My first ever.....

[little_acorn]

rose bun :cheese:

Its the first time I've managed to do one, so I'm inflicting it on you :p - you'll have to excuse the purple hair elastic as I was only practising

That's a very pretty rose bun, little_acorn. Well done! Practice makes perfect!

Cute bun and the purple through it adds a splash of colour. It looks great.

Thanks guys - it was really easy once I finally got the hang of rope braids (thank you Torrin)!!

Patience thank you for posting that link for me :D

Eric thank you - its one of a pair of 'primitive' sticks that Ravenscroft sent me free with my moon :D

[LittleOrca]

It looks so cute! Better than my attempts at it. Sometimes I think I am hair illiterate :silly:

[pradabacon]

Awww...it looks lovely, little_acorn. :heart:

[Kiraela]

That is a cute rosebun! I like the purple elastic, it gives it even more visual interest.

[Amara]

Ahhh that hairstick is AWESOME!

Your bun is super cute. Congrats!

[Yozhik]

Nice :)

I'm *jealous* . . . can't wait for my hair to grow long enough to do the fun stuff

[serious]

Very pretty!
And it looks that the elastic is there on purpose, to add some color and contrast...lovely!

[Dachsdragon]

[Chrissy]

[Rosalind]

So that's what that bun is called!

[GoddesJourney]

I love the hair stick. It looks so natural and cute.

[little_acorn]

Thanks everyone :flower:

[vdhendrix]

i think it looks great, much better then anything i can do and purple is my fav color

[Yayasmurf]

I just love "First" especially since I'm pretty new here. It makes me feel not so alone on my new journey.

I think you done a wonderful job. Now I may have to try this one :)

I'm inspired :D

[Flynn]

Whee! I did my first rose bun today, too! Held with bun pins, though; I'm not so much of a stick person.

[ravenreed]

Actually, I like the purple peeking out there. Sometimes I will braid a ribbon in my hair and bun it, and it looks a little like that.

[jojo]

Chrissie I love your new siggi and avatar, your hair looks so much longer and looks so healthy, well done you!

and little_acorn I really love that rose bun, so much so I am going to have a go at that tomorrow!

[little_acorn]

Yipeee I'm so glad I've inspired people to have a go at the rosebun. I thought it was beyond my updo skills but turned out to be easy. Don't forget to post pics if you try it :D

Flynn I almost always use sticks so it was natural when I was just practicing to pick one up LOL - I am a creature of habit

[Bunnyhare]

Your rose bun is so beautiful! Congrats..and the little stick is so cute too! Ravenscroft is awesome!
