EDIT: Video posted to Photobucket in the meantime since YouTube is being a butt: http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c62/nowxisxforever/?action=view&current=Hairsmall.flv

I posted a length shot recently, and thought I would show y'all what my hair does when it's had plenty of moisture, let dry down, and not manipulated. (These curls are incredibly fragile.) It's a little- LOL, no, a LOT greasy because I couldn't get my SMT all the way out ( I guess they don't like me... ) but it curled up a lot so I figured I would show before I went to wash it out:

Remember my hair normally?:

A full length shot with the flat top bit ficcare'd up:

Look! A face! Plus, curls:

It's pretty fun when it does happen, to look and go "Woah, where did this come from?!" since I always thought I had wavy hair before.

I like making it "curl up" for special events, though. :D

Very, very nice! Mermaid-style! :)

I can relate to moisture making a big difference.

The color (and your eye color as well) is pretty to boot. :)

Still working on my video...YouTube decided to take down their uploading function *right then*. So I'm trying Photobucket for a compressed version.

Those are some great styles! I especially love the last one, because half-ups are my favorite and that one looks really easy. Nice job.

Yay!! I'm glad you liked it :) I was a pretty big fan of the last one too, but then I lost my ficcare... DBF told me last night that he swears it was in a box somewhere from the time before last that we moved, so I had to go ransack all our boxes and found it! so I had to include that one.

It's got the potential to be dressed up a lot more, but I'm generally low-fuss (as you can probably see), so I don't tend to.

Great video! :)

I am envious of how easily you make it look.
After all these years, I still struggle with styles. :o

I've been doing the first style since 2-3+ years ago, so I've become fairly proficient at it, and it's a pretty simple concept...bee-butt, fit the top coil down around the rest.

The others came with time! Try the last one, it's pretty easy! :)

I also added an article on how to do the locked bee-butt in the video, as well as the video clip of just that.

Nope, it's all real-time. I did the first one at my normal speed for the making of the bee-butt and slowed down to display the step that was relevant, haha- sorry! I've been wearing that particular bun for a few years near-daily. ;)
