30 Day: 30 Different Hairstyles Challenge!

[Arete]

There's so much you can do with long hair, let's prove it! Join me doing a different hairstyle every day for a month (or a week, or two, or whatever...)
Rules:
1) Each day wear a different hairstyle. Variations on a style count as "different." E.g. Side english braid vs. english braid down the back, PLain cinnabun vs. cinnabun with an accent braid or twist, etc.
2) You must try at least 4 different styles (one per week). Learn a new braid or bun, try out a fake bob... Have fun learning something new!
3) Check back in this thread periodically, regaling us with tales of your style adventures

Optional:
1) Take pictures and post in the thread for all the inspiration and eye candy!

I'll start us off:
Day 1: Hair down with micro braid head band and side accent

[Deborah]

Wow! You are truly adventurous! I freely admit that I am way to lazy for something like this. I hope you find other non-lazy folks who will join you though, as this really is a nice idea. Have fun with it!

[Shorty89]

Ack! My reply disappeared! I think I'm going to try this. :) I'm bad about doing a lazy nautilus constantly and not being more creative.

[Kat-Rinnè Naido]

Ooh I love to try this. I have been contemplating changing my daily style to reduce damage. Okay I am in. Now to think of protective hair styles for my length.

[hanne jensen]

I'm in! I challenge myself to change my updo every other day for 2 weeks. I'm fumblefingered and impatient. Also, I've grown out of my standard go to updos. Time to learn something new.

Day 1: A folded, not twisted cinnabun on top of my head held with a Ficcare.

[Lily_white]

I'm in, I need to try out more hairstyles, I just so the same buns over and over. I'm going to try to do a different hairstyle every day for the next two weeks, starting today with a celtic knot bun.

[PixieP]

I'll be in for November, a different style each day in November! Time to start some research XD thankfully I can do a lotttt of braid variations and that'll help!

[Arete]

Day 2: recycling the micro braids from yesterday since I didn't take them out last night

[MoniLein]

I'm in, too :)

Today I wore a lace-braid which ended in a reversal bun:

[AspenSong]

I think this is a great idea! I tend to just wear the same thing day in and day out...I'm really considering joining this and giving it a try!

[Kamille]

I really need to learn how to braid different styles! I am not used to longer hair, so I gotta check youtube some more..

[Shorty89]

I totally forgot to grab a picture of my hair today. :doh: but it was a half up with two braids tied at the back of my head.

[Arete]

Whoot! Our cohort grows!

And absolutely gorgeous MoniLein! *makes note to try this thing called a reversal bun*

[hanne jensen]

Today my hair is up in something that starts as an LWB but evolves into something else. I can't master the LWB as I'm a lefty. Held with my trusty Ficcare.

[Kat-Rinnè Naido]

Yesterday was a lock from the front of both sides pulled back and twisted into a rope while the rest of my hair hung loose. Later I put it all in a bun

Day 2 a high bun

[Hairkay]

I'm more of a new style each week kind of person.

[Lily_white]

Day 2. A dutch braid.

[MoniLein]

Thank you, Arete! That bun is very easy to do :)

Today I wore a dutch braid which was wraped in a Nautilus bun

http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/istris83/Frisuren/2016/2016-10/20161024_zpsfdmbwegm.jpg (http://s1030.photobucket.com/user/istris83/media/Frisuren/2016/2016-10/20161024_zpsfdmbwegm.jpg.html)

[Arete]

I love your hair MoniLein :)

Day 3: My new style for week one: a nautilus bun with my brand new (to me) WWC stick. I've struggled doing the nautilus for YEARS, and finally figured it out. I want to wear it again, so I guess I'll do a variation on it soon.

Day 4: Chinese bun
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x385/TheJazzPony/Mobile%20Uploads/tmp_12943-PhotoGrid_1477388641467-778149699_zps5rzxcsf2.jpg (http://s1179.photobucket.com/user/TheJazzPony/media/Mobile%20Uploads/tmp_12943-PhotoGrid_1477388641467-778149699_zps5rzxcsf2.jpg.html)

[Kat-Rinnè Naido]

Day 3 a low bun

[MoniLein]

Thank you, Arete :)
I needed some time to figure out the nautilus, too :agree: but now it is one of my "go-to" buns

Day 3: Cinnabun (held up with 2 scroos) with a decorative pin
http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/istris83/Frisuren/2016/2016-10/20161025_zpsfkjtiykt.jpg (http://s1030.photobucket.com/user/istris83/media/Frisuren/2016/2016-10/20161025_zpsfkjtiykt.jpg.html)

[Lily_white]

Day 3. A french braid, no new hairstyles for me yet. I think I have to spend some time on youtube...

[Shorty89]

Day 2: (I started a day late) Messy nautilus bun with my longer bangs rope braided back at the sides. Sorry for the crappy picture. I was in a hurry when I took it.

[hanne jensen]

Day 4: A single braid down my back.

[Kat-Rinnè Naido]

Day 4; 2 three strand braids on either side of my head rope twisted at the back of my head

[Lily_white]

Day 4. A pha bun. A new bun for me and it seems to hold well 🙂

[Rhodugune]

I'm a little late, but here is my first photo of the lazy wrap bun I wore today, it is my go to bun so I thought I would get that one out of the way early.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f324/Rhodugune/Day-1-Lazy-wrap-bun2_zpsfwtykezl.jpg

When I have more time I usually part my hair in the front and pin it up loosely framing my face, but time got away from me this morning. :rolleyes:

[Shorty89]

Day 3: combination braid. Picture to follow (when I stop being lazy)

[Robot Ninja]

Okay you know what, I'm in. Probably without pics though because I am having hair color issues and also am lazy.

Day 1: Lazy wrap bun, held with an ONN oval. One of my go-to styles.

[MoniLein]

Day 4: Seashell-Bun
Today I tried a new bun. It is really easy to wrap, but didn't feel really robust - today at home it held up, but I normally walk quiete a bit at work/my way home, I would need something different to hold it up than my hairstick...

http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/istris83/20161026_zpsju6zzse7.jpg (http://s1030.photobucket.com/user/istris83/media/20161026_zpsju6zzse7.jpg.html)

To me, this looks like a portrait of a queen. Positively regal, back and front. Gorgeous.

[Kat-Rinnè Naido]

Day 5 a side bun.

Wow I am seeing gorgeous hairstyles. When my hair gets a little longer I am going to try these. Thank you for sharing

[Lily_white]

Day 5, l-finity bun. Nothing new but I like it. Yesterdays pha bun gave me a headache after a few hours, possibly because of the vertical stick.

[Robot Ninja]

Day 2, and my new hairstyle for the week: Hybrid braid.

ETA: Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTqf0rdOaBk (for some reason the "link" button isn't working.)

[MoniLein]

Lily_white: if I make the pha-bun too tight, I also get a headache from it (and it ist really easy to make it too tight, but it holds really well)

Day 5: Nessa-Bun

Day 4 was a crown braid but now it's a plastic bag on my head. :P

[Arete]

I have pics of day 5 and 6, just haven't had a chance to upload to photo bucket and resize. Crazy busy at the moment.
Day 5: Ropebraided cinnabun
Day 6: Soft twist into a cinnabun

[Kat-Rinnè Naido]

your pictures look great! :cheer:
I absolutely love that picture! The bun looks great in your hair :flower: And that beautiful colour .. Such a magnificent photo.

[lithostoic]

Whaaat how did I not see this until now! My job requires hair to be pulled back so I can't really so this :/ Not enough length to have 30 options.

[Arete]

Day 7: Arete's cheater nautilus/lazy wrap mutant bun. Pics to come tonight!

[Arete]

Whaaat how did I not see this until now! My job requires hair to be pulled back so I can't really so this :/ Not enough length to have 30 options.

Maybe go for a week or too? Styles that would (probably work at your length: English/french/dutch/rope/hauser/fishtail braid, cinbabun, seashell bun, treble cord bun, disc bun, infinity bun (depends on your thickness), lazy wrap bun, Chinese bun/braided Chinese bun. Add twists and/or micro braids to these, vary the placement, etc. And you'd easily get a week or two. Also flips, fake fishtail, braided buns, zipper beaid, bubble braid, bun hawk, twin buns, milk maid braid,pigtails, double braids, down, half up (variations with any of the store mentioned styles), and I Bet you could get there weeks, and probably thirty days!

[Lily_white]

Lily_white: if I make the pha-bun too tight, I also get a headache from it (and it ist really easy to make it too tight, but it holds really well)

Thank you for sharing these ideas Arete the first style I would like to work at is the shell bun posted here. It is just to beautiful, a must try. Thank you to the poster for the idea

[hanne jensen]

Yesterday, a loose cinnabun held with u shaped pins. Today, a folded braid held with a ficcare. I don't remember what day I'm on but I do know that I'm done with this challenge arouned the 12 November.

[Robot Ninja]

Day 4: Gibraltar bun held with CMW fork. My other go-to style.

[Kat-Rinnè Naido]

Day 7 rope braid bunned on each side of my head

[MoniLein]

Thank you, Dessi :)

Lily_white, if your hair is long enough for a Nautilus, then the Nessa-bun will hold too (it's like an "upside-down" Nautilus :D )

Arete, your pictures are so beautiful! I really like your yellow/black fly on your day 6 :D


Yesterday, I wore a simple Nautilus (day 6)

Today, day 7, I oiled my hair (pre-wash) and I am running around my apartment with a really shiny english braid :D

Arete your buns are gorgeous. I went and bought a few quils today to use as hair sticks. As soon as I get my photobucket up and running I shall be posting pictures

Day 8: Arete is lazy, this simply down it is. Also washed most of the color out of my length. As much as I want to redye (can't with new job), I do like (mostly) having my natural color back

[Rhodugune]

To me, this looks like a portrait of a queen. Positively regal, back and front. Gorgeous.

Oh thank you what a lovely compliment. :blossom:

Here is how I have worn my hair the last 3 days:

Thursday: Knot bun

Friday: Lets call it Maya's version of the Beebutt bun as that is how it's done, but with one extra step at the end were I take the innermost coil and pull it over the outer ones to sort of look the bun in place.

[Shiranshoku]

I though for sure I had already posted here, but apparently not :D
I figured I'd check in weekly, but my memory isn't strong enough to last an entire week...

So, day 1: Pull through braided pony
day 2: Plain old cinnabun (I feel 'bad' for this one, I was hoping to keep my go-to styles for the end of the 30 day challenge)
day 3: French pigtails into a lazy wrap. This was my attempt at something new :-).

I'm actually on day 5 or so, but I have no idea what I did with my hair 4 days ago.

[Shorty89]

Day 7: First successful (mostly) five strand combination braid with accents. Sorry for the blurry pictures. My actual camera with a self timer broke and I have shaky hands.

[Arete]

Day 12: French braid into a nautilus with my gorgeous new TT (new for me)

[spidermom]

So people count a different-shaped bun as a different hairstyle? To me, a bun is a bun is a bun.

[Arete]

Day 14: An English braid down the back (forgot pics)
Day 15 (1): Got sick, so hair is down again. I will repeat day 15 tomorrow when I hopefully feel better.




So people count a different-shaped bun as a different hairstyle? To me, a bun is a bun is a bun.

For the purpose of this challenge, yes. In reality, all different buns are variations on the category "bun," And we are counting variations as different styles, so different shaped buns do count.

[Arete]

Day 13. Braided cinnabun with a paranda.

[Frankenstein]

I'd like to do this since I've been bored/fed up with my hair lately, maybe this will inspire me to be more interested in it again :D
My hairstyle abilities are quite limited so I won't be able to do a whole month, but I'll go as long as I can until I run out of variations.

Day 1: Lazy wrap bun (getting the easy stuff out of the way :p)

[Shorty89]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to put a hold on participating in this. I've been very busy because we had a death in the family. Unfortunately I haven't had time to think about my hairstyles. But I'll do another week of this in the future.

Day 12: French braid into a nautilus with my gorgeous new TT (new for me)
Day 13: Seashell bun. This is my new style for the week. I don't think it works quite as well with longer hair. I had about a foot of tail using the four and two fingers, and it looks kind of funky. At least it looks like I have a huge bun :laugh:

It works for my hair length you just have to be very careful with it when you start twisting around first 4 fingers then 2 then hold and gently slide the fingers out from the side. I love doing the seashell bun so much.

[Silverbleed]

I don't go out every day so I'm too lazy to put it in a nice bun - let alone think of a nice hairstyle.

Is it okay to do this but skip the days I'm home? xD

Because I know I won't be able to have a 30 day streak going. But I do enjoy experimenting with different styles.

[Arete]

Silverbleed, why not? I was thinking thirty consecutive days, but it does say 30 days, 30 different hairstyles with no specification to the proximity of those days :p

Resurrecting this thread (: I'm planning on following along in April with TorrinPaige's 30daysofhairstyles (unless I just don't have the ability to wear/do a style, in which case I'll substitute with a different one. Hoping not to need to, though) so I might as well post here as I go.

[wispe]

Day 1 is a french braid. I just really struggle with these, my hands want to work differently and if I don't catch myself it morphs into a dutch braid about halfway down :eek:

I love how the colour blends seamlessly into your braid.

[Hybris]

I'm also participating in TorrinPaige's #30daysofhairstyles challenge! :D

The hair is so shiny because it's oiled (pre-wash, I'm about to go wash it now :) )

I've only tried french braid a few times and wasn't very successful. This time I had no problems! Must be all the oil that made it tangle less.

Oh I forgot this thread lmao. Torrin's challenge sounds interesting though, I think I'll join in. Since she posted only an hour ago I'll be a day behind though because it's already late here. So tomorrow french braid it is :cool:

Wispe your hair is so awesome! I love how your roots blend in perfectly with your braids.
Also on a different subject, what are those things called for your earrings? I see you have these kind of covers, and it looks like it 'blocks' the point part of the earring, right? I'm still trying to find a way to sleep with my earrings because I always forget to take them out or put them back in. Once I take them out I'll have no earrings for like a week until somebody points it out... I'd love to have those covers so I won't stab myself in my sleep xD

Hybris your hair is so thick and shiny, that's amazing ;o

Here's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lenvSzexGbM) the video and list of styles for April, if you want to be prepared for the rest of the days! It's really going to be a challenge for me, not because of the styles (I think I can manage them all) but because I'm used to wearing my hair down on wash days, and never up for so many consecutive days.

Thank you! About the earrings - depends on if you mean my lobe jewelry or my conch jewelry? I actually have stretched lobes - my jewelry is 6mm opalite glass (https://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=13633) right now. Though I usually sleep with my lobes empty anyway, for comfort purposes. I used to wear 12mm plugs and those are not comfy to sleep in- but I had to downsize after eczema made my ears swell anyway, but now at a smaller size I occasionally forget to take my plugs out before bed and it's never been uncomfortable yet. The other jewelry you can see is the back of my conch piercing. I wear anatometal jewelry in that one; a straight 14 gauge internally threaded post and I can swap the jewelry on either end whenever I like (but tbh I never change this out). Currently wearing a gold flower inside the bowl of my ear and a 4mm prong-set white opal on the back. (closer-ups x (http://i.imgur.com/6JcVJ4Q.jpg?1) x (http://i.imgur.com/YJxpeyG.jpg?1)) Before I bought the flower I wore the opal on the front and a little 2mm metal ball on the back, also super comfy. Another option is flat-back style labrets (like neometal threadless if you can get your hands on that?). Seamless/twist-apart hoops might also be comfy if you're not into studs?

[hobbitlocks]

I'm doing this too! I'll probably skip while traveling next weekend, but other than that I'm looking forward to it! I was thinking it would help me get out of my LWB every day rut... but I still LWB-ed my French braid today :shrug: tomorrow I will manage to not wear a LWB :)

Ooooh that's what it is? Those are really nice. I don't have stretched earlobes tho. Those are really lovely, I've actually considered getting the flower piercing myself like two weeks ago. I passed because I forgot my wallet lmao. But yeah, those look really nice especially with your hair!
Yeah I have two pairs of those flat backs labrets right now. I didn't know that was the name for those though, so that's gonna help me in my search for more. Thanks!!

I'm going to give torrin's #30daysofhairstyles challenge a go too, although I'm going to be a day behind (for my time zone) so I can watch her videos the night before I do them.

So today's the French braid, which I'm kind of crap at. It doesn't actually look too bad from the side or back (at least if you don't look closely), but it doesn't look great from the front. But I'm home doing laundry and cleaning today, so I'm just going to go with it. And I bunned the tail to help hide the pooch at the bottom where I can't seem to get it to hold tightly. (Any advice on this? I tried crossing over the last bits I added in to opposite sides, but it still went loose. Maybe I just need more practice?)

Haha yep, I have problems with regular earrings and I wanted to wear stone and pretty glass so I stretched up. I'll probably stretch back up again at some point, but for now just maintaining where I am. Good luck with jewelry searching! (:

Back to the topic at hand, I'm sitting here looking at this list and trying to plan out my wash days in advance; I don't wash on the same schedule as she does and I want to make sure I have clean-enough hair for certain styles and dirty/grippy enough hair for others. There's also several styles I would want curls for and I'll need to wet set my hair the night before for those.

hobbitloccks I've been wearing a lot of LWBs lately too; I'm hoping to break myself of the habit this month. Though I also bunned my braid about halfway through the day, just better to keep it out of the way sometimes.

Dante It's probably just a matter of practice and getting the tension right when you do the crossover trick - I had to re-do my first try after I totally failed to get the pooch contained. But then I also forgot to do the crossover trick both times. I find dutch braids muuch easier to get the tension correct on, but I just confuse myself doing it french.

Day 2: First sock bun ever! Featuring an actual sock. I like how big this makes my bun look but it does feel kinda heavy. Not used to that. However, it does feel super secure which is great because today is home improvement projects day:

I posted day two on my instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/BSZB69lBFcB/?taken-by=hobbitlocks). I used to wear sock buns a lot, but stopped because after I moved I bike to school/work and they do not fit under a helmet and I need a mirror to do one (so I can't just throw it up when I get to my office). But I should remember it more for days I'm not biking!

wispe: I love the mix of colors in your braid.

hayheadsbird: I like the white accent! Is it a ribbon or a maybe scrunchi?

Vampyyri: Both your braid and your braided accent look so nice!!

[Reyesuela]

I did a nautilus with claw clips yesterday and a hypno bun with my one fork today.

[wispe]

Oh there's suddenly so much to keep up with! You all look good!

Here's my Day 2 - Sock bun (well, scrunchie bun. No suitable socks to be found).

It's a cream ribbon. Was the best choice out of what was in the house. I liked wearing the ribbons so much I went out and bought some in my favourite colours today so I can do it again :D

I like the ribbon! I need to get properly wide/long ribbons but thus far I've been stuck with yarn :P

Yep, I braided it in after all the rest of my hair was in the braid- you can actually see where the paranda starts if you look at the right side pictures, I didn't entirely get that bit covered up when I wrapped it around.

[hayheadsbird]

8 meters of satin ribbon cost me a whole £2.50 today. So I got four 2 meter lengths in purples and greens. Can't wait to use them :)

Day 3 is a nautilus. I'm greasy and it's rainy out so I'm not putting myself through the effort of uploading/size editing a photo. But I did post in the tag on instagram if you want to see :) Later today I'm washing and setting curls for overnight - I want them for my half-up tomorrow.

I think the point is more to do a different hairstyle every day of April, and that you don't have to follow the suggested styles if you don't want to (or can't!) wear them.

I was going to do a braided crown half-up but I tried three or four different things and none of them were working, so I did this instead: It's like three turns of a french braid, pinned down, with my front layers/bangs pulled through and pinned around it. I had like 6 pins in there but I took them all out an hour ago and my hair is still staying. It's humid ('bout to storm) and my hair has frizzed a bit so I figure that combined with the texture from the waves has kept it up. When I was trying to do it this morning it was too slippery to hold! IDK what my hair is up to!

Reyesuela- I like that hairtoy with that bun. I've seen those before but wasn't sure what to do with them. It looks cool!

I switched day 4 and 5 of TorrinPaige's 30 day challenge to better match my wash schedule, so I'm wearing a half up today (you can see it on my instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hobbitlocks/)if you want). I can't remember the last time I wore my hair down/half down the whole day, but so far so good (it's still morning where I am though ;))

I am still struggling with decent hair selfies. LOL.

Super neat style! I struggled wearing mine down on half-up day as well; it was really windy outside and just humid enough to give me a bit of frizz. I bunned my tail today just to keep it out of trouble.

My first ever Dutch braid for day 5
http://i68.tinypic.com/35bcylt.jpg
I spent about 40 minutes doing it (well, redoing it) until I thought my shoulders were doing to give out, and I bunned the bottom mostly because of the rain but also partly as I didn't want to have to do any more braiding!

I don't know if I've got it in me to do a combo braid tomorrow, it just looks way too far beyond my abilities.

[hayheadsbird]

If you can French braid, you can do the combo braid. You could start the French braid behind you ears/half way down your head so it won't take as long or be so tiring?

Here's my combo braid for today. Bunned because I want my ends out of the way today.

Day 7 vintage up do.

[Reyesuela]

Today: world's worst pretzel bun. My hair is too slippery at this length to do it well.

[wispe]

Days 6 and 7 done. Both were minor fails - I tried all the fishtailing on Thursday and didn't get a neat, tight result like I wanted. But it looked complicated so it's alright. Todays' suggested style I did not have enough hair to do as intended, so I had to modify it, and even that was off and uncomfortable to wear. I ended up wearing a modified chinese bun, but with rope braided tails and I kept out a bang section to 'swoop' into it (although minor fail there too, LOL). It's comfy and a new style to me so I'm alright with it.

[Dante]

Day 7 vintage updo. Really not my cup of tea, although I tend to like vintage styles. And I don't think tomorrow's style will be great for me either but I'll give it a go. Probably will oil it in the morning prior to washing tomorrow evening, so will want buns to keep it up anyway.

Today's didn't work great for me either. It looked okay from behind, but pretty stern front on. Clean hair here requires a softer look. I posted on Instagram though and redid in a cinnamonbun with some Dutch lace in front. I kinda want to go try the combo braid again ... if I spend another 20 minutes in front of the mirror this morning my husband might have a fit!

Days 8 and 9 were Bweeta's buns (slightly modified with dutch braids and no ponytail holders at the base) and the Masara - which I secured with a flexi-8 since I don't have bedazzled pins to line the sides.

Day 10. I was so excited for a bun I could hold with a clip instead of bobby pins. I'm not a huge fan of the center-parted bangs on me so I'll probably do tomorrow's style with a side-part instead.

[hobbitlocks]

I missed a few days, but I'm back on the train now. I'm enjoying the braided regency bun. I also don't like a center part on myself so I did a side part with a lace three strand braid on one side and just a three strand braid on the smaller side of the part. The braids aren't exactly the same size, but I don't think it's that obvious, at least not in this picture (https://www.instagram.com/p/BStpjt_hduf/?taken-by=hobbitlocks).

Tomorrow's bun is a little too floofy for me to wear to a meeting I have, so I'll probably trade.

My French braid slid down the back of my head into a puddle where the tail starts at the nape :rollin:
And I did a tight braid, tucked the tail in back of the main braid, and had secured the tail with a small hair tie to help anchor the flexi.

Aw I'm sorry it didn't work for you! I was honestly surprised mine held up as well as it did, considering my hair is also super fine and slippery. No idea if I'll be able to replicate it again... I expected a lot more sag than what I got (and it did sag, about two inches down by the end of the day despite anchoring it high just in case. Still looked nice though). I braided it tight to the scalp also, and pancaked the tail of it. The original style (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND5dJXnBs2k) is supposed to be pinned down all along the sides of the folded braids; perhaps you could try that and see if you can get a flexi to stay purely decoratively?

Kitty is adorable, but very sharp. And a terror to my hair, lol. :taz: Thank you!


Wispe that is absolutely elegant. How do you do that?


Basically this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND5dJXnBs2k) only I didn't have decorative pins and my braids are flat rather than thick and fluffed up like torrin's so I did it differently. Make a braid (in my case, a dutch braid, snugly braided at the scalp and pancake the tail), then fold it upwards rather than tucking it under. Double it up/sandwich the tail between your head and the folded part of the braid. (I used one bobby pin to keep my tassel in place) Insert flexi. Make sure the stick part goes through both the folded braid and the one on your scalp on both entry and exit points, and try to keep it centered. Pray it doesn't sag! (it did, but not immediately and it held all day anyway. My hair is too slippery for braids not to slip and it actually held up better than anticipated). If the toy is too heavy or it wants to sag you could try like I suggested above and pin around the edges like the original tutorial says to do, and use your toy decoratively. Good luck if you try! :blossom:

Aw I'm sorry it didn't work for you! I was honestly surprised mine held up as well as it did, considering my hair is also super fine and slippery. No idea if I'll be able to replicate it again... I expected a lot more sag than what I got (and it did sag, about two inches down by the end of the day despite anchoring it high just in case. Still looked nice though). I braided it tight to the scalp also, and pancaked the tail of it. The original style (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND5dJXnBs2k) is supposed to be pinned down all along the sides of the folded braids; perhaps you could try that and see if you can get a flexi to stay purely decoratively?

Kitty is adorable, but very sharp. And a terror to my hair, lol. :taz: Thank you!

Basically this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND5dJXnBs2k) only I didn't have decorative pins and my braids are flat rather than thick and fluffed up like torrin's so I did it differently. Make a braid (in my case, a dutch braid, snugly braided at the scalp and pancake the tail), then fold it upwards rather than tucking it under. Double it up/sandwich the tail between your head and the folded part of the braid. (I used one bobby pin to keep my tassel in place) Insert flexi. Make sure the stick part goes through both the folded braid and the one on your scalp on both entry and exit points, and try to keep it centered. Pray it doesn't sag! (it did, but not immediately and it held all day anyway. My hair is too slippery for braids not to slip and it actually held up better than anticipated). If the toy is too heavy or it wants to sag you could try like I suggested above and pin around the edges like the original tutorial says to do, and use your toy decoratively. Good luck if you try! :blossom:

Oh yes, I recall that video!
Never thought to pin it :doh: lol
And perhaps one of my smaller/lighter flexis would be better; I had used a Medium :hmm:
My braid has little substance to it also.....but I love that look!
It is worth trying to make a flexi work than just settling for securing it with an alligator claw or barrette at the top :thumbsup:

Yeah I had tried it out the night before on my sleep braid when I had the idea first and it totally didn't hold at all, I thought I was going to have to bobby pin it for hold (and that flexi was a large, so I thought it'd be too heavy for sure). Guess I lucked out; I totally don't expect to be able to replicate the look without bobby pins again (at least not consistently). I agree, it's totally worth finding a workaround if you want to wear a certain toy work even if it is only decoratively. I might prefer my hairtoy also holds the style but if I need to pin it to make it work, then that's what I do.

Just to throw it out there; this style might hold better with a paranda braided in there. And then you can have braidwaves the next day all the way to the ends... /gonna try this myself... sometime.

ETA: Today's hair is Sansa's hairstyle during the joust (plus bangs because I do what I want). I had to drive my brother in to school before I'd had a chance to do my hair, so I totally ended up out in public with my hair rolled up and lumpily squashed under a scarf. I'm going to pretend nobody actually saw me like that. Of course, now that my hair is done I'm not leaving the house again today, so I've paired this hairstyle with my rattiest pair of leggings. I'm totally nailing the whole look, right? :cool: LOL

Of course no one saw you :whistle: lol

Good for you styling it up at home ....with t-shirt and leggings :cheer:

As I said in the other thread....your pic today is beautiful...the color and style :crush:

Good ideas...I will keep them in mind for future attempts :thumbsup:
I am not good at having a vision for styles to try :o

[bparnell75]

Thank you :o

I love how soft and full your buns look (I try to emulate it lol)....and your hair toys creations are so pretty :thumbsup:

Thank You.

Super pretty! My braids didn't wrap around like I had imagined so I went for the messily pretty floof too (:

That's really pretty!

I've switched days around as I had the be up and out early this morning, and we have a party tomorrow, so Dutch braids today and I'll attempt klassy tomorrow afternoon ;)
https://i.imgur.com/ooUkasb.jpg

As of next week I'll be doing a lot of switching round, simply because I'll be back To work so no where near as much time on a weekday morning to do my hair.

These are nice! I'll be keeping an eye out for your version of the klassy 'do - I surprised myself with how much I liked it. I'd rather not have to use a bun form and elastics, but that's just me being odd. When the month is over I might give it another go with different buns as the base and see if any of them are big enough to suit while still leaving enough tails out to pincurl. Might need more length before I can ditch the bunform.

Since I didn't expect to like this bun I wasn't planning to post pics of it, but oh well. I like that having leftover curls means it's much easier to place and pin my sort-of bangs into an aesthetically-pleasing swoop. So here's day 14.

Today's didn't work great for me either. It looked okay from behind, but pretty stern front on. Clean hair here requires a softer look. I posted on Instagram though and redid in a cinnamonbun with some Dutch lace in front. I kinda want to go try the combo braid again ... if I spend another 20 minutes in front of the mirror this morning my husband might have a fit!

Looks gorgeous from the back though!

I've been spending so much time trying new styles the last few days that I haven't had time to post them! So here's some catch-up.

Day 8 bweeta's buns

Day 12 Sansa' joust hair (with the bottom braided to hide wash day oiliness)

Day 13 Grecian updo
http://i66.tinypic.com/ct66o.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2mhu0ps.jpg

Day 14 was supposed to be a Klassy updo but I substituted in one of next week's styles, the dark elf braid. Bit of a fail in that my lace rope braids at the sides didn't hold well, but after over an hour at it I'm calling it done

[hayheadsbird]

Love the dark elf braids!

[wispe]

I quite like them all especially the Grecian updo, but I have to agree the dark elf braids are stunning! I love the added flowers!

[wispe]

Last three days: pinned up dutch braids (I overstretched my wash day to have fresh hair for Easter), a french fishtail (after I accidentally caught my purse in my more elaborate updo and had to re-do as I left the house), and today's cinnabun. My hair hasn't been subjected to so many elastics in such a short period of time possibly ever before, and it's not entirely happy about it. Whoops!

Day 18: Dark elf braid. I'm so proud of how even and straight the sectioning was. That being said, given how tiny my 4 braids tapered to, I'm terrified of the Arwen battle braid at the end of this month. I may have to modify it slightly.

Day 15: double Dutch braids

http://i67.tinypic.com/20zsit4.jpg

The shanghai swirl looks great!

For day 19 my hair refused to hold a style (it literally slithered out after a few minutes... then out of the next 12 versions I tried). I ended up in a knot bun with my bangs rope braided back, and that held for... about an hour, before things started going loose again. Like whoa, hair! But then somehow while I made dinner I was able to throw it up into a pinless nautilus and it stayed for 4 hours, which was insane because I wasn't able to get my nautilus to hold pinless all this past month. ??? I don't know what my hair is up to lately.

I'm definitely giving this style another try when my hair is better behaved. Here's three of the tries my hair spit out. I will say 3-strand rope braids/twists hold better and are less expload-y than 2-strand rope/twists are, at least on me. I was so sad this style didn't hold up because I've been excitedly waiting to wear 3 strand ropes ever since I learned how to do them earlier this month.

Thank you! And wow, three strand rope braid - what type of dark magic is that? :magic:

I've never been able to get a painless nautilus to hold either, so how funny that your would do after being so slippy. Guess hair really does have a mind of its own!

Not as complicated as I thought it'd be - and it doesn't unwind/go slack nearly as much as 2 strands do so I'm happy.
Eh, pretty sure I need to clarify my hair since it's been a little odd lately. But if I do that I'll strip out some of the pink in my underlayer and I don't feel like re-dying it yet so I'm putting that off. Ah, priorities. 8)

ETA: Today I did a crown braid instead of the Madora because otherwise my braid tails are tiny where they cross in the front, and it's not my best look.

Rose water is such a pretty acrylic, no? Also, nope, I did a faux french braid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kOyGD_KOoA) at the base. I prefer not to use elastics in stick-held buns as I can never seem to hide them (as it is, you can see the gold hairband I used to tie the braid off peeking out)

I'm jumping in here in the middle, but I'm really enjoying learning a new style every day. I don't think I'm able to put a picture up, though, because I'm too new.

You can use a photo hosting site to link a photo. After 25 posts I think you can use albums on here. I'm mostly mobile so tend to use photo hosting as that's actually easier for me than the LHC albums when posting from a mobile. :)
