Hi
Almandine! Welcome to this thread and to LHC!
I think you got the Celtic Knot right - I can see the loops. To refine it you could maybe work on the orientation of the knot. What I mean is, if you twisted that whole bun clockwise you might find it looks even better! But great work on your first challenge!
Your hair colour is very pretty.
My eyes are boggling at all the new styles that have been going on.
What fun!
Sidani, what a shame the double rose buns didn't quite work. With your hair they would have looked brilliant! Your rose bun is lovely.
Today I attempted
Mina's Braid, given to me by
Shorty89.
This was going to be a practice run - saving the ribbons for later. But I don't think I'll have the patience to do it again another day. Plus, it's a pain to take those braids out, and I've combed enough hair out of my scalp already this week!
So this is all there is. I'm sorry there are no ribbons. (I didn't
really have anything suitable anyway.)
Things to fix, if I ever
(ever) do it again: the side braids were too big, and the bun braids too small, the loops of the 'bow' are too droopy, and mmmmm ... scalp cleavage.
Here are a couple of styles for those above me:
Sidani - a
Japanese bun
Almandine - a f
our strand box braid (Short-cut instructions to remember: right strand under two/back over one, left strand under two/back over one. Sing out if that's too much, I don't know how comfortable you are with braiding, sorry.
)
