How are you wearing your hair today?

[browneyedsusan]

Lazy wrap bun. I am practicing this one. They always seem to fall out for me.

They sometimes fall out on me, too. I have almost enough hair to braid it first, and that helps. (But then, I have to use a hairtie at the end, and defeat the purpose of bunning in the first place! :justy:
Dirty hair, or some sticky product help sometimes, too. If all else fails, revert to the disc bun. It holds even in my slippery hair!

[SkyChild]

My first ever cinnabun! Held with a cala lily hairstick and NO bobble!
So proud I've finally got just enough length for this

[jtl45]

bun at the moment. deep condition and shampoo later today!

[Johannah]

Nautilus bun with my new hair stick! :inlove:

[Neecola]

Lazy wrap bun.... which seems to look different every time I do it :shrug:

[ExpectoPatronum]

Katniss braid :) This will also be my go to style while I'm camping.

[LauraLongLocks]

Yesterday I wore another lazy wrap bun. Today I need to bun it again, and the LWB is fast and easy, but maybe I should broaden my horizons since we are on vacation. If it wasn't so windy here I would not bun it at all. I would wear it loose, but I can't allow it to get tangled even on vacation. hmmm... maybe another pha bun. Wow, really stepping out, right?

[Johannah]

Infinity bun today :)

[Skade]

Chinese bun.

[Sparklylady82]

I just did a lazy wrap bun (barely! :happydance:) with 23.5 inches of hair secured with my medium ficarre! Feels so comfortable! Can't wait till I gain a few more inches and then It will look neater :-)

[ExpectoPatronum]

My style changed a couple times today.

I started off with a nautilus bun held by one of my Ead sticks and had it like that while I ran some errands. Then I wanted to practice french braiding and took it down. I did a decent french braid on the first try so I left it like that for a while. After a couple hours, I oiled my hair and put it in a cinnabun until I showered.

[Johannah]

LWB with ead hair stick.

[lindseyann]

I just washed it and put it in two braids.

[browneyedsusan]

Saturday: rope braid. It shredded quite a bit--lots of layers.

Yesterday: French roll for church.

Today: don't know yet!

ETA: figured out today's: Dutch braid with scarf paranda.

Cinnamon bun with amybaba stick.

[Nightvale]

Messy topknot with a satin covered scrunchy, will oil and braid/bun tonight as a pre-wash treatment for tomorrows wash.

[Neecola]

Very pretty, BES!

I was going to wear my hair in a French braid but after 3 tries this morning, I gave up. It just wouldn't cooperate. So instead, I'm wearing it in a swingy ponytail. The tail is looking long to me!

[browneyedsusan]

Thanks, Neecola!
(FWIW: I had trouble with my hair a few days ago. It was slightly damp and grippier than normal. LWB-fail, disc bun-fail, French/dutch/English braid-fail.... rope braid - moderate success! I think I fooled with it 20 minutes, before it came around to my way of thinking! :justy: )

[spirals]

down; just washed

[LauraLongLocks]

3rd day hair (kinda feeling gross... tonight it will be washed... but the sebum is really helping to hold my braid nicely), I have my bangs in an accent braid and it is wrapped around a very simple cinnabun, but since there is an accent braid it looks a lot more fancy than it really is. I am thinking the bangs in an accent braid are the way to make peace with the grow-out of my bangs. I have been in a really miserable place with them lately, and have been considering some sort of a cut to help blend them. I was thinking a face-frame would do the trick, but then I will have shorter hairs popping out all down my length for a long time! Glad I didn't cut, and that the lovely Torrin Page gave me some much-needed help on Facebook.

[Neecola]

LauraLL, I like the idea of the bangs accent braid and though I don't have "bangs", I might do a braided side part as a wrap for a bun. Cute idea!


I am wearing triple cinnabuns today.

[LauraLongLocks]

Neecola, it is a nice way to give some variation, bangs or no bangs. How do you place your three cinnabuns? Are they all in a row up and down, or clustered together on the side, or what?

[Neecola]

They are clustered together, like a clover. I like it because the bottom two buns are slightly on the sides of the center top bun which means they are visible from the front.

I love side buns, but never thought about doing side triple buns! *adds to list*

[Timea]

twin 5 strand braids. Looking at Becs photos inspired me to try a 5 strand braid -- i remember when i was younger and had long hair I tried and couldn't get it but i can do it now.

[fiðrildi]

Single dutch braid, as usual :)

[LauraLongLocks]

They are clustered together, like a clover. I like it because the bottom two buns are slightly on the sides of the center top bun which means they are visible from the front.

I love side buns, but never thought about doing side triple buns! *adds to list*

That sounds very lovely. I washed my hair and put it up the exact same way again. It is still damp. After I do my evening animal chores, I will let it down to dry before going to bed.

[Nightvale]

Side parted loose braid pulled tail up/tucked and fastened with a hairstick.

[browneyedsusan]

Like a clover, eh? I've never thought of that one, but have sported the vertical (stoplight); and low, horizontal configuration once or twice.

-------

Low pony.
It's clean and slippy, and I don't have the patience today. It'd be like trying to braid/bun a bucket full of minnows.

[lapushka]

Day 3 hair, LWB with a Ravenslair (Artemis) fork. This has got to be my favorite fork, besides a Quattro Basic one!

[Neecola]

I snapped a photo of the triple bun last night for show and tell today :) This was taken after working 12 hours... it started the day much neater

[spirals]

It looks like a cloverleaf or a fleur de lis. Love it.

[Verdandi]

That's a pretty bun, Neecola! and I love your hair colour :)

I'm wearing my hair in a snood that belongs to my renaissance outfit, but nothing beats a snood when cooking, and that's what I intend to do for the rest of the evening.

Would love to see a picture of the snood!

[LauraLongLocks]

Another LWB. I guess I'm in a very lazy place in my life. I've been doing a LWB almost every day for what seems like weeks (months?) now.

[browneyedsusan]

@ LauraLongLocks: The LWB is my go-to, too! It's easy, holds pretty well, and looks nice with minimal effort.

Two low LWB's: held with bobbypins used like little hairsticks. Channeling my German ancestors today.

[Johannah]

Twisted LWB with ead stick. I love those sticks.

[Neecola]

Thanks spirals and verdandi (I'd love to see the snood too!)

I've just discovered the LWB a week or two ago and I love it! BES, your two low buns sound adorable!


Today I'm wearing my hair in a very loose ponytail which I flipped upwards and pinned so the elastic is hidden.

[LauraLongLocks]

Dutch braid made into a folded braid. I started my braid up really high on top of my head and was able to get my bangs into it. Really nice to have those bangs off my forehead.
Thankfully, it laid flat enough that it didn't give me the mohawk look on top. Pic is clickable.

[amino]

I'm just wearing it down, since I don't have to do anything today and it's short. (APL)

[Neecola]

That style looks great with a ficcare, LLL!

Today I'm wearing my hair like this:

http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s375/ng554321/e965eb6d-bf34-4dc1-9c15-ca6a802f4776_zpsb26d9b1d.jpg



How do you make the small picture clickable into the larger picture?

[amino]

Neecola, oooh, that's pretty!

For a clickable image:

[*URL="LINK TEXT HERE"][*IMG]IMG URL HERE[/IMG][/URL]

Stick your URL in where "LINK TEXT HERE" is... keep the quote marks! Stick IMG's URL where it says IMG URL HERE, make sure you don't delete any of the brackets. When you're done, delete the *s.

Alternately... insert a picture as you normally would (by clicking the button), then highlight the whole [*IMG] thingamajig, and click the URL button, then input your link's URL.

[browneyedsusan]

Disc bun, loops arranged diagonally, with antler stick.

[LauraLongLocks]

Thanks, I like a folded braid with a Ficcare. Seems to hold best that way. I can never get a flexi8 to hold a folded braid just right.

Today I mostly wore my hair down, but at times I put it up in a cinnabun, and for a while I had it in a LWB.

[browneyedsusan]

Combination braid:
Made a side part (typical for me), braided the front sections back and joined behind my head. Incorporated the tail into a dutch braid.

[lunalocks]

Today, up with a fork in my usual nautilus hybrid.

But yesterday, yesterday wore it down for the first time in about 6 months. I bunned most of it up in the morning in a bun that leaves no bun waves, and curled my thin ends (the last 6 to 8 inches) in 2 blue foam tubes. It was beautiful. And felt so long. It brought the length back up to BCL but it felt so long. I am going to do it occasionally when I want to wear my hair down for a special event. Wearing it down after drying or after bun drop isn't as notable due to thinning ends, but the curls mask them and make the ends look so much thicker.

[Madora]

A looped braid:

[LauraLongLocks]

Nice faux crown, Madora.

I'm wearing my hair in a Jamie Leigh. Since discovering that my bangs can be added to a french or dutch braid started up high, I've got a lot of motivation to braid now!

[Madora]

Thanks Remi and LauraLongLocks!

[lapushka]

Day 6 hair, up in a LWB with a Ravenslair (Artemis) fork. Tomorrow is wash day. Yay. :cheer:

[CircesButterfly]

Mine is currently up in two small clips one on each side to put the front part of my hair up. As for the rest of my hair, it's down. I don't wear my hair down that often but it is nice to see how long it's grown.

[Johannah]

Today's an infinity bun with my ead hair sticks. Love those sticks!

[browneyedsusan]

Down for church--it looked really nice this morning when I got out of bed!?
Up now in a LWB with 2 diy oak sticks.

[lapushka]

In its weekly half-up after washing. :)

[ExpectoPatronum]

I've been favoring a cinnabun lately. I've been feeling kind of blah with my hair :/

[LauraLongLocks]

My hair is still in yesterday's JamieLeigh. I didn't bother to take it down last night before sleeping. Just threw my sleep cap over the top and slept on it. Took my sleep cap off today and it's surprisingly not terrible. I am leaving it since I didn't go to church today. Morning sickness and total exhaustion. I feel like a lazy piece of ****.

[amino]

Was in a loose scrunchie bun, then I decided I ought to get better at my braids, so it's in a really lopsided crown braid (I was never able to do those). I also figured out how to actually do a crownbraid, since when I was 14 and actually had long hair, I could never do it. The secret is to keep my head upside down... the only problem is, I'm not sure how to make certain I get the proper hair placement.

[Johannah]

Nautilus bun, again.

[Neecola]

Ingrid, I hope this stressful time passes soon...

Amino, thank you for your help with the clickable picture but being the techno dunce that I am, I still couldn't get it to work. So I think I'll just link to my album.

Today, I am wearing a style from the Strictly Curls book (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12294&d=1407171245)I got from the library.

[LauraLongLocks]

Down while it dries from being washed. Once it is dry I'll put it up again.

[browneyedsusan]

Aww, LauraLongLocks, I hope your morning sickness passes soon. You're not lazy, just pregnant. Growing babies is hard on ya!


----------

Sloppy, loose French braid, with the front hanging loose. I'm wearing my "hippie" tunic today, so it works. ;)

[Ingrid]

Thanks, Neecola. I appreciate your thought :blossom:

I learned a new style today - the Gibraltar bun. It held up for the whole day, not a hair out of place, with a GTS two-prong fork.

[lapushka]

Day 2 hair, up in a LWB with a Ravenslair (Artemis) fork. About time I busted out some of my Quattro stuff again, I think!

[browneyedsusan]

WaitingSoLong's dualies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omAs53zZJlA&list=UUfv2SK2lct3twyx8XiKr1BA).

Random curly updo held with spin pins.


ETA: I like the dualies, will have to try that one. Thanks for the link BES!

[Johannah]

In a lazy wrap bun. It defines how I feel right now... Lazy...

[browneyedsusan]

Down for now.
Washed early this morning--I usually do it at night--then drove DS to have wisdom teeth removed. (He set the appointment so he could fast overnight and not miss any meals!) He's safely snuggled into the couch nest with icebags Saran wrapped around his face now. I'll have to keep my eye on him. He's loopier than a bowl of spaghettios.

I'm planning a dualy repeat for housework.

Thanks! --It's tender, 19 year old DS. His jaw is packed in ice, and he's sleeping it off.



Side sock bun today.

I can't make sock buns work. Too slippery, too straight, too something!

I slept with my hair in pincurls and took them down a few a hours ago. I got nice, full, relaxed curls :)

3rd day hair, nautilus bun with a Eaduard stick. Super shiny hair today. I wish I could find that balance between shiny and too greasy.

[browneyedsusan]

A VintageVanity's lazy day updo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWjp2Udcc6c&list=UUJnOck4zrUzFllmzvX7Rhzg).

I made my ponytail lower, pulled the ends through the loop and pinned them down. (It works better that way for me. The "fan" she talks about separates and flops.)
Didn't roll the bangs either, poufed instead.
Cowboy printed bandana from when DS was little. :)

[LauraLongLocks]

4th day hair, and I'm not sure if I'm going to wash it or not. If I wash, then I will do anything besides braiding. If I don't wash it, then I'll probably do a double dutch braided bun or some other braided style. The sebum always helps keep my braids shiny and neat.

[Johannah]

Simple cinnabun today.

[Neecola]

Like that vintage style BES, I've been watching this BBC show called Land Girls taking place during WWII -- lots of cute styles and bandanas involved


Today I'm wearing a LWB with a side part

[animetor7]

A gibson tuck with lots of sticky-outy bits because I just washed my hair yesterday evening. I'm hoping tomorrow it will be more cooperative and I can have another go at the artemis bun.

[Ingrid]

A low cinnamon bun held with a two-prong fork.

[Johannah]

A disc bun. I need more bun options...

[browneyedsusan]

French braided my bangs/shorter layers to one side for an accent braid. Made a high English braid out of the rest and twisted into a LWB. Wrapped the accent braid around the base.

[LauraLongLocks]

Vortex bun. Haven't done one of those in a while. 5th day hair today! Will wash this afternoon so I can wear it down for date night. I can't believe I made it to 5th day hair! It's not even that gross/greasy, really. I think once my bangs are fully grown out, I'll probably be able to spread washes this long or maybe longer, if my scalp doesn't get too itchy and pimply.

[Neecola]

Side lace braid into a ponytail that I twisted into a bun.

[animetor7]

Just my sleep fishtail braids wrapped around each other into a somewhat fluffy/messy bun. But that's a Summer trend right? ;)

[Ingrid]

Currently it's up in a top-knot, secured with a two-prong fork, worn for exercise. It's likely to change as I go about my day.

[ExpectoPatronum]

I've been favoring wearing it down lately. Since I found some products that make my wurls look nice, I like to show them off. I've actually been getting more hair compliments now than I have before. It feels really nice.

Congratulations! ;) Pencils are perfect hair toys in my opinion. Hold much better than the plastic Claire's sticks, for example. I eventually cut chop sticks in half, painted/oiled them and they're doing a fine job as well.


My hair's now in an English side braid.

Down and all over per the awkward stage

Another LWB with a stick...

[LauraLongLocks]

Let's see... today for my run it was in a braided cinnabun. After my shower I had it down to dry. Then I put it up in a french twist, but the weight of my hair pulling on my pins was hurting my head. I think I may have to let the french twist go for a while because the way I have been doing it is no longer comfortable. I'll have to find a new way. I can't seem to master the log roll, which is a good alternative to the french twist. So then it was down again for a while. Now it's up in a regular cinnabun.

I didn't know how I should call it otherwise :lol:. I just twist my hair (you know, like you would do a cinnabun) and then do a LWB. Instead of putting my stick between my fingers at the end (like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTt771qkO24)video at 0:40) I just pull the loop to the side.

I keep switching from a lazy wrap to a nautilus and back. Can't make up my mind today.

[Ingrid]

I'm wearing my hair in a freshly learned Orchid bun!

[ooglipoo]

Double braids.

[Larki]

Braided pigtails and a wide headband. :)

[LauraLongLocks]

Right now it's in a braided cinnabun and I have a hat over it because I'm headed out for a 3 mile run soon.

[Yuuki]

This afternoon: Gibson tuck

Now: Ponytail

[Johannah]

Nautilus bun today. Again.

[browneyedsusan]

Yesterday: Lilith Moon tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6fqWv7NKBU) last variation (about 2:00 into video)
--lawn seats at a rock concert, and it was smoking hot!--

[LauraLongLocks]

In a very hasty nautilus bun.

[Johannah]

Gibraltar bun, but I just tried the orchid bun for the first time. I can add this one to my list!

[cdmo]

I'm wearing a fishtail braid...my favorite!

[Johannah]

Braid and down because it's airdrying. And since that takes 5 hours these days... *sigh*

[browneyedsusan]

Victory rolls with the back down for church.
I braided the back and tied it with a scarf for the afternoon.

[Johannah]

A wanna-be pencil bun :lol: with my GTS fork!

[Ingrid]

Day before yesterday: knot bun
Yesterday: Orchid bun
Today: Braided cinnamon bun!

[Ingrid]

Victory rolls with the back down for church.
I braided the back and tied it with a scarf for the afternoon.

That sounds very pretty! I love victory rolls. It never really worked for me though... I need to make friends with bobby pins :)

[browneyedsusan]

Thanks, Ingrid!

Today, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJsEuA81fFU&list=UUJnOck4zrUzFllmzvX7Rhzg).
I don't think I'd like bumper bangs-- hair touching my forehead!-- so made a roll instead. (I also didn't curl it. My ponytail is straight, and pouf is littler. Too bad, so sad!)

[SThr]

Down and curly, still a little damp from washing last night.

[Neecola]

Super cute, BES!

Yesteday I had a wedding and wore my hair in a gibson tuck. I parted my hair on the side and did a lace braid on the thickest side and a twist on the other before doing the tuck as LaDollyVita shows here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r5RO29BKbI). Browneyedsusan, I remember you saying before that your hair started poking through the tuck as it got longer. She's got some tips in the video for that.

My MIL thought I had my hair professionally done! Sweet!

Today my hair is in a side pin curl bun.

The day before yesterday I wore it in a nautilis with a cute mini fork my hubby made

[browneyedsusan]

Thanks, Neecola!

Yay for "professionally done" diy! :cheer: I love when that happens!
I'll give the tips a try. Last time, I rolled the ends up in a giant pincurl thing, and they stayed in pretty good.

------------

French braided with an oblong scarf faux-paranda. I English braided the top, and tied the scarf around the elastic. Then worked the ends of the scarf and braid into a French braid down the back. The scarf ends at waist, and is very light. :) --That came out wrong. I do not look "light". I'm wearing a black Aerosmith T-shirt and leggings. The scarf is black and brown. I look like a child of the night. 8)

[Johannah]

Anooooother LWB. With my ead nightsky stick, love it!

[Neecola]

LWB

I need to make a parandi!

[browneyedsusan]

Nautilus with a bargain-basement fork I found in a shop in southern Indiana.

[Ting32]

LWB with 2 spin pins (after my boss asked me if I had a pencil in my hair yesterday autch)

[DweamGoiL]

Today, I am over the moon wearing my Senza Limiti fork that I got off the swap board from BlackRedRaven:

[Selkie-]

Gorgeous fork DweamGoil! I love Senza Limiti.

My hair is in a French braid today. :)

[höpönasu]

Side-braid. Just a normal, lazy braid.

[Johannah]

Seashell bun. First time I actually wear it, I quite like it!

[Zesty]

Lazy wrap bun pseudo-topknot. Trying to get away from elastics. :)

[Johannah]

Nautilus bun. Again. I think I'm going to try some new hairstyles today. Or French braid.

[browneyedsusan]

2 nautiluses (nautili?) arranged over/under. (Like a stoplight)

ETA: Low LWB with antler fork now. The nautili were pulling my hair naughtily. --I made a pun!--:p

[Neecola]

Down & curly today.

Yesterday was a folded braid.

[Johannah]

L infinity bun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fzn4gNWIVQ

[Ingrid]

Braided cinnamon bun with my go-to fork. I need to vary my choice of hair toy for my buns...

Nice one! Very punny :lol:

[browneyedsusan]

I set braidwaves last night, and wore them 2.5 hours this morning. When I checked them, the front was very pretty, but the back looked like a birdnest! (I think it must have been a teensy bit damp this morning, and relaxed out back there.)

Back to the low LWB and antler fork! :lala:

[LauraLongLocks]

Most of the week I had my hair in a LWB. On Thursday I did a JamieLeigh. I wore it in a cinnabun most of the day today. School is keeping me busy!

[PrincessBob]

Nautilus with Quattro basics bronze fork.

[Neecola]

A low pony that I just now took out to try the L Infinity bun Johannah linked to (Thanks J!)

[Ingrid]

Braided cinnamon bun today, with a four-prong fork. I need to figure out what hairstyle I'll learn next week :)

[browneyedsusan]

Beehive for church. (Yes, I tease and hairspray sometimes. I grew it to mess with, and I really have fun with it!)

Lwb this afternoon. It took a while to make that transformation!

[loves2spin]

I have a nice silver clip/barrette that DH gave me a number of years ago. I have it gathered at the back of my neck with that. :)

[Aime33]

I haven't gotten dressed or combed my hair yet, so it's still in the French braid that I put it in for bed last night. :) I do it when it's wet so that I have a little wave when it's taken out.

[LauraLongLocks]

Sock bun with a cute little accent flower on the side.

[missblueeyes]

Sock bun (well, donut bun) with the ends twisted and pinned around. :)

[woolyleprechaun]

My first ever braided nautilus, held with an Ead stick.

[animetor7]

A Chinese bun that's sort of messy as I need to wash my hair and it's rebelling. :p Ah well.

[Jennwith4]

[Ingrid]

Braided cinnamon bun... my new favourite go-to hairstyle :)

[Skade]

Just my sleep braids because it's wash day and I'm not going to bother doing anything else until my hair is clean and dry again.

[PrincessBob]

Braided version of Gossamer's LWB mod for extra long hair, with Bolivian rosewood Jeter fork.

[Sparklylady82]

I had it in a lazy wrap bun today (woohoo so excited I can do this now!) and now it is down and drying after a wash :-)

[Ingrid]

Lopsided braided LWB today.

[gthlvrmx]

Loose as always nowadays. :p It's so short i can't put it up in any hairstyle.

[Johannah]

In a clover bun.

[Selkie-]

Lazy English braid.

[browneyedsusan]

Loose as always nowadays. :p It's so short i can't put it up in any hairstyle.

Been there!

Topknot right now.

[Zesty]

Lazy crown braid for a day doing laundry and lounging around the house.

[Larki]

Ponytail. I was going to put it in a bun, but my hair just looked too nice this morning to hide away, and it's too hot to leave it down.

[Sparklylady82]

Me too! I still have nice waves from wash day last night. I work out today so in a pony it goes

[Neecola]

Wash day, so down.

[Aime33]

Day #3 of Pha bun - I think that I may be getting a little better at it - at least it doesn't pinch as much at the back :)

[Yenn]

Gibson-ish tuck! damn you layers! Never thought they could cause so much trouble :/ add that to APL thick hair and a month of keeping hair in updos makes me wonder if I'm a masochist....

[Verdandi]

Double clip buns, very comfry!

[Johannah]

Twisted lazy wrap with leaf flexi

[Ingrid]

Braided LWB, again.

[ExpectoPatronum]

Probably a side braid. I need to vary my updos more.

[Sparklylady82]

[pastina]

i found a set of cheap plastic hair sticks from claire's in the basement-- they're now currently doing a better-than-expected job of holding my hair up!

[Dona]

I have to work today (restaurant) so in a ponytail!

[Johannah]

Nautilus bun with leaf flexi. I love this flexi so much!

Pictures? or a link to the pretty flexi?

ETA:
fresh henna = down. Everything wants to slide out. :)

[brickworld13]

My blue, gray, and white paranda. I think I'm in love with this thing. I haven't figured out how to make buns with it yet, but I still like to wear it around.

[Neecola]

Thanks Ingrid! I was so excited to finally get a new phone to have better quality hair shots (you might be a wanna-be longhair if...) but for some reason the color is off and my hair looks burgandy.

Aime, what a pretty bun! It looks like a seashell.


Today I have my hair in another kind of twisted half up.

[Sparklylady82]

Twisted disc bun and after rough housing with my toddler I redid it into a LWB

[Madora]

A sort of coronet braid but done a little sneakily:

Lace braided from right ear around head to left ear, then remainder dutch braided (a single plait I mean) and wound around my head. Holds like a rock and really comfy!

[Dona]

Fishtail braid to the side.

[Phexlyn]

Madora, that's a great way of doing a coronet! I can't do a proper coronet, it always ends up lopsided or I run out of hair before I'm don, but I've got to try this, it seems far more manageable than the real thing ;)

I'm wearing a braid wound around the head today.

[Selkie-]

Dutch braid. :)

[Johannah]

Down, because it's wash day!

[Aime33]

It's actually still in the two braids that I did to sleep in last night - the reason for this is - my Tangle Teezer is supposed to come in the mail today and I want to see if it *really* works - what better way than messy-slept-in braids?

[dogzdinner]

Mine is in my regular 'do, a single plait.
(I know everyone here says braids but its always been a plait to me!)

[Neecola]

I worked this morning, so a lazy wrap bun

[Larki]

Heidi braids. :)

[Sparklylady82]

I did a fancy side bun for a wedding. I pin curled the top half and then bobby pinned the pieces to my scalp and around the bun. Now, its down after washing and I will do two dutch braids for bed.

[Phexlyn]

Cinnabun. :)

[Johannah]

In a Pha bun :)

[Edelweiss]

Lazy wrap bun, as usual.
I really need to change but this one is so easy !

[Sparklylady82]

Faux messy bun done with a sock tube thingy...it's coming down shortly though due to it hurting my scalp.
