Southern Cross Hairstyle

Hello friends,

     Happy Sunday :-)  Today I wanted to use the beautiful hairclips that I got as a gift from a friend in Germany.  I ended up using them as side accents to this hairstyle, and the overall effect reminded me of the Southern Cross which appears in the sky over my island <3
     To make this hairstyle, I basically made a series of small buns to one side of my head and pinned them in place with hairpins and bobby pins.  For the last section of hair, instead of making a bun I made a braid.  I took this braid and wrapped it up and around my row of buns, pinning it in place as I liked.  I added a jewel clip to one side to emphasize the side-swept look, then added the three star clips as accents on my smooth hair.
     This hairstyle lasts forever!  After a long, windblown day there is literally not a hair out of place.  I even contemplated sleeping on my side so I could wear my hair like this again tomorrow :-)

Sunday Stars Hairstyle

Hello friends,

     After my fun Halloween posts, here are some pictures of my hairstyle today on the first Sunday of November.  I made little sections all the way around with tiny elastic bands, then I went back and split each little section in two.  I took half of one section and half of the next section and banded them together with another small elastic.  This makes a star-like border to my center bun.  For the bun, I put all my hair that was not in the little sections into a high ponytail and made a cinnamon bun.  I gathered all the tail ends of my tiny elastic sections into another separate ponytail right on top of my bun.  Then I braided that smaller ponytail and wrapped the braid around my bun.  It sounds confusing, but if you look closely at the pictures I think you can see what I am trying to explan :-)

     Thank you for following my blog!

Starfish Hair'do

Hello everybody,

Happy Friday!  Today I fixed my hair without any braids.  I sectioned off little sections with small clear elastics, and gathered all the ends together in a half-updo.  Then I made a low bun and held it in place with two hair clips.  A fun Friday hairstyle :-)
