Perimeter/Cage Braid~ easily one of my favorites!

I first learned how to do this look from a video on Youtube~ a Mexican guy did it on a mannequin, actually :-)

Here are some pictures~ they were taken this past August in Hawaii:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aha!! After a lot of searching I found the video link!  Here it is:

 



 

 

I hope you enjoy this look! Thank you for stopping by to view my pictures.

 

 

 

Pinterest Board~ Braids & Hairstyles

Hi everybody!

The week-end is almost here~ I hope you have a good one.

After work I spent some time on Pinterest~ there are sooo many hair pictures and hairstyle ideas! In case you would like to follow me on Pinterest, here is the link to my Braids & Hairstyles board:

You'll see I have some pictures of styles posted there that I haven't yet posted on my blog. I'm working on it, though :-) Thank goodness for Photobucket where I can store hair pictures and get them easily whenever I want!

Hmmm...maybe I have time to post something new before going to bed, after all :-)

Sock Bun~ my sister's Christmas Day hairstyle

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I can't believe I forgot to post these pictures before now!  My sister did this beautiful updo on Christmas Day~ the flowers in her hair matched the trim on her dress:

Triple French braids~ my look for today

Hi everybody!

I hope your year has gone great so far! Mine has been really nice. There's something so invigorating about a new year~ like a fresh start!

I had thought about doing the criss-crossed Dutch braid look today, but I didn't really have the time or the patience.  So I ended up doing triple French braids instead.  I braided the three braids together at the bottom and made that braid into a low bun. Here are some pictures~ my sister took these for me:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really do like French braids...such an easy way to make your hairstyle look dressy :-)

 

I have pictures of my sister's hairstyle for Christmas Day that I forgot to upload earlier! So be sure to check out my next post when I get it uploaded. She did a beautiful sock bun with flower accents to match her dress...

 

 

Anyway, thanks for looking! I'm almost at 3,000 page views~ so exciting!  I appreciate you all so much! 

Criss-Crossed Dutch Braids~ my first post in 2013!

Happy New Year, everybody!!

I hope your 2013 is off to an amazing start!

 

 

 

A friend commented on my circle French braid thread, and in my reply I mentioned that most times Dutch braids turn out a little smoother for me than French braids. I love both, though~ it's such a quick, easy way to dress up your hair! Here are a few pictures of one of my favorite things to do with Dutch braids:

 

 

 

 

 

Seeing these pictures makes me want to braid my hair like this again~ maybe I'll try it tomorrow. If I do I'll be sure to post pictures :-)

 

Good night, all, and a very Happy New Year!
