Great crown braids silverstars and Flittingsis You guys have intrigued me, tried my first crown braid this evening. It's so comfortable! I feel like it was easier than I thought it would be, should have tried it sooner. Next time I'll try with oilier hair, something to combat the static and wispies.

Lizard your braid is SOO THICK! It's beautiful, even w/ the wispies...

Thanks! Its a piece of fold over elastic. I've seen pre-made hair ties made of this stuff. Meanwhile I had some in my craft draw! So I whipped one up.

Here's a store that sells it in Australia. Im sure it would be easy enough to get anywhere in the world. https://www.sewuniquefabrics.com.au/...-over-elastic/

Interesting, thanks for the tip. Did you sew the ends together or did you just tie a bow?

Fun with rope braids today!



Lace braided rope. This would probably be beautiful as a side bun on the opposite side from the lace to balance it out. I would wear that for a formal even or even just to dress up.



Little one is sporting lace double ropes at preschool today. She gets to wear all the cute styles. It really helps keep the hair out of her face, which keeps her from scratching her face up if her nails get jagged. Plus, it's fun.

The braids look beautiful I think I've never tried one. Did they hold up in preschool, are they sturdy?

Looks beautiful Kathie!

Thank you! I liked it so much I'm wearing it the same way today.

So nice! And so cute that you two were matching.

Just a simple knot at the end. I leave enough of the two pieces so it looks a little bow like.

Yes! But I sprayed her hair with rose water so it was a little damp. Doing her hair when it's damp or wet helps it stay better and look cleaner.

Haha. It's fun to play with her hair and she likes to look "just like mama" sometimes.

Thanks for the advice, maybe I'll try this. Does it also reduce shredding?

It does for us. I think it helps get all the little pieces into the braid to begin with. It helps the hairs stick together.

I posted this on they Salt and Pepper thread, but...Best one I've ever done! Lace rope crown braid that actually stayed for hours and my husband said it looked pretty.
