How are you wearing your hair today?

[Isa-belle]

Figure-8 bun today.

[Isilme]

up in a messy bun under saran wrap, heavily oiled. The henna treatment I made the other day came out a tad bit too dark, we'll see if I manage to pull some of it out.

[Jessikinz]

Braided bun held with one hair stick that I got from the dollar store. I'm surprised I didn't snap it, but it's holding really well.

[logica_divina]

Down down down...

[AJoifulNoise]

Cinnabun with Night Blooming's Wintersong stick. I want to jingle as a prance about, putting up my Christmas decorations. :D

[AnneAdeline]

Two Dutch braids. I henna'd yesterday, so those pesky roots are now gone. Put it in braids when it wasn't completely dry in the hopes that I can get it to be wavy today.

[Rita]

English braid.

[Vitalai]

Ponytail for now. I may try a herringbone or half-up later.

[Aries_jb]

I just tried a figure-8 bun. It's finally long enough to make one! Granted, it's not a great one, but now my twisting it does not eat up significant length! Yay!I'm washing it later today and after it dries, I'll probably just put it up in a bun. I'm saving wearing it down for going out instead of leaving it down at home, like I usually do.

[AnnaMarie]

Just a messy bun fixed in place with a chop stick, I'm hoping for some messy curls for tonight :)

[Mugili]

Lazy Wrap Bun with Flexi8

[Juanita]

Two braids but will put it up with my new hair toy .Can't think of it's name but it has a stick which you thread through the holes and your hair.

[Nevermore]

Earlier it was down for going out for Thanksgiving dinner, now it's up in two cinnabuns (one on top, one on the bottom) on the back of my head, it almost looks like a very swirly figure 8 and is held by a single stick. I'll be perfecting it for wearing it outside the house.

[Calanthe]

Today, it's the Celtic bun for me, held with my Quattro fork.

[Mugili]

French twist with a thing called Krebs in german. Totally boring, but it's not my hair day.

[Hypnotica]

A bunned french twist as I washed my hair last night. My french twist variation tends to be best on freshly washed hair.

[Nanni]

A lovely french braid. Best one I've ever done

[elrowiel]

Simple and boring bun.

[Isilya]

I redid my pincurl-bun thingie and took pics this time, but my cable to put them on my laptop isn't working :mad: I won't give up, that pic will be posted.

[AJoifulNoise]

Figure 8 with my Night Blooming werewolf sticks. :D

[joyfulmom4]

Braided bun w/ two braids. Secured w/ a ponytail elastic first before braiding, then the whole things skewered through w/ at least a dozen hairpins. Went shopping at 5am for "Black Friday". Had to have no-mess, very secure hair.

[bettybaker]

My hair's loose right now, but I'm about to wash it; I'm thinking of trying a French accent braid today once it's dry.

[Arctic]

Very loose douple braids, center part.

[Vitalai]

Half up with braid waves.

[.Amanaka.]

Ponytail.

(Don't think my post was long enough.)

[Johanna64]

Three braids in a high ponytail.

[Rita]

A figure 8 bun with one hairstick.

[AJoifulNoise]

In a barrette of sorts- I can't use normal barrettes because they fall out. But, somehow these work. They were my mother's.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/SycoTrekkie/2008/November292008Upload002.jpg

Pardon the poofiness... I had to comb out my braid waves because the ends were obviously not wavy.

[Siava]

Down and dirty. Today is an alone, lazy day. :)

[Isilya]

In a cinnamon bun.

[elrowiel]

Twisted up as almost always.

[bettybaker]

My hair is loose again, but I'm proud because I managed to stop myself from brushing it while it was wet. Now that it's dry I've finger-combed it a bit; because I didn't separate out the strands by brushing it, the strands have stayed together and the effect is that of heavier, thicker hair than normal. So, it's still loose--but it's hanging differently.

[Eden Iris]

Figure eight with two sticks. The clarifying wash I did last Sunday is keeping any style from staying in. Here I thought it was my updo skillz that were keeping my hair in place all this time, when really it was a buildup of gunk.

[renarok]

I found a little brass hairstick waaaay down in the crevices under the couch cushions. It was cool finding a toy I thought was long gone:)
It is much too short for me to use for a regular updo any more, so I have polished it up and am using it to hold up a half up mini lazy bun.
Yay, my hair is growing:cheese:

[Vitalai]

My sleep bun. I just got up. :D

[Ryanne]

A braided bun with hairstick, I'll braid it again when I'll go to sleep, which will be soon.

[RocketDog]

twisted up inside a little claw clippie - too busy to do anything else!

[AnneAdeline]

Two Dutch braids. I wanted to see if I'd gotten my roots enough when I henna'd last. Appears so. Yay!

[mrs carol]

a long sleep braid.

[Drynwhyl]

In heidi braids, I made them last night before going out, came home, slept, and still they are :P
My hair is too greasy, so if I undo them I will have to wash straight away...I'll do it later.

[Elphie]

Two side braids pulled back into a topsy tail.

[Isilya]

In a Chinese bun.

[birthmarkie]

Braidwaves from wearing double braids last night :inlove:

It's going up soon, in a bun or ponytail.

[Medievalhair]

Up in in double figure 8 buns going to braid it later.

[elrowiel]

First down, then half-up, then down again, then twisted up because I had to go to a surgeon and now half-up again.
Today I can't decide which I prefer. :rolleyes:

[AJoifulNoise]

Down and dripping at the moment. Hoping it will behave enough for length shots. Then I'm going to try those barrette things again.

[cassie_g]

A single braid down the back. To lazy to do my hair this morning.

[joyfulmom4]

Twin french braids secured into one bun at the back, decorated with little "hair swirls".

I'm sticking to the huge steel nail, at least I can't break that...can I? oO

[Jessikinz]

A figure 8 bun and it's slanted and doesn't look good. Held with a dollar store hair stick. I don't think it will hold throughout the day.

No time for things like... hair!

[HotRag]

In my sleeping bun secured with claw clips.

[LisaJaney]

High ponytail because it's a greasy-hair day for me. I wash it tonight and it'll be worn DOWN for the next two to three days. You can always tell (if you're paying attention) how greasy my hair is or isn't, depending on the TIGHTNESS of my updo! The greasier it gets, the slicker the hairdo!

[logica_divina]

It's been down for school and then in my ususal 'home do' - half up with claw clip with the rest of the hair braided (I love it cause it doesn't make my hair lay flat against my head as it does with the usual braid since my hair is so thick and heavy, but the lenght can still enjoy all the benefits from the braid) :)

[Vitalai]

The usual ponytail. The bangs are behaving very well today.

[SweetPea88]

Side lace braid but I took it out earlier since the part was driving my scalp nuts.

[Elphie]

I've got to set aside a weekend day to try that lace braid, thanks for reminding me!

I attempted Vitalai's style of braiding 3 braids, but I either did it too tightly or I just don't have enough length for it to work, so...

I wound up wearing the smallest rope braid known to man. It had about four bumps.

[elrowiel]

Cinnabun with Night Blooming werewolf sticks. I really, really like these. I get stuck wearing them day after day because they are my favorites. :D

I've worn them so much that the ends are starting to show signs of wear and tear.

[Shufro]

Half down.. I just washed it :)

[QueenMadge]

Hanging loose....probably until after lunch when I'll pull it up into a scrunchy bun or low ponytail. Boring but the way I seem to wear it most often at this "too short to do anything, but long enough to be a bother if left loose":eek:

[Patrycja]

I've gotta work today and I have to keep my hair up(policy,I'm a waitress)so I'm thinking a cinnabun with one of my new pretties I got from the secret santa exchange.

Wrapped bun with a eucalyptus fork, slightly off center because, uh, I meant to do it that way. Yeah.

[Curlsgirl]

Pony at the nape secured with a silver flexi-8 with a celtic cross

Braided bun held with a catstyle stick.

[elrowiel]

Twisted up.

[Isilya]

I've never heared of it! How do you do one?

It's an easier version of a regular herringbone. The technique is exactly the same, but you only use the same 5 strands to do it. Instead of sectioning off tiny strands each time, you cross the outer/upper strand over the 2 others to add them to the strands in your other hand.

More detailed:
- Make a ponytail and divide your hair into 5 equal strands. Hold 3 of them in your right hand (keep them separated) and 2 in you left hand (also still separated).
- Bring the outer/upper strand of the 3 in your right hand over the remaining 2 in the same hand, towards the middle, adding the strand to the ones in your left hand. Result: 3 strands in left hand (with the newly added strand closest to the middle), 2 in the right.
- Bring the outer/upper strand of the 3 strands in your left hand over the other 2, adding it to the strands in your right hand. Again, this strand should be closest to the middle.
- Repeat until you run out of hair or until the braid is the length you want it to be.
Note: keep the strands separated at all times.

Did that make sense? I can try to explain it better if it didn't.

Today: in a cinnamon bun.

Beautiful braid, Speckla! I love your curls. It gives it a really romantic look.

I wore a wet bun overnight, and it dried in very loose waves this morning. We were running today, so it was up in a ponytail again. My friend was telling me, "I love your hair. It's always in such perfect waves in your ponytail." :cloud9:

I'm wearing it boring and twisted back, the same as most everyday. I LIVE in my Brazilian clips, since my hair is still too short for a proper bun with its crazy thickness and blasted layering. I will be SO triumphant when I chop those suckers off in a couple of years!

I've got it up in my first bun ever! I did a CO in the shower and put some leave-in conditioner on the ends and wrapped up in a hair towel. Then I twisted it up into a cinnamon bun and loaded it up with about a dozen bobby pins, lol. (The u-shaped kind.)

I've never ever put my hair in a bun before and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. I never thought of doing a bun in wet hair but I love how it feels on my head. This will definitely be a frequent 'do for me in the summer.

Today is a soft untwisted cinnabun, held with an elastic in the manner of my shower bun, with some little clips holding it flat to my head. I love love love this style - finally, a way of wearing my hair messy-ish that keeps it out of the way and doesn't stick out from my head!

In a half up. My hair is hitting upper BSL today; I'm wearing a weird bra though. :)

[Amara]

Up and out of my sight. I hate my hair today!

[AnneAdeline]

Two Dutch braids, leftover from yesterday. Today is wash day, so it'll soon be down and drying, though.

[Calanthe]

Celtic bun with my Quattro fork. I tried the wonderful Gibson Twist this morning but after I nearly broke first my fingers and then the stick I gave up - try again tomorrow...:rolleyes:

[elrowiel]

Twisted up and hold by a black barrette.

[Isilya]

In a braided bun.

[Isa-belle]

Figure-8 held with a hairstick.

[Isilya]

In a fancy sort of updo. I made a ponytail, did 6 pin curls (but only held with 1 pin) and the hair that fell out was twisted in a loop and pinned.


This sounds pretty! You should take a pic!

Success! I managed to transfer the pics I took when I redid the style. OK, here it is:

This look can vary depending on how tight you make the pin curls (which remained pinned) and how many you do.

Oh, I really like the look of that updo! :)

Today I wore my hair halfway french braided and then put into a ponytail.

[joyfulmom4]

Right now it's down. I washed this morning. I may put it up later, but it's still drying.

[AJoifulNoise]

AJoifulNoise, I'm so jealous! I can't even manage a regular Chinese bun because of my layers, and I'm a loooooong way from being able to do a braided one (I don't even have enough length for a regular braided bun!). And that stick is awesome.


I heart your bun - you wear it beautifully. Your stick is brilliant!

Thank you both. :flower: I'm sure you'll get there soon, Periwinkle!


Today is back to the usual cinnabun. With a Night Blooming leaf stick:

[Aries_jb]

untwiste cinnabun held with claw clips. The usual.

[Eden Iris]

Cinnamon bun with Ficcarissimo.

[NebraskaChick84]

just a regular bun actually I haven't fixed it from sleeping in it.

[joyfulmom4]

Looks great!

I finally put mine up in a bun after having it down half the day. I used to wear it down almost all the time but am finding that the more I get used to having it up, the more I like wearing it up.

[AnneAdeline]

A braided bun, but with two braids instead of one.

[Calanthe]

The Gibson Twist/Wrap. This time it worked. I just have to remember not to make it too tight.

[elrowiel]

I made a ponytail and then bunned the hair, that's easier today, because my hair slips like mad. :(

[Isilya]

Oh, I really like the look of that updo! :)


Looks great!

Thanks!

My hair is down right now, but I'll put it in a 5 strand herringbone once it's dry.

[Kaeri]

Infinity bun with my new X large flexi 8 that will hold it :) No more getting told off by my boyfriend for nearly poking his eye out with a stick on this hairstyle.... for now :P

[Hypnotica]

In a sloppy gibraltar. I'm having a cold and feeling very unpretty today.

[Arctic]

My hair is down right now, but I'll put it in a 5 strand herringbone once it's dry.


I tried the 5 strand herringbone, it worked great! Thanks for the instructions! It wasn't difficult once I got the movement "flowing" :D

[logica_divina]

Trusty cinnabun...

I can't wait for my hair to be long enough (hip?) to get rid of these layers. They look fairly nice when my hair is down, but make a total mess out of any updo (including braids) - except cinnamon bun.

[shwankie]

In a simple "bun," type thing with sticks and some curl around the front:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3134/3094927965_33488ea98b.jpg?v=0

I have a business meeting in a few minutes, and didn't have time to shower, let it dry, etc. So, up it went. I just wish my hair didn't slip out of everything so fast. And my poor little bun looks so anorexic compared to the thick haired, lovely buns here. One reason I don't wear it up like this often is in makes my hair look even thinner than it is. Braids don't seem to do that, but braids aren't terribly appropriate for what I need to do today :-(

[AJoifulNoise]

French braid today. I have a check-up today so I figured a bun would be a bad idea (since I'll prolly have to lay back at some point). I was going to do pigtail braids, but that just wasn't working. So, french braid it is.

[NebraskaChick84]

regular bun again. I need hair sticks.

Jami

[Eden Iris]

Down and drying. Gibraltar bun with aquapearl sticks (how did I live without these?) in a bit.

[Arctic]

I think your bun looks fantastic! And you have a beautiful colour too! :flower:

[Arctic]

I washed today and hair went up after that into a damp twist with "faccare" type clip.

[NebraskaChick84]

I just brushed it out, measured it and threw it back up in a bun.

[Clytemnestra]

Lightly oiled and in a low ballerina bun - I recently cut some shortish, side-swept betty bangs and I'm really happy with the look.:)

[AnneAdeline]

In a rope braid bun. It contains my layers better than a regular braided bun, I think.

[Calanthe]

Today, it's the orchid bun held with a Baerreis fork.

[Isilya]

I tried the 5 strand herringbone, it worked great! Thanks for the instructions! It wasn't difficult once I got the movement "flowing" :D

You're welcome! I'm glad my instructions made sense :)

Today it's in a double-looped knot.

[lilalong]

loose - staying home today

[MandaMom2Three]

High ponytail, curled with sideswept bangs

[happymommy]

In a "Killer" bun.

[Arctic]

Cinnabun with 2 short black sticks

[AJoifulNoise]

Up in a messy cinnabun with 10 little clippies then covered by a blue bandana. I don't feel like washing it today, but I don't feel safe wearing it down yet.

[shwankie]

A Dutch braid on each side of my head, into a single ponytail at the back. I'll likely bun it in a bit, just didn't have time this morning.

[viking_quest]

If I have the time then I'll crown braid it, if not then I'll just braid the nape of my head.

[NebraskaChick84]

half french braid half bun. see "french braid failure" for pic ;)

[jojo]

I had a half up do today as I had a study day, at the moment its soaking in superdrugs coconut and almond oil deep conditioner with a coop plastic bag over the top with a clothes peg to secure....sexy eh!

[Eden Iris]

French twist with Ficcarissimo.

[Haith]

French-braided pigtails coiled into a bun at my nape.

[Kerynna]

French-braided pigtails coiled into a bun at my nape.
This is the kind of hairstyle description that absolutely floors me (as someone who is barely almost at BSL). I can hardly imagine french braiding my hair, much less putting it into pigtails or putting it into a coiled bun. And you have done all 3 in the same hairstyle! :bowtome:

You're my hair heroine. (Would that be "hairoine"? lol)

[AutumnSky]

Down today, with overnight braid waves, temples pulled back loosely.
It's very Waterhouse-y.

[Isa-belle]

Down today, with overnight braid waves, temples pulled back loosely.
It's very Waterhouse-y.Oooh... Sounds perfect :p

[sneakybea]

I am wearing a figure eight bun with a Graydog Applejack hairstick. It keeps going all diagonal on me (the bun, I mean) plus I think I've just located the least flattering mirror in the Western hemisphere, but oh well!

[AnneAdeline]

A Dutch braid. Didn't have much time this morning, so I started it farther back on my head than I would usually.

[Elphie]

Dutch pigtails. I love these, but they take a bit too much time on workdays to do, so I don't wear them frequently.

[Robbi Dehlinger]

Had my hair down today, until I had to put in under my wig for work:(

[Calanthe]

It's after-wash-day so it's the old cinnabun again. This time held with a flexi-8.

[Debra83]

for most of the day it was like my sig pic, but now it's in a weird "starwars looking do" ponytail on the top of my head. (I'm not going out don't worry.)

[Isilya]

In a braided Chinese bun.

[Janka]

Rope-braided ponytail, if that makes sense ;)

--> Ponytail at the back of head, somewhere in the middle, rope braid, fasten.

I even got a compliment on it today from my female co-worker (we are two girls among ~ 20 computer guys :D)
ETA: I mean, I never expect any compliments from the guys ;)

[Isa-belle]

Braided Chinese bun. I got several compliments from people in the street/metro (!)

[Angelina15]

Twisted up and secured with a claw clip... at least I think thats what its called. :D

[AJoifulNoise]

Had to fight with my hair this morning. Blah. It's up in a figure 8 with two of my Night Blooming Hogwarts sticks: Slytherin and Gryffindor. Seemed fitting.

[joyfulmom4]

Half-up with the front kinda twisted off to one side and held with a small barrette. (Finally found a use for those too-small barrettes!)

[Arctic]

Damp twist with clip that lookeslike spaghetti scoop :D

[Eden Iris]

Flipped bun with a three-prong fork.

[Siava]

Up in my first ever flexi-8. :D

[kayanl]

Bird's nest bun with a hairstick.

[Elphie]

Down for a change and I needed to take a December hair photo. Still procrastinating the photo part.

[Jessikinz]

In my first ever herringbone braid. The top of the braid where it starts looks pretty messed though, but I guess it managed. This morning it was just in a figure 8 with a plastic hair stick. Than I decided to switch it up when I got home for lunch. I got lots of compliments on it, I even had to show my teacher how to do it haha.

[AnneAdeline]

Two Dutch braids. I've started wearing my hair in braids more recently. I don't have to redo them as much as with buns.

[lemonlife]

Down with a sparkly pink alice band keeping my bangs out of my eyes.

[jojo]

my trusted braided bun, gee im boring reading some of the other creations on here!

[Shorty89]

I did a figure eight bun held with four hair pins that I received from Jessie58.

[C_Bookworm]

Curly and messy. DH loves it

[CestMadeleine]

Braided pigtails as always :)

[Calanthe]

Again, something didn't work (a folded bun, this time), so it's a kind of Celtic bun held with a Ficcare.

[Isilya]

A side braid, made with 2 small strands and 1 big one (as seen in a YouTube-video). It gives a nice, curvy effect to a braid.

[Arctic]

3 strand braid

[cassie_g]

In a cinnabun with a little bit of pouf/pomp in the front using the 'bangs/fringe' section of hair.

[Kerynna]

Right now it is freshly washed, still damp, down and finger combed. Yesterday I did my first ever herringbone braid and, though it was a bit messy toward the end, I was very happy with it. I redid it again later and it looked even better, though still far from perfect.

I wish I could get my husband to braid my hair for me. We have girls and he is the one who gets them ready in the morning, so I think he ought to learn to braid for their sake, and I'd be a great training model, lol.
