Got my hair braided by a professional hair braider! Pic heavy!

[Long_hair_bear]

Ok so my best friend and I went to the may day fairy festival early this month and there was a professional braider there! Of course, I had to get my hair done! She put a lot more product in it than I would normally allow, but this was a special occasion. I also met our beloved Fencai at the festival.... Great time! Eta: here's the braiders website! http://www.pandoraslocks.com/

[jillosity]

that is just....WOW!!!

[pepperminttea]

Gorgeous! :inlove: I wish professional braiders were a thing here too; all I see is braiders for cornrows and things like that, nothing like this.

[Madora]

Your hair looks lovely. She did a wonderful job.

[Ticky]

It is beautiful! And that shade of purple (of your outfit and the little roses) looks so nice :)

[akilina]

Wow I really love it! Looks great. I also love the purple roses. She did a good job

[Alvrodul]

Gorgeous!
A beautiful style, and wonderfully executed!

[Bunnysaur]

Wow! That's awesome!

[spidermom]

Amazing! So even!

[Amanah]

it's very pretty, very intricate . . . I think I would need to hire a professional unbraider also to undo it, hehe.

[Venefica]

Oh that is just gorgeous, your braids are so beautiful. I like the roses to.

[ladyofrohan]

That is incredibly gorgeous! Don't you wish you could have your hair done like that every day? :)

[Long_hair_bear]

If only I were rich....... :D

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

[BrightEyes]

Come on, then.... I'm organizing a tour! :D

Oh and the first pic (and my avatar pic) were taken last September. My hair is now a tad past bsl. You can't tell in any of the pics. :D

[barely.there]

totally sick! I am in super awe of her uber amazing skills as such a talented hair manipulator! looks fantastic!

[LizTheLyre]

she really had to of planned that whole style out, there is no way that was just made up on the spot, it's too beautiful.

[Long_hair_bear]

She actually had a whole big book of braids with prices and you just chose one out of that! Here's her site:

[Gingerbear]

You look like a medieval princess! So pretty! What kind of product did she put in? I looks sort of wet like gel.

[faellen]

Oh my goodness, how fabulous and perfect that is!

[Long_hair_bear]

I'm 90% certain it was gel. It was time to clariy that month anyway. Lol :p

[door72067]

so pretty!!

[einna]

It looks great. Love the details!

[rosieposie]

Oh my goodness! That is so very beautiful. I wouldn't take it out for a week!! It really suits you, Long hair bear.

[mzBANGBANG]

That is incredibly gorgeous!

[dwell_in_safety]

That's beautiful. She did a fantastic job.

[Long_hair_bear]

Oh my goodness! That is so very beautiful. I wouldn't take it out for a week!! It really suits you, Long hair bear.

Thanks, and I didn't take it out for a week. Lol my hair is used to only being washed once a week anyway. :D

[firegypsy]

I am in awe. That was incredible. I literally picked my jaw up off the floor. She had a lovely canvas though. :)

[Laur]

That's truly lovely. I'm amazed at how even the sectioning is, even with the ever thickening braid - which doesn't even look like it's getting thicker from where she started. Really beautiful hair to start with too ;)

[racrane]

It's beautiful! :)

[GoblinTart]

That is gorgeous!! I Need to learn to braid so maybe I can start doing things like that

[Lostsoule77]

Wow that is spectacular! I really love the whole spiral with rope braids and all! I really need to get to a ren faire and have something like this done!

I love the outfit as well. You must've been stunning! :D

[Shepherdess]

*gasp* :thud: that is just gorgeous! I love the braids!

[Sisgoldenhair65]

WOW.....such a talented braider and some gorgeous hair to braid!!! Perfect and amazing indeed!

[Falcore]

Stunning she did a good job!

[embee]

That is beautiful work! I've never been where such people offer their services.

[AdaClare]

It looks fantastic!!

[letibear]

How pretty! You have beautiful hair :)

[long&blonde]

So pretty!

[PixxieStix]

Super jealous, it's so pretty! I can't wait for the Renaissance Festival this summer, my hair is still pretty short but by golly I want to get it braided this year! Love your costume too.

[Safira]

So beautiful, I wish I could do something like that...

[longhairedlady]

That is so pretty!!!

[Ephemeral]

Absolutely lovely!!

[Zindell]

Beautiful! Did she have the roses that matched your dress in color or did you bring them yourself? How long did it take to do the braiding?
:)

Edit: I see now from her website she seems to use the roses a lot, so I guess she provided them :)

[ArienEllariel]

Lovely hair!

Can you imagine if there were braiding services like this in every mall? Ugh, they'd be so filthy rich from all the business they'd get. Course I'd be broke with gorgeous hair. lol!

[meishkamooshka]

Totally envious! She did an INCREDIBLE job! It really suits you, as does that lovely shade of purple!

:agape: :thud: :thudpile: :bowtome:

[Tisiloves]

So pretty, one day I will work out how to do the nice radiating from the middle crown braid on yourself.

[Haldir]

That's amazing!! I love it! I totally wish we had people like that here! I would get my hair done all the time.

[Charybdis]

Eeeee, such purty braids!! The sectioning is INCREDIBLE. Wow!

[SakuraGirl]

Amazing work, looks beautiful!

[MonicaJean]

OH MY!! @.@ I'm drooling over here over those lovely accent braids! So beautiful.

[KittyBird]

Wow, that's beautiful! And so even! If I ever get married, I want my hair to be in a similar style :D

[Phexlyn]

It's beautiful!! You look stunning in your dress :flower: I wish I could get something like this here in Germany...
Did you get many stray hairs after sleeping on it for a couple of days or did the gel take care of that?

[Long_hair_bear]

Nope, it stayed pretty well, but then again, I was careful and always wear a sleep cap. :D it took about a half hour, for the person that asked how long it took to braid. Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

[SnowWhite]

Lovely! It's beautiful! :D

[Sunny_side_up]

Stunning! :D

[embee]

I wonder... if there were people who did this kind of work at the mall, would more women grow their hair out? Would it become more acceptable for adults to have long hair?

Downside: it wouldn't be so special then, and that's part of the amazing charm.

[Changling]

That is FABULOUS! :heart:

[marzipanthecat]

Just... ooooh!

I want someone to do something pretty like this to my hair now!

(You look fabulous)

[Lucky_Lucy]

Looks so lovely! :D

[jacqueline101]

Wow your braid is super neat.

[Merlin]

Gorgeous! :inlove: I wish professional braiders were a thing here too; all I see is braiders for cornrows and things like that, nothing like this.

Business opportunity!

Especially for people who live within astral projecting distance of Totnes and Glastonbury ....

[miss_rv]

Wow, that pic is amazing!

[JellyBene]

How fun! That is a very nice updo

[Libbylou]

I am awestruck. I even went to her web sight and I see she is coming about an hour away for a Ren festival. I just might take myself to this event.

[Neoma]

OMG, she did a fabulous job! How long did it take for her to do?

You look so pretty in your beautiful dress and fancy braided do. :flower:

[Lissandria]

She did a great job, I love the tiny rope braids, too :)

[Xi]

Beautiful! I especially like the exquisite accent braids. A work of art! :)

[Fencai]

I can attest to how awesome this looked in person. Ive had my hair braided by her at past fests (pic in my photo album) and its awesome.

Also- it was so good to meet you dear! :)
Glad i have a friend who is so close!

[terpentyna]

Oh man, this looks great. I look at their website when I need some inspiration to not be lazy with my braids.

[MrsGuther]

That is a gorgeous hairdo! I love it.

[eresh]

A work of art, and so precise!
How long could you wear it before you had to take it out?

[Long_hair_bear]

Because I have a sleeping cap, a week. :D

[Arciela]

beautiful!! I love the flowers :)

[Dars]

...Stunning!

[Lippytoes]

Wow, that is extremely pretty! I love how the sections all stand out, and the rope braid accents and flowers - gorgeous!

[Eleentje]

I love it! The accent braids, the bun, the top of your head, the roses... lovely!

[Long_hair_bear]

This lady is going to be at the Celtic Fling festival on June 23rd in Manhiem, pa. I'm going and if anyone else would like to go with me, that'd be sweet! :D

[Gumball]

Wow! They did such a great job! Your hair looks beautiful. I love the use of the accent flowers and braids.

[Long_hair_bear]

Wow! They did such a great job! Your hair looks beautiful. I love the use of the accent flowers and braids.

Thank you! I pry won't get it done again at this next festival due to the cost and the fact that my costume is alittle more low cut than I'd like and my long hair will help to hide that. :lol:
