    Sillage, you share the most wonderful updos! I'm so pleased to be seated next to you in the Bun Lovers Club.

    SWR, I don't have any suggestions to make (you're welcome *wink*) but I can't wait to see the pictures!

    Mod hat off. Mod hat on. Don't make me wear the mod hat, it messes up my hair. *grin*

    Thank you my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. A lot of times I feel like my tastes are not instep with everyone else here, so I'm glad you like them too. Makes me feel less lonely, LOL
    Routine for my dyed mid back length hair: shampoo and condition twice a week, with Alterna Kendi Dry Oil Spray all over and shea butter on ends and lightly on length as leave-ins on wet hair, and blow dried with a Sedu on low heat

    How about a cage braid? I think they look stunning on long hair

    I like them too ! I like messy buns, and the Gibson tuck is one of my fave updos, too (only it's so tricky, for my length).

    Oh, I love them, but I'm afraid I don't have time to learn now! I have yet to learn many kinds of braids

    Here are my ideas:

    - Braided seashell bun
    - Rose bun
    - http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com...kSJTRbpo_c.jpg
    - I have no idea how many strands this braid is, so perhaps this version should be easier.

    At the end I did a French braid, with a purple paranda. I wanted to do the French/Dutch sidebraids and probably bun them, with parandi, but my hair got so much static and behaved so badly I had to desist (to my great frustration). The French braid looked OK, though.

    I really have to find some more time to practise styles! Thank you very much for all your suggestions, maybe I'll begin with those !

    That sounds really pretty. Relatively simple, but who can say "no" to a paranda?

    Indeed! I've been using this purple paranda nearly every time I've done a braid. My hair tangles less as I braid it, it adds thickness and it looks pretty. What's not to love?
