A new 'do (did I invent it? a braid-bundle? maybe not :)

[arc691]

Hello all,

Here are a few pictures of my look for today...no planning ahead, it just kind of happened. :) I thought it turned out rather interesting, and not heavy at all, which is nice! ;) Too bad my clip is missing a few stones...

wow, that is absoloutely gorgeous!

[Avvoltoio]

for me it is new, i never have seen that updo, but i don't know many of them, and i not use any of them yet.
btw your hair is amazing, beautiful updo, i love it :)

[rosek]

That gorgeous! Was it stable? Did it stay up very well?

[arc691]

Thanks, everybody! :)
@rosek,
Yes, it stayed up great! I had my hair divided into two ponytails, so the clip is actually anchored to the top ponytail which takes all the weight off.

[Timkerbelle]

That looks really lovely! Your hair colour is gorgeous

[kattygf]

I have never seen it before, but it is nice!

[Bytebak]

That is quite amazing and unique - congratulations

[daemonwildcat]

That is incredibly beautiful!
May I inquire as to how you did it? Not that I have nearly enough hair, but I am curious :)

[spidermom]

I like it! I've attempted something similar, but my clip wasn't big enough to hold it.

[arc691]

Thank you, everybody! :)

@daemonwildcat,
I'm not very good when it comes to explaining, but I'll give it a go:
First I divided my hair into two ponytails, then I divided my hair in the top ponytail into three braids, and my hair in the bottom ponytail into two braids. I fastened the ends of the braids w/ ponytail holders (elastics), then held all the ends together with one hand, and folded them upwards. You could stop right there and go ahead w/ your octopus clip, but my hair is so long I folded them again, downwards this time and tucked the ends underneath - then I used the octopus clip. The clip holds all the braids in place, and is anchored to the top ponytail holder.

I hope this makes sense! :o

[sahiba]

I"ll let u know tomorrow after trying it :) Its a very interesting looking style :) Loved it

[arc691]

Thank you, I hope it works for you! :)

[utdesertrunner]

That is simply jaw dropping beautiful! Wow!

[C. sinensis]

Oh, wow! That's amazing! :agape:

I could probably do the single-folded version...hmm... :ponder:

[Adiva]

Very very nice!! I've never seen anything like it before but I'm keen to try it myself.

[MissManda]

You are very talented with updos! I love this style and I love how your hair clip goes with your necklace. :)

[BlackfootHair]

That is really really pretty! You have some massive hair! :)

It's beautiful!

[arc691]

Thanks, girls! You are so kind. :o If you decide to give it a try, let's see, please! Maybe you'll have a new way or different idea the rest of us could try...:)

Here's a few pics I posted in another thread that gave me the basic idea for two ponytails, one above the other.

Yes, do you recall where you got the big clip? I've never seen one that size, and am quite jealous! :D Thanks for sharing the lovely photos!

[Pixna]

WHOA!!!!! That is GORGEOUS!!!!! :thud:

[arc691]

Thank you! I get all my clips here on my island. I live in Chuuk, Micronesia, and there is a little store here that orders clips of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Here is definitely the best place to buy clips, better even than Australia or America~ which is so funny!! This tiny little island!!

[meishkamooshka]

Absolutely beautiful hair! I'm going to attempt to do this style if I can find one of those clips, and I'll send you a picture of my result! CAN'T WAIT! :D

[Alvrodul]

That updo is utterly stunning! :thudpile:

[arc691]

Thank you @ meishkamooshka & Alvrodul :) Yes, please post pictures when you can! That would be so neat!

Happy New Year!

[PrincessTieflin]

O.o Very pretty :D
