Hello everybody!

I know I've posted pictures of a messy bun in the past, but here are pictures of today's. This bun took such an effort to accomplish, I wanted to document it and share it with the world (lol)


So here goes:

**********************

In case you're wondering, I made the little French braid first. Then I put my hair into a low ponytail. After that, I would take a little section of hair, make a small loop, and hold it in place with a bobby pin. Each section of hair made several different loops, because my hair is so long. I think I ended up using at least 50 bobby pins, but my hair stayed in place all day long and didn't hurt at all (amazingly!)

You will have to count the bobby pins when you take them out, just for fun, and let us know how many were actually in there! :D

Seriously amazing!

It looks so delicate and perfect.

You also took the picture in perfect light which really shows off both the wonderful red color and the braid itself.

That little part on the top is SOOO cool!

I wish I could do something similar, but I can't, for 2 reasons: my hair is not as long, and I don't have 50 bobby pins in the house! ;)
