[Vitalai]

Your hair looks so shiny and beautiful in that English braid! How about a herringbone?

[fleurdelis]

Vitalai, try to braid your hair and pin it up, so that it folds in half
or..you can try to do three normal braids, and braid then into one big one, I love doing that

[Teazel]

The person above me should let their hair flow loose tomorrow

Assuming this was meant for me, I didn't put my hair up today, and here's the proof:



This challenge was the last thing I expected, and I think a 7-strand dutch braid would almost have been easier! I'm not used to having it loose at this length. Still, it was interesting - thanks, nastasska!

fleurdelis, I'd like to see you with a Gibson Tuck tomorrow, please.

I'll give it a try again but have always been a failure with it.

The person above me should wear a figure 8 bun, on thursday.

Okay Medievalhair, you got your wish Took me a little while to get the loops even. Oh, and I don't know if you were being picky about figure 8 vs infinity since they're the same thing, just going different directions...Considering that my hair is nearly waist length, it sure doesn't amount to much when it's all rolled up
.

[florenonite]

How about a half up with your fav. barrett florenonite ?

Is it sad that I don't even own any barrettes? I was going to do a half-up infinity or something instead, by my hair's a wee bit too greasy for it. I'll do it after I next wash, then.

What about a rope-braided bun?

[zift]

Sorry guys for interfering this but oh wow Teazel what gorgeous hair you got there!

( throwing a compliment and running in the corner to hide, hoping someone won't throw a style request back at me )

Whee! This was fun! Little bits and pieces of my layers were escaping, but I'm happy with it overall.



Okeydokes, florenonite, how about something along the lines of Stardust by Isilya?

Also, Teazel, your hair is just stunning.

AprilElf do you think you could try some sort of crown braid? Before next week?

Oh gawd ...
I waited till today to do this, since I have the day off work, and don't need to leave the house.

This is my fourth attempt at some sort of crown braid (only the third to make it to the 'pinned' stage). I still find them very difficult.
I thought I'd make this one a little easier for myself by halving the thickness of hair I had to work with and doing two braids. I divided my hair into 'top half' and 'bottom half'. The top half ended up thicker. Both braids start on the left and work around anti-clockwise.



My head feels funny - I'm not used to wearing it like this.


Vitalai - could you try a Poledra Bun? (I hope it works with your length ...) It's by icydove, and instructions are in her album here.
