My first-ever hairstick style!

[teal]

...and it's all thanks to you lovely ladies and gents! :disco:

Without LHC I wouldn't have learned so much and in such a short period of time about my hair and how to treat it right. I would have kept on neglecting it and probably would have cut it short by now if it weren't for you. So... here's to you! Thank you for being awesome! :toast:

Now... the hairstyle! I was going to wait for the fix to album uploads to be completed but I ran out of patience. So here we are.

Thanks to Madora, I've discovered how easy it is to put my hair into a Chinese braided bun! Observe my very first attempt:

Not too shabby, eh? Here's the link to the video on how to do it:

This is parent-of-young-kids approved - that is to say, quick, easy and effective! (Well, almost... "Mommy, that's my chopstick! Can I have my chopstick?" D'oh! :p)

Very nice! It looks really pretty.

[greentealeaf]

Looks great! If that's your first try, I can only imagine what's to come! :p

[LalahRose]

Beautiful! What a gloriously rich, shiny color - really looks smashing in a braid!

[Slinks]

:-) looks really good .. it was one of the first I learned to do too, I love the look and use it often in half ups too .. congrats !!

[annieangel149]

:thud:awww that looks so good! I love the braided chinese bun and thats the first one im going to try on my hair when it gets long enough! your hair is so shiny :D

[dRummie]

What a coincidence, I just tried this bun from the same video this morning! I don't have enough length for it yet, but yours looks really great! :)

[teal]

Thank you all for the lovely compliments! :flower:

The hair colour is natural. I have to say I've really come to like it. Not that I ever hated it but I used to think it was rather bland. It's certainly quite dark for my skin tone. Or maybe it's my skin that's rather pale. I don't know.

The shine has become super-shine since I started using oils on my hair. (Details on that in my profile if you're interested.) The BBB may also be playing a role, though I only brush with it about once a week. More wonderful benefits gleaned from the omnipresent knowedge of the LHC collective!! :cheese: I tells ya, you guys are the bestest! The search function on this forum is like Father Christmas... bringing me presents whenever I ask! :D

Very pretty! Let me know if you figure out how to avoid poking the little ones with the stick.

[embee]

Very nice updo! Looks good, looks complex and difficult. How nice that appearances can be deceiving, right? :D

[Kindredraeven]

I love this bun, I used to do it all the time for my mom. It's easy and looks awesome!!!

[Airmide]

Wow, that's your first try? It looks awesome! It makes your hair look super long too.

[wooliswonderful]

Very Pretty! I love braids in updos. :)

[Toiréasa]

Ooh I love it you did a great job, I though it looked complicated but after watching the video I think I might be able to do this hopeful I have enough length thanks for sharing.

[archel]

AHHH this is GORGEOUS! So jealous that you have the length to do it! :-D
