Eyelet Braids

Hello everyone,

     Yesterday I braided my hair in a combination of a 4-strand braid, a zig-zag part, and a Dutch braid.  I braided the length of my hair in what @haartraum likes to call a hybrid braid, which is basically a chunky fishtail.  I love how this style turned out, it's great for days like yesterday when you are trying to go just one more day without washing your hair ;)

     Thank you for coming to see my post!  I hope you have a lovely day.  By the way, I called this eyelet braids because the outer edge of my 4-strand reminded me of eyelet lace :)

 

I bought myself some flowers

French style side bun

Hello friends,

     How exciting to pass 5,000 likes on my Facebook page for braids and hairstyles!  And my blog is within days of reaching 1 million views, so we have lots of reasons to celebrate :-)

     I love side bun hairstyles, and when they are combined with a headband braid they are super nice.  This hairstyle is a side hybrid braid with a 3-strand braid directly behind it, ending in a side bun.  Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  As a bonus, I added a couple of pictures of my look today~ a mermaid look to go with my favorite "mermaid" clip <3

 

Tribal Mohawk Braided Ponytail

Hi everyone,

     Today I wore a simple dress that has a tribal pattern to the material, so I fixed my hair in a Mohawk style to match.  My braid is a version of a fishtail braid called a hybrid braid.  The basic concept is the same as a fishtail, except you use extremely large pieces of hair instead of tiny pieces.  That's why this braid looks not quite like a French braid, but not quite like a fishtail.  I love it because it lasts all day long without getting fuzzy, always a plus to any braid in my opinion.

     Thanks so much for coming to see my pictures!  I wish you a wonderful day.

Easy to see why this is called a "crab ginger"

Banana Braid

Hi everyone,

     What hairstyle could possibly be more perfect for a morning in Micronesia, than a banana braid?  My braid today seemed to be an exact match to the bunch of bananas hanging from a tree in our back yard~ how fun!  This braided hairstyle is a stacked braid headband, combined with a side hybrid-braid ponytail.  I love how this braided style has lasted all day long without looking fuzzy or messy.

     Thank you for visiting my blog!  I hope you have a lovely week.

My sweet Japanese friend made these special bobby pins for me, they have my initial on them <3
