Crown Twist? ♥pics♥

[misspurdy06]

It's actually very comfortable. Less fuss than a crown braid which is super. I took lots o' pics.

Kind of weird from the side though. It accentuates the fact the the back of my head is flat. (makes wearing elastic headbands impossible)

Very pretty! Yes, they certainly are a lot easier to do than regular crown braids!

[whitedove]

I wonder how many you could fool on April 1st sayig you had it all chopped off :D
Looks really comfortable, might try it to sleep in :D

[Sewas]

Very nice and a cool hairstyle for the summer. Thank you.

[vintage88]

Looks lovely :)

[Sunshineliz]

That looks really pretty and is a very flattering hairstyle on you! (Another hairdo I need to learn)

[Juanita]

Very pretty

[thelambscottage]

That's really Beautiful!

[newbeginning]

Looks pretty.

[BrightEyes]

Very pretty, it looks really good on you:)

[lapushka]

And I'm here wondering how you did that. :) Very nice!

For some odd reason I can't do the twist version... but the regular crown is all good. I'm jealous!

PS: Gorgeous.. GORGEOUS. Its quite a flattering 'do.

Thanks Madora! :)

[PixxieStix]

My first attempt at this was not so good, will have to give it another try! Yours looks amazing.

I learned how to do it via this vid. Mine usually comes out well. :D

back of my head is flat. (makes wearing elastic headbands impossible)

I have this exact same problem! I keep trying to get the headband curling method to work, but the stupid elastic band just slides right off the back of my head!

[MaryRose]

you are very pretty and the hairstyle flatters you. I love your hair and hair color. Thank you for sharing.

[jacqueline101]

I like that hair style on you. Its very pretty by the way.

[Amarante]

Very beautiful! I don't think your head looks flat btw, mine looks the same. :p

[Venefica]

That is a beautiful and very classy updo, it makes you look like a noble woman from a time long past.

[annamoonfairy]

That is very nice : )

[Safira]

So pretty, hairstyle and you. I´ll give this a try.

[ladyfitzgerald]

Exactly my thought!

This is how my hair looks when I put it up in a head band to curl it, or sometimes just wear my hair up. I like it it looks like a greek crown of laurels! :)

[RapunzelKat]

Such a pretty style, I love it! :D It looks so nice on you, too! :thumbsup: I'm wondering if I can adapt this style for my length... I'm not sure what I'd do with all the extra braid after I was done with the crown. :hmm: Were you able to just tuck yours in?

[Caitpenn]

So that's how they did Cptn Janeway's hair in some episodes (star trek voyager)! Lovely!

[hyettf16]

I think I tried this once but it just fell out because of my layers...

Yes I tuck my ends in. It helps it all look somewhat even thickness.

[Chetanlaiho]

Looks great! May I ask where you got the instructions how to do to it? ^^;

Edit: nevermind, found it ;)

Mine's a tad messy, but this was my first attempt. :)

[UP Lisa]

Unfortunately I don't have enough hair in the front and on the sides to do this.:mad:

You can twist the hair further back. It just won't be at the hairline that's all.

[spidermom]

Oh hooray! It's nice to see that style on somebody besides myself. I've often found it a really good way to deal with oily hair.

Thanks! :D I am definitely going to give this one a try!

[3azza]

Very lovely and fancy. Thanks for sharing. it looks great on you.

[Patty lou]

It reminds me of a style from the 40's similar to a roll hairstyle or a Gibsonroll.
very pretty on you, plus you are very pretty

That's beautiful. My hair is too fine to hold a twist so if I tried it, I would probably have to pin it as I went for it to hold properly. Even simple side twists wind up partially untwisted and down over my ears unless I pin them.

[Madora]

UP Lisa, you might be able to do it if you use a different approach..i.e. doing it in the upside down position. That's what I do..all hair in front of me, like a curtain, thoroughly detangled. Then I start at the front of the right ear and work across the front of the head (twisting the strands about half an inch from the front hairline) until I reach the left ear.

Then I stand erect, change hand positions, and continue twisting the strands around the back of the head and down to the very ends. I tuck in the tassle under the twisted crown.

This does take a while to master...but it works beautifully.

[UP Lisa]

Thank you, Madora. I will try that.

What a lovely style. It looks very old fashioned and classic. Thank you for sharing!

[lacefrost]

I like this a lot on you. You look very classically pretty.

[B-L]

Wow! That's so pretty! :inlove:

[haibane]

Oh wow, that is just gorgeous.

[einna]

Looks very nice. I might try this.

[ludwig20]

It looks wonderful. I really like how comfortable but elegant it looks. I need to start practicing.

[melusine963]

I might have to steal that idea. :) There's no way I can do an actual crown braid, but this might just work for me.

[Sagi1982]

Oh, that looks nice and comfy. Thank you for sharing!

[StubbornLocks]

It looks very good on you and really suits your face!
