Christmas Ribbons

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  Today I used the new Christmas ribbon I picked up at a store in Japan, such a fun hairstyle addition.  I braided my hair in two Dutch braids, then laced the ribbon between each braid, like the laces in a shoe.  Since the ribbon was plain on one side and printed on the other, the "x" sections alternate which adds interest.  This is an easy technique since you add the ribbons after you finish braiding.  It just requires a wall mirror and a handheld mirror to make sure you get your ribbons in the right places.

Merry Christmas to all my dear friends around the world!

Blue Ribbon Updo

Hello friends,

     If any hairstyle was worthy of a blue ribbon, this one is :-)  Today I tried my hand at a corset braid made with two Dutch braids and a length of blue ribbon.  Instead of continuing the corset effect down the length of my braids, I opted for a low bun and added blue bows on either side.  I love how this hairstyle turned out, and look forward to trying the corset technique again and again.  Thanks so much for coming to see my pictures, I wish you all a lovely day.
