Hair game - Just for fun - hairstyle the person above you

[joyfulmom4]

That's beautiful! It looks kind of like a figure 8 bun to me from the angle it's taken at. Wow your hair is pretty.

Yeah, I thought it was kinda like a figure 8 too. Funny, I could never get figure 8's to work out right either. Maybe I need to try to make an orchid bun??? lol! Thanks for the compliment.

<snip>Right, who's next? Gumball.
Split your hair into two as if making a pair of ponytails, put a band in one to make it into a loose ponytail, roughly behind the ear. The other side braid, again starting from behind the ear and put a band in it about three quarters of the way down.
Hope that makes sense?</snip>

I'm not sure if I'm getting it quite right. Are you meaning pigtails that look entirely different from one another?

joyfulmom4 and TheStorm loved your beautiful pictures.
Gumball ,you are so quick and perfect with your challanges that I'm envying you.Can you do braided chinese bun with fish tail braids for me? (P.S.) I hope its a challange)

Those braids have confounded me for an eon. We'll see if I can get around to it.

pigtails that look entirely different from one another? Yep, one braided one not. If thats ok for you anyway.

I'll give my challenge-taker two options.

1. If you have the head band thingee, the Eowyn updo:

2. If your hair is long enough (at bsl, mine isn't) the Psyche knot (with or without hair adornment):

I too am up for a challenge. I have bsl hair, or close to it. Not all the hairs are quite there yet. Um, I can do a (okay) french braid, but it takes a while, my arms fall asleep. (anyone know a way around that?)

Just showered so my hair is all damp, but once it finally dries I could give it a shot. It's within my abilities after all.

Joyfulmom4- Your hair is amazing! It looks absolutely gorgeous in both updos. I'm glad Aisha gave her challenge to you!

Here is the braided Chinese Bun for Vitalai, It's not a great pic I know, I took it late Friday night and the light wasn't very good. I wore it all day friday and it stayed in great.
I'm free for a new style too now.

It looks great! I'm glad it stayed in well.

Vitalai, how about a braided half-up?

I thought it was pretty cool that I have reddish-brown highlights in these pictures. My braid's kind of wonky and twisty. I will have to work on braiding more evenly.

I have the same problem when doing rope and herringbone braids. If my arms stay up too long, they start hurting. I just kind of hold what I have so far braided with one hand and rest my arms a bit. That doesn't help much, does it?

How about this style?

I'm up for a style!

Oh my! The highlights are incredible. Get me some sunglasses please!

For another do, can you french braid sideways across the front? Not sure I'm explaining that but what I mean is to part the front from the back, ear to ear, then french braid the front section across from one side to the other. I loved the way it looked when my hair was shorter, but I can't seem to manage this do anymore (too clumsy with longer length, though someone more adept could probably do it).

[Gumball]

Here's mine. Pigtails with only one side braided:



Ignore the off center picture frame in the background. It has since been straightened. Hehe. I don't think the herringbone suggestion will be too feasible for me right now. Sorry sahiba.

Vitalai your hair looks awesome as always! That style has some serious shine to it.

[Elphie]

Those are some awesome curls, gumball!

(Perhaps I can escape undetected and challenge free? Doubt it!)

Aww thanks! It was in a damp braid since I showered this morning and pretty much until right before I gave that style a shot. Since you kind of asked for a rain check (yes I'm taking it as that) then you can slide... For now!
