I tried something new~ a lattice bun?? *pictures*

[arc691]

Hello again, LHCers!

It seems funny to be posting a new thread so soon after my last one, but I tried something new today and wanted to share. In my opinion, it looks kind of like the trellis/lattice outside my window, so maybe it could be called a lattice bun?

Anyway, here are a few pictures:

I got the idea from Loepsie's YouTube video on Eowyn's hairstyle. First I made the side rope/lace braids, then flipped the bottoms up and pinned them in place with bobby pins (this is one of the first steps on her video). I didn't have time to make two rope braids like she does, because I'm really not very good at rope braids. So I made one 4-strand braid, and looped it up several times until I reached the end of my braid. Everything was held in place with bobby pins, and this look lasted all day! In fact, I'm sitting here with my hair still fixed the same way. It's so cool~ like I have short hair! I love the feel of it, and will definitely try to do it again.

I love the hair tutorials by Loepsie and Lilith Moon. They are so pretty and fun, and such good teachers!


I took a few flower pictures while I had my camera out:

Wimsey got tired of waiting and decided to take a nap in the sun:

Beautiful! Your hair do's are always an inspiration!

[Arya]

You're such a fantastic resource for the extra-long-hairs around here, and inspiration for the rest of us. Great pictures!

[Jessy22284]

Very pretty! And your dog is pretty cute too!

[Moor_tu_lyfe]

Your talent never ceases to amaze me! That bun looks like it is fairly flat and would spread the weight of your amazingly long hair as well! Well done!

[spidermom]

Every time I see your pictures, I want to move to where you are.
That's a pretty hair style.

[Braidmaid]

You are amazing in what you do with your hair! I always enjoy ypur posts. You are like a ray of sunshine! You are a role model in many ways! God bless you!

[MandyBeth]

That's lovely! And I'll show J once she's in from riding her pony.

[dwell_in_safety]

This is very pretty. You've got to be the best person I've seen at styling your own hair.

[lapushka]

Gorgeous updo! :thumbsup:

[Alvrodul]

Gorgeous do, as always! I like 4-strand braids myself. :)
BTW, are your 4-strand braids flat or round?

[Sweetie]

So many beautiful things out there! You and your hair, your garden, your adorable wimsey..... Fantastic!

[Desdesdes]

That is lovely :)

[redwoman]

I so want hair as long as yours. Your styles are always lovely and inspiring. Your little doggie is cute too. Those flowers make me want to come live where you are. Well done.

[vintage88]

Really pretty, your hairstyles are so inspiring :)

[embee]

On envy envy envy! ;) My one braid is about as big around as one of your little side braids. Sigh.

Beautiful bun, just lovely.

[MandyBeth]

J says thank you honorary Aunt Arc! She loves Wimsey, and her dog Pepper even knows what Wimsey's name means. She's thrilled you posted two styles I can manage with her curly hair. Plus, the Chuukense fruit salad is very yummy! I found it like sucking on a sugar cube, but the other 5 here love it.

J was so happy to wear the butterfly clips to court for the adoption. The judge stated how pretty her hair had become which made her week.

[jacqueline101]

I love the bun.

[carolinaberry]

Oh, wow. I'm speechless. Beautiful.

Seconded. You live in paradise and you have gorgeous hair!

[lilbeef]

Wow that is just beautiful! Stunning hair! I can't wait to have enough length to learn braids like this

[Lostsoule77]

Gorgeous as always! It never ceases to amaze me how many different styles you come up with. You are the proof of why I always said I kept long hair (because you can do so much with it.) :D

[KittyBird]

Simply gorgeous! I just love that bun :crush:

[Lindsey999]
