It must be finer than mine or you just have amazing skills. It's probably the latter.

Practice, and making them from shorter hair to the current length, maybe

My first attempt at a Jamie Leigh

@SandyBottom,

beautiful with that TheLoversKnotJewelry Stick.

And an interesting name. In the German Longhaircommunity we call that hairstyle French Pinless.

I love Jamie Leigh buns - tricky to do them at my length!

I heard many excuses for not making a French Twist: unable to do, hair is too short, hair is too long, hair is too thick and hence the French Twist will become too huge, but hair is too thin is the first time I read. It may be another thing if you like your French Twist like that, when your hair is also shorter than BSL.

The problem is the folded up part of the twist pokes out through the wrapping over part - there's not enough hair in the wrapping to cover the rest of the hair. So it's not anything attractive, it's an ugly lump poking out and eventually falling out/throught the wrapping hair. I gave up years ago.

I know that as hair cushion, hair padding and hair bump.

Today I have a Pretzel Bun for you (after the video of Organically Anna)

Thank you! It's interesting how one bun can sometimes have so many different names.

Thanks! I only did my first French Braid about a year or so ago and maybe one or two times since, and that was at MTL. For your length? I can only imagine!

Thank you ETJ! Your comment posted while I was answering the others

While better late than never, that's learning french/dutch braiding the hard way
