I can finally make a braided bun without hairs sticking out all over the place and with no elastics! My braid is long enough that I can tuck the ends completely under and just secure with hairpins. Woot, Woot!

I can do some lace accent braids with a bun, but one side always looks better than the other.

Congratulations! A braided bun is what I dream of every day. I'm sure it looks gorgeous!

I didn't know what lace braids are and

.
Good idea, I think many kinds of lace braids work with my APL too.

My english braid doesn't fall apart while singing! See signature video from Friday.
YAY!
And four weeks ago it fell apart and looked very messy!
MY HAIR GROWS!!!

I now have no layers and can do a braid without any annoying bits of hair sticking out. I dream of the day when I can have a long braid that goes all the way down to me knees! oh I have years but will be worth it .

I can get all my hair up now, if I twist and clip back my fringe with a mini barrette, do a peacock twist with a small octopus clip and use a few mini barrettes to hold the nape hairs! I have given myself a head cold because I like it so much and as it's not hat friendly, I have been walking around bare headed in the spring weather, but, heck, it's an updo! *le happy dance*

I just need to figure out a less damaging alternative to those metal mini barrettes like this http://www.perlescreatives.com/im/ar...clip_noire.jpg... Any ideas?

CONGRATULATIONS to the first updo!!! YAY!

I use only bobbypins. They don't damage my hair. The barrette clips always did... They ripped out a couple of hairs every time I took them out...
