Tie-dye swirls braid

Happy Friday!

I wasn't planning on taking hair pictures today, but I noticed when I finished braiding my hair that the swirls in my braid matched the tie-dye swirls on my shirt :-)  I kept my braid long for the pictures, but then I wrapped my hair up into a side bun.  It's still too hot to wear down for long!

Dutch braid outdoors

To compliment my earlier post, French braid indoors, today I have pictures to post of my Dutch braid outdoors :-)  What a sunny (and hot!) afternoon it was.  You may notice a slightly fuzzy look to my braid~ I had already been wearing my hair like this since this morning.
     Dutch braids are fun!  I didn't want mine to be full-length, so I wrapped it up in a new style.  Thank you for coming to see my pictures!

Swirl lace braids & a big bun

Hello friends,

Thank you so much for all the views and comments on my new hairstyle video!  How exciting to see that my Youtube channel has passed 900 subscribers.  Yesterday I tried to do a look I saw on Facebook, but ended up making a hairstyle of my own.  I'll have to study the technique I was aiming at a little more before I can do that particular look, but even so I like the way this hair'do turned out.
     I made an off-centered part, then braided a tiny lace braid on one side.  I gathered hair from the side closest to my face for a few times, then switched and added hair to the opposite side of my lace braid (this hair came from the side closest to my center part).  You can probably tell better from the pictures what I did.  Then I put my hair into a big low bun, and was satisfied (of course that is the most important and difficult step in any hairstyle! :-)

Hi everybody,

This afternoon I made a new hairstyle video, this time demonstrating how I do a pull-through braid on my own hair.  Here is the link to my video on Youtube, and (quite a few!) still pictures we took afterwards.
     Thank you so much for watching, sharing, commenting...and the list goes on :-)

Dry shampoo really works! (my hairstyle for today)

Hello everybody,

I got out my dry shampoo and used it last night, because I wanted to wait one more day before washing my hair.  I love the way it smells, very citrus-y and fresh.  (Here is the Amazon link for the kind of dry shampoo I have.)
     Today I fixed my hair in a center mohawk French braid (no parts, just random gathers of hair), with a rope braid on either side.  Always a fun hairstyle, and a personal favorite of mine :-)
