  I like the way the little braids peek through here and there.  I held my bun in place with bobby pins and these three little hair clips.  Then I added my emerald headband as a finishing touch.  One of my favorite hairstyles so far!

Sunshine 'do

Hi friends,

As you probably have noticed, I live in year-round summer weather.  I love sunny summery days like today!  I opened a new package of small elastics and made a simple head-dress style headband, with a layered cinnamon bun.  To finish my summer look I wore my new yellow shirt :-)

Big Cinnamon Bun

Hi everybody,

I hope you are having a great 2014 so far!  Today I wanted to wear my new jewel hairband, so I combined it with a big cinnamon bun.  To hide the sides of my hairband a little bit, I made two small side braids.

The wind was really blowing today~ as you may be able to tell from my side bangs lol

As always, thank you so much for coming by my blog to view my pictures.  I hope you get lots of new ideas for ways to style really long hair!

 

 

Japanese Fan Bun

Hi everybody and Happy New Year!

I hope your 2014 is filled with many fun times and good memories.  This may be my last post in 2013~ a braided bun that ended up looking rather like a Japanese fan :-)  The jewel hairband across the top is held in place with bobby pins, and my bun is secured with more bobby pins and the small jeweled hairclip which looks like the handle of the fan.  Thank you so much for stopping by to view my pictures!
