I was at the hairdresser today for my yearly trim, when we where done she asked me if she could braid my hair and play with it as she had never braided hair this long, yes there is not that many long haired folks here in my home town of Jevnaker. Anyway my hairdresser also made a bun with the braid and it turned out really pretty, here is the result. And yes the roots are showing they will be dyed black again soon enough.

Very pretty. You are a very lucky girl to have a stylist who appreciates your long hair.

Thank you all for your kind compliments I appreciate it. :D I have a very nice hairdresser, she is careful with my hair, she never trim more than I say and is very good at what she do, and she is long hair friendly even if she herself have short hair.

Very lovely, Venefica. But I wish your hairdresser could have hidden the elastic under the braid for a more finished appearance.

Yeah you are probably right about that, however I can not complain, I do not always manage to hide the elastic either. :D

Venefica, you look fabulous! Can I ask you what usable length is your stick? I recently bought a LadyIdun Lantern topper. Here is the specification of my stick:

Topper length: 1 5/8"
Usable length: 5 3/8"
Total length: 7+"
Diameter size at largest area: 3/4"

I'm just afraid if this matches your stick size that you are wearing, then this stick might be too big for me! Even if it is at least it will be a motivator for me to grow my hair long until I can fill up the stick like you.

ETA: I don't think I would ever put my very first LadyIdun stick on the swap board now that I don't know when they will open their shop again.

I heard that Lady Idun closed down their shop, that is a shame they make such beautiful hairsticks. I hope they will open it up again eventually.

This is the measurements of the hairstick.

Topper length: 1 3/4"
Usable length: 5 1/2"
Total length: 7 1/4"
Diameter size at largest area: 5/8+"

Ahhhh it's very similar to yours! LOL But I'm sure I can find cute styles to wear this piece at my APL length hair. I'll probably end up doing a less tight cinnabun or lazywrap. Good thing I have thick hair to compensate for length. I haven't recieved my stick yet as she said that it should arrive Tuesday. Do you find that her lantern toppers feel heavy?

Venefica
May 26th, 2012, 08:08 AM
I am sure your lantern will look gorgeous in your hair. I have two lanterns and I do not think they are heavy at all. They are a bit more heavy than plain acrylic hairsticks, but they are not to heavy and I think they are quite comfortable to wear.

Nice bun! I try to hide my elastic, but it doesn't stay hidden.

Maybe a new dresser is in order? You don't need to keep facing temptation to go off the wagon.


Yeah you are probably right about that, however I can not complain, I do not always manage to hide the elastic either. :D

You're probably, by now, a somewhat more advanced hair bun maker and it is wholly possible to make a bun as she did without any tie off or elastic. Try it and surprise yourself. I make all my buns without tieoffs at the beginning or end. I just wrap, twist, tuck, fold....and no tie off at top or bottom is necessary.

Venefica- Your hair and your color are gorgefabulous! (I totally just made that word up but seriously your hair is so pretty one word to describe how awesome it is, was not cutting it!) I am jealous and envious but appreciate all the work you had to have done over the years to get, keep and maintain such beautiful hair! :heart:

Wow Venefica, what a beautiful bun! Your hair dresser did a very nice job!

How much do you trim off during your annual visit to the hair dresser?

Thank you for the advice. You are probably more skilled than me for I can not get a braided bun to stay put without a hair tie. I however usually at least try to hide the hair tie when I put up my hair. That being said my hair have a will of it's own so if you had been here in Norway and you had been able to get a braid bun to stay but with nothing but a stick in my hair I would be very impressed and I would bake you a batch of cookies. :D

Than you for your kind words. I trim off about half an inch to an inch. I think it was half and inch this time.

Thank you all for your compliments, you are so kind. Yes I did feel like a princess when I had that bun in. Also my hairdresser is very good. I always wait with having my hair done until I go visit my mother so I can use this hair saloon, they are both cheap and good. I have one other shop near where I live where they are also very good with long hair but this hairdresser which I went to today have done my hair since I was a little girl so I know her well. My mother uses her to.

So pretty! It's nice to hear a good hairdresser story for a change, rather than one where somebody went to the hairdresser and ended up with a disaster.

Thank you for your compliments and kind words you are most kind. I like the hairdresser I use for she is skilled and she value people's opinions, she might suggest but she will do exactly what she is asked to do with your hair and not more or less. She is also very nice.
