First Bun Waves!!!! ❁❁❁Pics❁❁❁

[PixxieStix]

You guys, I got my first bun waves ever today! I was FINALLY able to (with weeks of practice and juuuuust long enough hair) to do a rolled sock bun, so I did this hairstyle today:

and ended up with these curls when I took it down:

I am soooooooo excited! I wasn't looking to make curls, but now that I know I can do the rolled sock bun and get this, I feel some experiments in the near future. Just imagine what they would look like if had actually done a decent job with rolling up my hair in a bun! (The one today was pretty messy) Please excuse the bi-colored roots, I decided to just henna over my natural color, so the ends are brighter red (because I bleached underneath), my hennaed natural color has been turning out a dark auburn (I have naturally medium auburn hair), so I'll be doing my next root touch up leaving it on for an hour instead of 4 to see if I can't get it a bit lighter. Thanks for stopping by everyone! :flower:

Very nice! Your color looks good too, much like natural demarcation/highlights. :)

[christiner]

[Kayla Nyx]

awesome!! You are so very pretty, and I like how you braided in back!

[dulce]

Love the braid in the back and LOVE your birdie!!

[EmilyOtter]

Oo! I have to try that braid up the back! Pretty!

[skaempfer]

Oh, wow! Did you get that parakeet hair slide on etsy? :D


I also love the little braid detail. Gogeous waves!:cheese:

[lunalocks]

Beautiful! Bun waves are fun and your hair is lovely.

[Quixii]

I love both the updo and the curls/waves! How fun! :D

[coastalnicole]

Those look so lovely! I love the braid up the back, too.

[Debra83]

Very nice!!! Good going!!! And, I love your little friend!

[AlabasterAlice]

I love that bun! I wish I could do it but I keep forgetting to try it on a day where my hair is a little more oily (I can forget trying to do jack with freshly washed hair.) And I must say the waves are adorable!

Eeeek! Birdy! :D My DBF had (I say had, because his soon to be ex wife took the bird :( ) a bird of the exact same type as the one you have on your head. I liked that little fellow. He and I would snuggle. :)

[RapunzelKat]

Wow, that looks great! The original style and the waves are both lovely :D

Your bird is such a cutie! :D

[cwarren]

Ooooh! I know this is about the bun waves (which are adorable btw), but that updo is absolutely gorgeous!

[Littlewing13]

Your hair looks exactly like mine. Hair twins! I've just hennaed over blonder ends & darker roots too. The more you do the more even it gets too. Also similar length I think. The updo looks so pretty! cant wait to try it myself. thanks for sharing :)

[fridgee]

I love that updo, so pretty! I've only tried doing an upside down plait once and it wasn't pretty! But I'm going to have to try it again now :D Love the volume from the bun waves too!

[dementedkitten]

Beautiful! And the one with the bird is adorable :)

[Floryda]

Chiming in to say that I'm very impressed with the braid up to your bun! How did you manage that?

Your hair looks super soft and bouncy :)

[Caringformyhair]

Your sock bun is awesome, you've totally inspired me to give one a go. Bring on the weeks of practice, I am terrible at updos :p

[Bedhead]

Ha ha ha! You look soooooo happy! Lookin' good, and LOVE both do's!

[MasCat]

Hey there parrot :) you've got quite a beautiful human there :) And you did her hair! How nice of you :)))

It turned out gorgeous, you should do it more often :)

[PixxieStix]

Oh wow, thanks everyone! It means so much to me to have people who understand my excitement, my "real life" friends and family just don't get it.

My little bird by the way is Symba, a little green cheek conure my fiance and I got on clearance from a breeder because nobody wanted her! I had been wanting a bird for years but had been doing my research (most birds end up with about 11 different homes in their lifetime because people don't know what they are getting into when they have one, so I made sure I knew what species matched my "list", and that I could provide a forever home before I searched for months for a perfect companion, but yeah, I knew all she needed was some love (nobody wanted her because she was "unfriendly and bit people"), and she sings and dances with me, snuggles with me every day, we play games and go for "walks" outside, and we will have her for about 25 years. :) *end thread detrailment*) She loves my hair though, she likes to snuggle in it and sit on my head and preen my hair, and she likes having her picture taken so, well, you saw!

But yeah, I was SOOOO excited about my waves/curls! I can't wait to try this weekend to do them again and make them look pretty (aka, do it intentionally for curls and see what happens.)

For anyone interested in how I did the brain with the sock bun, I found this YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtmwZ2-6uO4) with an amazing tutorial, you should check it out! It's pretty easy to do and I like how it looks, it'll definitely be a "go to" hair style until my hair gets too long.
