Fan-bun video

[eresh]

I made a video of my fan-bun (because it looks like an upside down folded fan)...which was created during trying out the Dementia's D bun :)
It's really comfortable and secure....and looks elegant too!
A bit of a victorian touch perhaps.

Hope you like it!

EDIT: See post #64...
Is Rosette-bun a better name?

[eadwine]

Ohhhh I love it! :D

[Niphredil]

Gorgeous ! It looks really elegant indeed,
You could spice it up some by adding decorative pins in the bun part, or braiding ribbons in the braids.

[taliarose]

Ohhh I like this! What kind of pins did you use?

[eresh]

I used 3" amishpins, but shorter ones would be better, they were sticking out ;)

Niphredil, yes, some sparkly pins or a flower, or little butterflyclips...
I don't have any (really? yes really!)
Going to buy some soon :D

[Sherri]

Great job. I will have to grow some more hair for this style. :)

[taliarose]

I really need to get me some amishpins... <sigh>

[Wicked Princess]

Oh my goodness...your hair is so gorgeous, as is the bun. I can't wait until my hair is long enough for me to do something so elaborate! Thank you for the inspiration.

[eresh]

I'm glad you like it :)

I made it with wet hair so it would be frizz-free longer ;)

[Lize]

Amazing! :) Maybe I can try it in ten years or so... ;)

[may1em]

Eresh, that's beautiful. I don't have nearly enough hair for that, but it's really nice.


I really need to get me some amishpins... <sigh>
This would probably work with Good Days hairpins.

[GlassEyes]

Looks just like the victorian-style updo only better for longer hair. Awesome!

[JamieLeigh]

I love it!! Thanks for sharing. :flower: This actually looks like something I could get away with wearing, and seems to be fairly easy to do. :D

[eadwine]

I tried it with my silly excuse for long hair. Next time shorter braids, longer rope, but here it is, my attempt:

And the end result:

[eresh]

Woooohhh it looks great on you Eadwine!

[Niphredil]

Eadwine, that is not bad looking at all! Indeed accessorize it a bit and I'll bet it will look polished for those special occasions !

[eadwine]

SQUEEEEE!! Lookieee!!

(shorter braids, longer rope)

[eresh]

:thud:
Shine galore! It looks great!

[Niphredil]

Now you can't say your hair isn't so long yet anymore! You can do this style that is clearly working on long hair only :)
*yup, mine is both too short and too layered to even attempt it*

[eadwine]

Hehe thanks!!

Mind you.. this is a THREE braid one, not a five. I didn't want to braid 6 strands of hair per braid. :lol:

[akka naeda]

That looks amazing! I think I may practise it and if I can get it to look good perhaps do my hair like that for my sister's wedding, with my new Bijoux-Manoel pins in the bun

[Bunnyhare]

This is beautiful! i hope i can do this in about 5 years!!

[JKRBeloved]

Eresh, thanks so much for making this lovely tutorial. Wow, what an amazing hairstyle!!! Maybe some day I'll have length enough to try it. Eadwine, nice rendition!

[eresh]

I just tried it with only ropebraids :-)
Pics added in the original post

I think with BSL+ length you can make this bun, just find the right balance between the first and the second part of the tail.

[Niphredil]

Ohboy, the ropebraid version is even more stunning !!

[GlassEyes]

Oh, wow. The ropebraid one is really impressive. O_O

[Fairlight63]

That is really pretty! I don't have near the length or thickness for it though!
Thanks for the video, though, you have hair to deam for!

[Ylliria]

Oh my... that's really one of the most gorgeous updos I've ever seen!

[eadwine]

Do note.. BSL+ with my thickness or less. Any thicker and it's maybe not possible anymore.


That rope braided version is gorgeous!

[Rivanariko]

Oh, that is gorgeous! I don't think I quite have the length for it yet, but that will definitely be some inspiration!

[HeatherLarsen]

OMG that is GORGEOUS! Can't wait until I have enough hair to do this!

[Dementia1013]

I love it so much! I think I'm going to try the rope braided one tomorrow. :D

[eresh]

Thanks everyone!

Niphredil, layers might be tricky yes.
Akka naeda, good idea! now I'm curious to see it with those pins ;)
Dementia, post pictures :-D

[ElenTikvah]

Absolutely stunning updo...very elegant. Thanks for the tutorial! ~Tik

[Coriander]

Ohhh thank you thank you!

I loved the photo in your album but couldn't for the life of me figure it out :D Now I know!

I love the ropebraids and the effect they give. Gorgeous!

[eadwine]

Oh, that is gorgeous! I don't think I quite have the length for it yet, but that will definitely be some inspiration!

Yes you do. My hair is thicker than yours AND shorter and I can do it, so you must be able to pull this one off. :)

[viking_quest]

That looks amazing. The rope braid one is my favourite of the two.

[WritingPrincess]

:thud: The ropebraided one is absolutely stunning. I love it!

[Iolanthe]

That is so beautiful. Next time i need a special hair style i'm ging to try it. Thank you!

[embee]

Stunning! I cannot imagine making such a bun, I have enough hair for *one* slim braid. Unfortunately it would not be as thick as any one of yours. :(

[Nyghtingale]

That is so pretty.

[Arctic_Mama]

Gorgeous, very classy!

[dragonfrog]

What an elegant hairstyle! Thanks for posting the video and pictures, eresh. I didn't know you had a YouTube account... now I have lots of new videos to watch :D Your hair is absolutely stunning, by the way, and your updo looks perfect.

And eadwine, thanks for posting pics! It looks very cute with your length :)

[HisForever]

Wow! That is sooo pretty! I want to try it once my hair is long

[Koala Kim]

Great video and :thud: hair!

[LittleOrca]

I would love to try it, but even with Tailbone length hair I don't think I can. :(

[Friesiangirl]

Wow, I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do that! Amazing.

Hayley

[eadwine]

And eadwine, thanks for posting pics! It looks very cute with your length :)

Thanks!!

I am going to work today with a four braid version today:

Wait and see what and IF people will comment :lol:

[shadowclaw]

What a stunning updo! I agree that it has a very Victorian look to it, or at least a nineteenth century look. It's one of those hairstyles that fills me with awe over the hair's length and style's complex appearance. I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do it like yours! My hair is about as long as that 2nd elastic you used to hold the five braids together.

[eternallyverdan]

Just tried this one and I really like it-- it looks very Victorian and complicated. I did mine with 4 braids at the bottom because I fail at dividing things into fifths. I think I'll do the fan part a bit bigger next time, and leave the bun a bit smaller.

[Teazel]

Squee! I love the rope braid version - off to watch the tutorial! :cheese:

[magicatt]

This is an amazing hairstyle. Thank you so much for the video. I am going to have to give it a try.

[eadwine]

eternallyverdan: that is so pretty!! I love it :)

[gmdiaz]

OOooooOoooh, WOW!

That's beautiful. . .I'll have to try it too! lol

[eresh]

eternallyverdan it looks beautiful!
Thanks for posting your picture!

[lapushka]

OMG, this style is absolutely beautiful. I love it!!!

[Redheaded Raven]

Oh wow I love this style, :D
I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do it

[keight425]

This is gorgeous!! I especially like the rope braids too! :eek:

[eresh]

Thanks :-D

Redheaded Raven, I think your hair is already long enough :)

[Addy]

Squee! I love the rope braid version - off to watch the tutorial! :cheese:


The rope braided one is my favorite too! :D

It's beautiful eresh! I love your hair! So long and gorgeous! :)

[eadwine]

Oh wow I love this style, :D
I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do it

It is long enough.. trust me! -I- can do it even, and I am not even waist yet.

I just tried with only ropes. One thing to keep in mind when you have a shorter fan part is to keep the ropes fairly tightly roped, so don't curl them around each other loosely, that is what I mean. If you do that you will look like you have random spaghetti hanging down there. :lol:

[Rentlle]

ooh, realy beautiful eadwine!!
I wish my hair was that long, so I could do this updo.. it's so nice :)

[eresh]

:):):)
Good to see people like this and are trying it out!

[eresh]

I was thinking....it looks more like a rosette than a fan perhaps

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/6582/rosette.jpg


Would the be a better name?
Or is that already in use as a name for a bun?

[eadwine]

Not a clue.. but it sounds like a better matching name indeed :)

[coppercurls]

That is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us.:D
