Princess braid & ocean view

Hi everyone,

     I remember when I first read about this hairstyle in a paperback book on hair-braiding. The book called this look a princess braid~ two lace braids combined in a single English braid. I like this hairstyle because it is easy to make but still looks nice.
     I love my new blue dress, and the chance to enjoy a beautiful ocean view. Thank you for coming by to see my new post.

Braided bun with wet hair~ my look for today

Hi everybody,

I'm back home again after a wonderful and amazing trip!  I got to see many places and sights that I never dreamed I would get to see with my own eyes.  I'll have to share random pictures with you over the next few weeks and months :-)  My hair was understandably in need of a wash after such a long journey home, so this morning I put coconut oil on it then washed it (with my C-W-C method).  It felt so good to have clean hair again!  I braided my hair in a simple English braid while it was still wet, then put it up in a low bun using hair clips that I got on my trip.  These particular ones came from a little shop in St. Andrews, Scotland.

Easy Heart Braid

Hi everybody,

Thank you so much for all the views here on my blog and on my Youtube videos!  Yesterday I made a simple English braid in place of a mohawk braid, and added a French braid on either side.  When I put my hair in a low ponytail so I could make my bun, I tugged on the sides of the English braid just like I did when I made my butterfly braid w/ dragon-fly French braids.  The result in this 3-strand braid reminded me of a row of hearts, so...an easy heart braid!  I like the way the center English braid hides the part between my two French braids~ an interesting change.

Blonde Wrap-Around Braid

Hi friends,

I hope you had a beautiful Sunday.  Here are some very nice pictures of my sister's wrap-around braid.  She makes a low English braid and pins it in place around her head.  Very pretty!

My look for today~ Fast & easy short ponytail for long hair

Hi friends,

This afternoon I put my hair up in a fast & easy short ponytail~ a fun mid-week hairstyle :-)  First I made the top English braid.  Then I gathered all my hair into a low ponytail.  I rolled my hair up once to make a ponytail the length I wanted, then wrapped the rest of my hair around the base of my ponytail holder like a bun.  Everything is held in place with a big hair clip.  Fun, fast, easy~ what's not to love?
