This updo looks extremely complicated, but it should be a cinch for anyone who crochets. It's simply three slipknots. I have baby fine hair that is almost tailbone length. If your hair is thicker, you may need longer hair.

1. Start by following the step-by-step instructions for the Neoma Knot (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=152). Once you have completed the second loop, simply make another slip knot. At that point, you will have a chain of three slip knots.
2. Wrap any remaining hair around the chain.
3. While holding the chain securely, with a finger in the top and the bottom chains, reposition the chain so it is on a diagonal, with the last chain on top. (Is that as clear as mud?)
4. Insert a hairstick through the top hole in the chain, pick up some scalp hairs under the bun and bring the point of the hairstick out through the bottom (first) hole in the chain.

Voila! You're done!

It's kind off hard to see in your pictures (my monitor makes everything very dark) but I think it's very similar to a bun I do. I call it the chain bun (http://www.network54.com/Forum/242462/thread/1198934082/chain+bun). Do you think it's the same or just similar?

Yes, that was what I thought.

I can't actually do this style yet (ever?) because at TB+ I can only do one chain...:o

But it looks great in your phootos!

Thank you for letting me know that this bun already existed under a different name. :flower: Yes, indeed -- it looks like the chain bun is the same as the one that I thought that I invented. :o

I took those pics on my cell phone, so the quality isn't too great. It really is a great looking bun. I'm looking forward to seeing other people's pics of it in action, even though I'm not the inventor. :D

I might be able to do more than one chain if i pressed my hair straight, but yeah, i can only get one chain too. But it's a *super* bun!

Darn thick hair. I know I don't have enough length for that yet.
