These halfups with flexie look great on you guys!
You should definitely try to get hold of a nice flexi, _fred_! They're pretty and easy to use :o and thank you, and Arctic too, half ups sure are nice-looking, we all should do them more often!
I've been pretty much the same, Corvana, from my young teens I pretty much knew gold didn't go with my skin tone, but I really did think my hair was warm toned for the longest period of time.
Todays braid was just a normal braid down my back, I think I did it worse this time around :silly:

Ever since I've become more relaxed about my hair, I've been wearing it down more - but for work I like halfups, they show the length, my waves and keep my hair off my face. Win-win-win! My favourites are a cinnabun halfup, spock bun halfup, knot bun halfup, and fistail braid halfup.
BTW Estrid, I often braid my dutch/french brain diagonally on purpose, I really like how it looks!
I will try to do a half-up cinnabun when my hair is a bit longer, I've always liked how those look! I don't think I'm capable of doing a pretty one now though, or well, I guess I could try.Quote:

Thank you! I love half-ups heheh. Mostly because it thins my hair out so I can do more thiiiiings. But it's also very pretty!Quote:

That's the best I got, and it's not terrible (finally), but it's not... amazing. I think part of it is that it's wash day so my hair is very clumpy. I will retry with cleaner hair! But I also kept getting confused with the twisting.
corvana Thanks for the heads up about the weight of flexis. I think I might try a small one and see how I get on. I'm not one for heavy things in my hair - I get paranoid about ripping it out by accident.
The small ones are the ones I've got!Quote:

Corvana, rope braids that are not "on" the head are probably really hard to do in a nice-looking way until the hair is quite long, so I think you did a good job! I won't try until my hair is a bit longer than now, I feel that I might need around 20 cm more, at minimum, to do a nice looking rope braid. My layers would probably have to be pretty much gone too, at least if I want to keep them from ruining the braid.
Yeah I figured that'd be the case! But I was happy enough to get them to work for the first time ever lol.Quote:
