I invented an updo!

[Svenja]

:cheese: I was playing with hairstyles the other day and invented an updo :D

I try to give you instructions. Bare with me, when they are not very clear. Please ask, if anything is unclear!

1. Make an half-up and fix both strains with a mini clip each.

2. Take the rest of your hair and make a ponytail. I used a strain of my own hair instead of a bubble and fixed it under the ponytail with a bobbypin.

3. Divide the ponytail into two strains.

4. Twist each strain. Lead each strain upwards to create a little slope and fix it each with anoter clip. It should look like a bretzel :D

Done.

Here are the results:

It looks awesome! I'll have to try this. :grin:

[Svenja]

Thank you!
I wonder if i give it a name or not... or would that be too "pad your own shoulder"??

:D

[SpeakingEZ]

Ooh, that's pretty. I'll try that next time I have somewhere to go that's not the supermarket.

[kelly-j]

That updo looks really pretty!

[Hana]

looks like the full head version of what claire danes has in romeo and juliet!
i prefer your version though.

you can see it here!

[Svenja]

Oh indeed! Thanks! I have never seen the film - but if they have nice updos in there, I must watch it soon.

[Bethie]

That is lovely, I must try it someday when my hair is longer

[Svenja]

I think I call it Butterfly Bun (suggestion made by a user on a different forum). What do you think?

[growing2shine]

I like your creation! Butterfly bun is a great name :D

[plainjanegirl]

Looks nice ! If you take step by step pics or a video it might help people like me.

[princessp]

I like it, and I also like the name butterfly bun. Very cool.

Hahaha, it would help me too!

[little_cherry]

Butterfly bun is fantastic! :D I really like it!
Thank you for sharing!

[serious]

Very pretty!

I would like step by step pictures, too :o

[Svenja]

I will do a step-by-step instruction as soon as I can!

[Svenja]

Here is a step-by-step instruction. Excuse the state of my hair, it was before washing day!

7. Repeat step 6 with the other side.

Of course it looks so much nicer with freshly washed hair, so my apologies for that!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

Love it! Do you happen to have a video? Im having a hard time figuring out how to do this with almost hip hair. Anyoen have tips?

[Svenja]

Thank you!

No sorry I do not have a video. Don't the photos help a bit? I had hoped they might :(

When your hair is so long I suggest creating little cinnamon buns on each side and fix them to your head with bobby pins.

Oh the pictures absolutly help for the first part i just wasnt sure what to do with the cinnabuns now i know :) thank you!

[Fairlight63]

Thank you for the pictures they really help a lot. I was unclear about how to make the pony tail & it cleared it all up for me.

[Beets]

How lovely! Thanks for the step-by-step pictures. Those helped a lot. Have you put it in the articles section yet? I bet this would be a popular style for people searching for something new and romantic!

[wilddaisies]

Very pretty!! The butterfly bun is a perfect name for it! :)

[Beets]

OK, so I tried it! Here's how it went. I'm not a huge fan of clips, so I tried it with barrettes and plain pins.

I like it, though I think I'd have to work on the cinnabuns a bit to get them to swirl more elegantly. These are a little wonky. But overall, I could see it dressing up nicely.

[kittylover]

This looks so cute. I have to try this. Thanks for posting.

[serious]

Thank you for the step by step instructions,Svenja, I'm going to try it tonight!

Beets, it's beautiful!

I will try to get it into the article section. Thank you for the advice! I am not sure yet how it's done, but I'll figure it out :o
