Braids and a side bun~ my look for the first day of the new year

Hello friends, Happy 2016!

In spite of a busy morning taking down Christmas decorations, I managed to fix my hair in the afternoon and head outside to take hair pictures between rain showers :-)  After all, I couldn't let the first day of the new year go by without fixing my hair in a fun style.  I hope your year is off to a wonderful start so far <3

Chain braids, great accents for a smooth bun

Hi friends,

Thank you for all the views and comments on my new length pictures, I was so excited to get to share them with you here on my blog.  Today I fixed my hair in a simple smooth bun with three chain braids as accents.  (Chain braids are what I like to call a 3-strand push-up braid.)

Accented Mohawk Hairstyle, plus pictures with Rapunzel and Eugene

Hi everybody,

     I saw on Facebook that this is the 5th anniversary of Tangled!  So I thought I would share pictures of a very special time that happened a few weeks ago~ I got to meet Rapunzel and Eugene :-)

     But first, pictures of my hairstyle today.  I fixed my hair in a favorite Mohawk updo and added small side braids as accents.  I love using small clips in my updos and braids rather than bobby pins.  They hold my hair much better, are not painful at all, and like a friend mentioned, they help get just the right amount of volume in the front, so my hair doesn't look all scraped back (my addition to the original comment).

     Thank you so much for following my posts!  I hope that you have a beautiful and joy-filled Thanksgiving Day <3

Flynn and Rapunzel noticed my hair and asked me about it.

Eugene wondered if Rapunzel's friends from the village could help braid her hair like this

Fancy blossom braid updo

Hello all,

     Thank you so much for coming to see my new hair pictures!  Today I experimented with a new hairstyle, and love how it turned out.  First I made the three small English braids on one side as accents.  Then with the rest of my hair I made a Dutch braid, which I turned into a blossom braid by tugging on the sides to make the sections of my braid "blossom" into a bigger, fuller braid.  I've found the secret to making a blossom braid is to put your hair into a low ponytail when you finish making your Dutch braid.  Maybe this can be an idea for a future hairstyle video :-)
     I hope you have a wonderful week!  This Thanksgiving week, I am thankful for you.
