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.

Fold-over French brainds

Hello everyone,

Today I made two slightly diagonal French braids, first one braid then the next.  They look like they have been folded over each other.  This is a fun way to avoid an obvious center part!  Wimsey wanted to get in on the picture taking, as you can see :-)

Triple French Braid Headband

Hello everyone,

This morning I had a fancy headband updo on my mind, so I ended up fixing my hair in three small French headband braids combined with a side bun.  I love small French braids!  And side buns!  So the two combined is definitely a favorite hair'do :-)
     The morning sun was so bright, I ended up taking pictures in the shade and also in the sunshine.  It's interesting to see the difference between the two.  I hope wherever in the world you are, you have a lovely day <3

Pink Lace Braids Updo

Hello friends,

     Today I parted my hair in the tear-drop form that I learned from my friend Raychel in her book about hair-braiding.  Raychel's book is amazing, by the way, I highly recommend it!
     Thankfully the storm seems to be passing by without causing much damage to our islands.  How fun to take hair pictures with pink flowers in the background to match my favorite pink t-shirt from my trip to England in September.
