Warrior Braid!

[Dreams_in_Pink]

I was browsing the net for medium length hairstyles and came across this:

Not a medium length hairstyle, but i think it looks really cool :D According to the info:
The braids were created by sectioning the hair in small areas from ear to ear across the crown. The hair was then wrapped in the thread and the hair that was left at the end of the thread column was then braided.

The ends of each braided section was connected to each other to form a long braided column at the top of the wrapped sections. The wrapped braids were started at the very front of the crown and ended at the nape of the neck. Leftover hair at the nape of the neck was braided and looped.

What do you think?

That OWNS, even the war paint! It reminds me of a plume on a Centurion helmet! You now I'm gonna have to try this one out, the next time I mow the yard wit the chariot! :rockerdud The war paint is a must as well! ;)

[myrrhmaiden]

That is sooooo cool. Now..where to wear it...

[Dreams_in_Pink]

oh my, if you succeed at it, post some photos and pm me!!! :D i'd have tried it already if my hair was a tad longer and ends were fuller :(

ETA: myrrhmaiden, you always post a second before me :D i think it could be worn together with a white long dress and golden jewelry to a special event, or costume party! or a photoshoot :D

I think it's obvious -- next time I go out to a club with friends, to avoid unwanted attention. "Do you really want to risk annoying me?"

[rach]

te he he, makes me want to try it now.
that is brilliant :D

[Zaane]

omg....the pain that poor girl must be in...look how tight its tied D:!!!

[Ravenwaves 88]

I bet if you did it a bit loose it wouldn't be bad. It's a neat way for long hairs to have a mohawk! SO neat!

hmm, i wonder if it could stay up when not tied tight enough :confused:

Maybe you can wrap it with some sticks to keep it up. LOL idk?

[spidermom]

Oh wow! One of these days, I might have to give that one a go.

[Beets]

I'm trying to imagine that on an actual warrior, like, in battle, and all I keep seeing is enemies having plenty of handles to choose from when grabbing her head to drag her down!

[camirra555]

That braid is so cool and funky! If anyone tries it pictures are a must!

[DanielleRenae]

Yes! I have finally found what I'm doing for prom!


*sarcasm*


It is really cool, though.

Yup. We think like warriors don't we?

However, I wouldn't fancy getting close enough to grab hold! I'm not too keen to try this out myself though.

[JenniferNoel]

Too cool!

I wish I could try it. My shorter strands in front would fudge it up. Unless I left them down... hmmm... :run:

[AstrayStar]

That is so impressive! Love it!

[Thinthondiel]

This is just my personal opinion, but I think it would look even cooler with the end of the braid loose rather than looped like that... it would look kinda whip-like.

It would have to be for ceremonial warrior display only.

[DakarNick]

I've seen that before. I'll ask my Kari and see if she'll let me try it on her. What to use for thread? Hmmm...

I did Kari's hair in a similar fashion, but in upside down French braids. I'll do it again and continue it to make it look like the warrior.

She said it made her look like an alien...

[Dreams_in_Pink]

looking awesome so far!!

[spidermom]

I think you will need cord instead of thread.

[klcqtee]

Hm. I think next time I want to go to a rock concert, I'm going to do this! Or...maybe the next time I go to a school concert, since I don't get out much, haha. I'll be sure to post pictures!

[sft88]

Oh, how cool. Now I want to try it on my little brother!

[redneckprincess]

awesome, looks fairly easy to do, but yeah where do you wear it?

[Bunnyhare]

I think it's obvious -- next time I go out to a club with friends, to avoid unwanted attention. "Do you really want to risk annoying me?"

That is a moment i would love to be the proverbial fly on the wall for! will you carry a dwarf axe or bow and quiver as well? New "clubbing" attire..:cheese:

[RavennaNight]

This looks like a hair-friendlier way of doing a mowhawk. I couldn't pull it off, but I am sure the folks who can will look :rockerdud: in it. :thumbsup:

Don't fprget to take pics to prove it - or it didn't happen :p

Probably. She won't go out of the house with most of the styles I give her, haha.

Yeah, you're correct!

I've always been partial to twin blades.:silly:

[Aer]

I think I'll sport this next time I see my in-laws.

[Fiferstone]

I think that the thread/cord-wrapped ends would be very labor intensive to do. I know I'm too klutzy to manage it on my own (I'd need someone to do it for me) but I think for a rock concert, with the ends loose, rather than braided in together, it would be epic, especially if you are a head-banger. Think of it, head-bang to your heart's content with minimal/no knots/tangles to contend with afterward :rockerdud: :taz:

[cmnt831]

Awesome! I bet if I tried this my parents would actually love it - my hair, under control....:p. It is very cool, though.

[Arriens]

"Do you really want to risk annoying me?"
Actually, the hairstyle alone would be enough for me to warrant an attempt to small talk.

[yellowchariot]

DakarNick, that rocks! Awesome mini braids, then braided into one big one! Awesome creativity!

@[B]myrrhmaiden, you wear it outdoors carrying a spear or a rifel! :D honestly it would be great for hiking/trail blazing. I know mowing would be excellent lol.

@Madame J, I bet a lot of people would actually come up to you and ask how you did that, or compliment you! :)

[Madame J]

Thanks guys. It sounds like you're more creative than the guys in my area. I am kind of tempted to try it, though...

[Keildra]

hey this girl pulled it off but she doesn't explain how she did it

[BritishBraider]

wow, I have got to try this!

Pics to follow :)

[JamieLeigh]

That is so awesome!! I imagine I'd have trouble looping and braiding in the final section, though. I tried that with a French braid once and it kept unraveling. :(

Thanks for sharing!!! The war paint kills. :D

[longhairedleah]

I know this thread is 2 years old, but I just saw it.

AMAZING. I wish the Sens (Hockey team, check out their logo) were still in the playoffs... this would be ridiculously perfect for a game!!! Next year hopefully!!

[Jessibear2854]

omg....the pain that poor girl must be in...look how tight its tied D:!!!

My thoughts exactly! It looks so painful.

[Fencai]

ooooooooooooooo this gives me ideas for costume stuff for my festival

[sarelis]

That's awesome! :)

[CaityBear]

That is so cool! I would totally want to do that on somebody for a photoshoot. :)
