OK, its just a variation on an old bun, but I like how it came out. I think I'll call it the ring of fire, since my hair is particularly red right now. :D What do you guys think? Its a little blurry, but its hard to take a decent picture of the back of your own head!

Very pretty! It looks like you started with a basic french braid but I have no idea where you went from there. Do you have any instructions?

Very pretty! I like both braided and non-braided effect in one convenient bun.

I french braided all my hair, then took the braid and did a nautilus bun, tucking the end and grabbing a big hunk of scalp hair for the center portion of the bun. Its easy as pie and very secure with just one hairstick.

I have no idea why photos won't post anymore. They used to post inline just fine with the handy dandy included tool here, and now that doesn't seem to work. It just posts nothing and even the link isn't there. Fortunately the hotlink tool still works.:(

It looks great, and I'll say again that I love your streaks of purple. If I thought my work would go for it, I'd be sorely tempted to get some.

It does look like a ring of fire! :D Gorgeous!

Your hair colour is beautifully rich - is it just henna, and if so, which strain? I really want to enliven my colour which has become more of a mousy red, if that is possible!

Its henna atop my fading auburn natural hair. As I've aged, my hair has gone from auburn to a browner mousier shade, so I pop henna atop it to bring back its original vibrancy. This is no specific strain though, its just the henna I get in a plastic baggie at my local middle eastern grocery store. I can pick you up some if you like...I think its around $$3.50 for a large bag. Its pretty consistent in colour.
