French Rope Updo~ my look for today

Hi everyone,

     The sky was rather overcast this morning, but still a great day for taking hair pictures :-)  I washed my hair last night but first I used my new monoi oil from Tahiti instead of my coconut oil.  I'm so thankful to my sweet friend in Holland for suggesting I try monoi oil!  It is amazing and smells absolutely wonderful.  I also used an apple cider vinegar rinse~ a great way to clean your hair and make it extra-soft every few months or so.
     By the way, a friend asked where I get my small hair clips.  Usually I find them at Ross stores when I'm traveling in the US, and in Europe I found them in other stores as well.  I love using small clips as apposed to bobby pins, they seem to hold my hair much better and don't tug or hurt as the day goes on.
     Thank you for visiting my blog!  And remember to check out my new Facebook page when you get a chance.  Have a beautiful day and I hope to see you again soon <3

Zig-Zag French braid

Hello my friends,

In spite of the gray, overcast sky, today was a lovely day in the islands.  I fixed my hair in a zig-zag French braid with a side bun, and got to wear my new top with fringe across the hem~ so fun :-)
     I hope you have a lovely day and that your December is going along wonderfully so far.

Flowery Dutch Lace

Hello friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.  I was so happy to find that one of my flower headbands just matched the flowers on my dress.  What a fun addition to this updo, a combination of two Dutch lace braids and a braided side bun.  Thank you for checking out my new post!  Have a beautiful new week <3

Hair-weaving braid

Hi everybody,

I saw this tutorial video today on Facebook, and loved it so much I tried it out myself.  I had to adapt a little bit and braid over my shoulder.  Since the outer strands gradually get thinner as the braid goes on, I would tie off sections and restart my braid with a new set of four strands.  I love how this braid turned out, and will definitely want to do it again :-)

Here is the link to the video that Creative Ideas and Tutorials posted on Facebook.
