Accented French Braid

Hi everybody,

     I loved the double-braid/push-up accent combination so much that I decided to try another version, this time using a push-up braid and a lace braid to accent my French braid.  Adding small accents to a French braid are a quick and easy way to make an extra-special hairstyle.

Fountain Bun

Hi everyone,

I tried something a little bit different, trying to copy a look I had seen on Facebook by Cute & Glossy Braids.  (She does such amazing hairstyles on her beautiful daughters!)

First I made the small lace braid, then I put my hair in a bun, but kept out a small section of hair to use as an accent.  I wrapped it around my bun, right behind my headband braid, then arranged the end of my smooth accent section by pinning it in different places with bobby pins.  The result reminded me of a fountain :-)

Mermaid-style accent braid

Hi friends,

I hope you have a wonderful week-end!  Today I made a very small braid lace braid, but added hair every few strands instead of every time~ what I saw on Pinterest is called "mermaid" braid.  I put my hair in a side bun, and pinned the end of my braid in place like a bow.  A fun little "extra" :-)
     (You can probably tell that I love my new shirt!)
