I have some fake hair flowers...I just need to remember to wear them (and other hair adornments) more often. I keep buying cute hair clips and stuff for just this reason, and then forget to wear them...

I have to admit I’ve done the same thing multiple times as well lol. Always thinking about the next possible styles yet never really get to do them. I have hoarded two large bags of plastic flowers and beads and all sorts of DIY stuff for my historical projects.
And somehow this fresh flower project pushes me to curb my procrastination because real flowers wilt if you don’t hurry up. For example, just two hours after picking, the pansy looks half-dead and I had to take the photo as soon as possible.

The Sweet William fared no better.

This is me too. I used to buy a lot of flower clips and flower headbands from H&M and hardly ever wore them. Then, in a fit of minimalism urges, I gave them all away. I wish I had some still, but I don´t think I´d wear them now anyway, because they were mostly pointy sharp metal things which would damage my hair and I want to avoid that.

I think I changed my bun too frequently throughout March (3-5 a day) and that caused more hair shed, so I will limit my hairstyles to at most twice a day in April. I also changed the background red plum to green weeping willow to signal the coming of spring.

Anyway these two are right-handed and left-handed variations of brioche bun, they look nothing like the one Haartraum made.

Oooh, mimosa is *so* pretty and delicate, and it smells so sweet. Pity it is invasive here. That's a lovely bun, tuanyiji!

I love your flower hairstyles Tuanyiji! So darn pretty!
The fresh flowers are so gorgeous and just take your lovely up-dos to a whole other level of beautiful.


I have a ton of silk flowers because I make homemade wreaths and I’d love to put some in my hair, because I won’t have to worry about them wilting and could rock them for the whole day.


There is also a wonderful product called wilt-pruf that I use to spray my plant cuttings with, so they don’t wilt while I’m waiting for them to root. It’s like a somewhat waxy coating that makes the leaves shiny. I wonder if spraying hair flowers with it, would help keep them lasting longer, so that I could wear them in my hair for much longer than just a picture. Might have to test that out. Of course I would spray the flowers and allow them to dry, before placing in my hair.


For today, I’m enjoying these paper roses in a french roll and my new pearl-pink tulip sticks.

I am here too!
What an excellent thread, I love flowers.
It is a pleasure to see so much creative hairdos.

Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, that flower was actually pink powder puff (calliandra surinamensis). At first I thought it was mimosa as well, but the leaves didn’t shrink away when I touched them and the flowers were puffier than mimosa. So I used an app to upload the photo and checked the plant’s origin.

Anyway here’s today’s flower, New Guinea Impatiens hawkeri.

I have been disappointed with using fresh flowers because by the end of a day or even an hour sometimes they are wilted and dying. So I've been sticking with artificial flowers. I love the look. Your photos are lovely.

I realized I had this picture lying around from a few summers ago to share:



I was working in Mississippi and could not resist stopping on the side of the highway to play with these lovely flowers!
