for looking!

I saw Lilith Moon's new hair-do tutorial on Facebook a few days ago, and tried it out.
I really like this look, especially the way the braids frame your face
instead of decorate the back of your head LOL~


Here are a few pictures of my attempt:

In Lilith's original, she leaves the braid over one shoulder, but I made mine into a braided bun. My hair is way too long to leave in a braid, plus it gets a little "fuzzy" looking as the day goes on.


Here is a link to the original tutorial if you'd like to see it:

And before I go, something funny I came across the other day...

That looks really good! I always end up with uneven bumps in the back when I try something like this :o Thanks for sharing! I always like looking at your posts on new styles, I'm always learning something new from it

[tinti]

That is beautiful! Your braids looks so full and thick, gosh, I wish mine would look like that!

[DreamDance]

How pretty! I love your butterflies too :)

[bunzfan]

You've done a great job with this style--it's much prettier than Lilith's! Thanks for posting the link for us. :)

Oooh! I like! It zips past "little girl" and accelerates quickly toward "grown up princess".

everybody, for all the views and comments!

[MeganE]

I wish I could subscribe to your threads before you post them. :D Your hair, styles, and pictures are AMAZING.

[Mrspuddinhead]

Beautiful!! I'm jealous of how even your strands in your braids are. I'm learning to braid and I get quite irritated because my strands aren't quite even, not to mention I can't get my parts straight for the life of me. Your hair styles are always an inspiration. Thank you for that!! I tried to thank you on your profile for the comment but for some reason it wouldn't allow me to, so thank you!!

[Qadupae]

Amazing tutorial as always, Arc ^_^ Also wanted to say, I love your little intro texts too. Where did you get those butterfly clips from? They're a nice and simple way to jazz updos ^_^

and thanks so much! I get my hair clips from a local store here on my island~ I have quite a collection, as you've probably noticed!

[emeraldshade]

That is so lovely!

[SpinDance]

arc691, does your local shop have an internet store? I expect lots of folks would enjoy some of their pretty butterfly clips.

Hey~
No, they don't; sorry! I think that they order them from China...a lot (in fact, most) of the girls here have long hair, so they are a hot item! :)

Very nice!

How long did it take you to grow your hair that long?

[skyblue]

Oooh I managed my first Dutch braid... sort of...and I find it so much HARDER than a French braid! However, thanks to this tutorial I actually figured out that to do a Dutch braid you just do it upside down...somehow I thought it was more complex! But my fingers just get soooo confused lol.
