Double Rose Buns

If one is good, two are even better!

I've found that double buns are a great way to distribute the weight of my hair.  And this hairstyle is so easy and fast~ just section your hair, make a bun with the top section and another with the bottom section, and you're done!

Braided Mohawk~ my look for today

Merry Christmas!


Today I went to town to do some Christmas shopping.  Since I needed to get ready in a hurry, I chose the hairstyle that is so quick and easy yet looks like I took the time to fix my hair. No matter I was rushing out the door, I still managed to get a few hair pictures:



 
 
 
Now, I know this is supposed to be a blog about hair, but I just have to include some pictures of my Mustang. Don't you love the pink racing stripes? (And yes, I live in a place where it's summer-time all year round. I'm so glad!)
 
 
 
Wimsey wanted to go for a ride.  He couldn't understand why I had left him home this morning.  

 




Thanks for looking!  Christmas is a week from today~ I hope you're enjoying this special time of the year.

French braided mohawk with side accent braids

 
I came across this picture on the internet, and wanted to try it out:
 

  


 
Here are some pictures of my first attempt~ since then this has become a go-to hairstyle for me. I don't always do the accent braids, but they add a nice touch when you have a few extra minutes. Be prepared for a lot of pictures! I think I have them from every possible angle...

A favorite of mine~ Hearts and Flowers Hairstyle

This is one of my personal favorites~ a friend sent me these cute flower clips, so I added them as accents to my braided hearts.  I put the length of my hair into a side braided bun. My little dog Wimsey liked it!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks for looking! 
I hope you have a lovely day.

Rope Braid & Rose Bun Hairstyle

Hi everybody!


I'm Andrea.  I have always had long hair, even when I was a little girl.  My hair just seems to grow fast!  I do keep it trimmed so that it looks even across the bottom~ I prefer an even-look to fairy-tale ends.  Right now, my hair is around ankle-length.  I have so many hair pictures to post~ it's fun to share them with other people who are also interested in learning new hairstyles or who have super long hair themselves!

Here are a few pictures of a style a friend called my "rope-and-rose" look.  Thank you for dropping by!



Rope and Rose Hairstyle

 







To create this look, I made a lace-style rope braid on the left side of my head. Then I put my hair in a low ponytail on the right side and braided the length of my hair into a rope braid which I then wound up into a rose bun.  I held my bun in place with a pretty butterfly clip that I bought locally.
