I finally dared to try the figure 8 again, and where my hair always flopped out because the ends were too short.. not so now! :D I just HAD to share it with you all.

This one is not tight, and is secured with 3 Amish pins in total. Two on top, one on the bottom (which was not really needed but anyway). Here it is with and without flash.

It is so hard to see details with that dark hair :lol:

Thanks! It stays nice and put too! I don't think I will wear this on a regular basis though, maybe when my hair is longer and I can do this with braiding it first :) I just like my updos to be storm proof I guess :lol:

How pretty!

This is one of my major goals.
I will really feel like i'm getting somewhere if I can do a figure 8.

Someone on the Dutch forum asked me to secure the 8 with a Flexi-8, and so I did.

So, this is the figure 8 one more time with a flexi size small:

The ends got tucked under and then I secured those with a scroo.

Wow, eadwine! That looks even better than the first pics you posted. It's great to know that a figure 8 can be secured with a flex-8. Hey, they both are figure 8s, so it's only logical they should make the perfect pair! :D

Hehe yeah.. as long as you secure the top o like I did. I tried in the center too, but FLOOP the hair went, so in the center is not the best point.

It is still in my hair now so it is staying up nicely considering I haven't even misted the hair before this attempt.

That's lovely! I especially like the one with the Flexi-8; that blue shows beautifully against your hair. Congratulations on the milestone!

Thanks everyone!

The blues look lovely indeed, and boy am I glad I didn't sell off the small now :lol:

Looks fantastic, eadwine! I like the flexi-8 with it.
Hmm...maybe I should try a figure-eight again on my hair.

I'm going to have to look up how you do that- looks like a never ending mobius strip!

Congratulations :)

love the 2nd one with the flexi 8. i agree the blue looks very beautiful against your shiny hair :)

i can only do a round bun right now - where i turn my head upside down and twist my hair til it gets tight and then i wrap it around itself and tuck the ends in. it actually stays like that - but i usually put a loose scrunchie over the edge just in case...

Wow.. I would never be able to do that.. my hair is way to slippery for that.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I have been trying to get it to look as nice but haven't managed yet :lol:
