I have always been useless at styling my hair, up untill now all I have been able to manage is a simple bun or English braid. I saw this style somewhere on this forum & as I was laying in bed last night I was figuring out how to do it in my head ( you all do this too, right? Tell me I'm not weird!! ) So anyways, this is my first ever attempt, I have no idea what it's called & I know it's a bit wonky & messy! What do you think?http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss241/sarelis_photos/DSCF1983.jpg

woo-hoo! Congratulations! :D Not really sure what it is, braided lazy wrap or chinese bun maybe? Either way though, it's darn pretty! :cheese: Hooray updos! And I think it look perfect. :D

My first thought was a Chinese bun too, but I can't quite tell. Very pretty, whatever the case!

Thank you! I just made a ponytail, split it in two & made two braids, then inserted the hair sticks horizontally & sorta wound the braids round the sticks in a figure of 8. I can't tell you how pleased I am with myself lol now I've done this I'm going to learn a load more! **Off to waste the whole afternoon watching tutorials** :D

Congrats it looks lovely!

The day before yesterday I received my first 2 hair sticks from my DS, so I looked online for an easy updo tutorial and here is the outcome: my first nautilus bun!

Sorry for the bad quality:

Congrats Sarelis! It looks great! :thumbsup: I am also somewhat useless at updos, but I am trying to get better :p I always have to watch tutorials, I can never figure them out myself. Have fun exploring YouTube! :D

Sadie, yours looks great too! I just love your hairstick :D

Great job! I have trouble doing updo's, too. That can be tricky with clumsy fingers, for me at least. But yay! Yours is very pretty! :)

It looks good, but I don't know what it's called.

Lookin' good. It turns out that when hair won't go into a secure updo, a good starter kit it is to bun a braid because the hair is a bit thicker, and tends to stay put easier.
