I was trying to do a french twist, using Cinnamon hair's instructions (http://classiclength.home.mchsi.com/french_twist_instructions/index.html)

It didn't turn out right. It turned out more like this:

And I thought, hey, that looks like a sideways bow! So I rolled it the opposite way, and voila! I thought it neat.

That is an absolutely fantastic invention! Your hair is unbelievably shiny! Princess Leia, eat your heart out.

[WavyGal]

Your hair is gorgeous! I love it whether you think it is wrong or not! I love how shiny your hair is!

[WritingPrincess]

How did you do that? Would you be so kind as to post instructions?
I LOVE your bow.

[chloeishere]

That's gorgeous!

[cuddledumplin]

That is so cute!

[freznow]

Thanks everyone :D

WritingPrincess, the instructions closely resemble Cinnamon Hair's french twist: http://classiclength.home.mchsi.com/french_twist_instructions/index.html

You start with the hair in a pony tail in the left hand, and fold the length with your right hand in a 6-8" long fold. Once it reaches your head, instead of twisting it like you would a french twist, you hold it horizontal and twist it from the bottom up. (or from top to bottom, which gives a slightly different effect). Then secure (I used a ficcare beak)

[Silver & Gold]

Very clever! You should have a viewer warning on those pictures though, that shiny hair of yours nearly blinded me! :cool:

[Delilah]

The bow is very cute! Im already planning how I'd do two pigtail-style and slightly messy next time I wash.
You have beautiful hair, and I can't help but thing a nice faux flower pinned in between the roll and the crown would look fantastic.

[Chamomile betty]

Yes, very pretty!

[Ohio Sky]

Aww how cute! Your hair is beautiful, btw!

[Xandergrammy]

I love it! I think it's adorable!

[Wavelength]

It looks great! How stable is it?

[Robinlyn]

That looks so beautiful! Love your shine, wow!!

[freznow]

It looks great! How stable is it?

It's just as stable as the verticle version. But it takes a few tries to make the ficcare hold the right hairs, and if I planned on wearing it most of the day I'd definitely pin the side that the ficcare's not entered in, for balance.

[Neon Gloss]

This is really cute! Your hair is so shiny, I love it. =D

[PatGear]

Oh, that's so cute, freznow. :grin:

And your hair looks awesome. I had to double-check to see if you're still doing SO/NW. Wow, that's great result!

[ReadingRenee]

That is so cute! :) I cant wait til my hair is long enough to try that.

[Village Mama]

Pretty hair! I love the style you can flip either way! It looks nice both ways!

[WritingPrincess]

Thanks! I'm a little confused, but I'll try this out when my hair comes out of it's 20 mini braids.

[Patrycja]

[mellie]

Wow, amazing!

I loved the result :) needless to say!

[squiggyflop]

super cute. i cant wait until my hair is long enough to do this!

[Cinnamon Hair]

Haha!! I love the bow. It looks a little like a rawhide dog bone to me. Very cute & different.

[Poolsoflaughter]

That's adorable, like an anime style! Who needs ribbon when you can make your hair into a bow?!

[spidermom]

I seem to remember that someone posted a fashion runway style like this awhile back. Isn't it fun to start out doing one thing and end up with something else that you like?

[SearMeCarefully]

That's so neat looking! Looks very oriental, I'm going to try that one sometime! And nice shine btw

[Gumball]

That's beautiful! That's ingenuity! Kudos.

[addikted]

I like your bow !

[florenonite]

I love it, and you've got amazing shine! It makes me want to go NW, but going from every-other-day S&Cing to that would make me look awful for ages.

[Amnell]
