'Happy Easter' Hairstyle

Happy Easter, my friends!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter Sunday with family and friends.  Our island Easter was full of love and beautiful flowers :-)  I fixed my hair in two French braids, one slightly smaller than the other, and an accent chain braid, then a braided side bun held in place with tiny colorful clips to match my dress.  Thank you for following my hair posts!  Remember to visit my Facebook page if you haven't yet.

Chic French Braid Updo

Hi everyone,

     Today I braided my hair in two French braids and dressed them up with a small chain braid accent.  For the length of my two French braids, I tied them off with an elastic about half-way down then made chain braids with the bottom half of the braids.  When I wrapped my braids into a bun, the chain braids were able to wrap around the outside edge of my bun and add extra interest.  I love my new tiny hairclips from Claire's in Tokyo <3

 

 

 

   

Chain braids, great accents for a smooth bun

Hi friends,

Thank you for all the views and comments on my new length pictures, I was so excited to get to share them with you here on my blog.  Today I fixed my hair in a simple smooth bun with three chain braids as accents.  (Chain braids are what I like to call a 3-strand push-up braid.)

Double braids with a push-up accent~ my attempt to rise to the challenge

Hi everybody,

A few days ago a challenge was posted on the Braid Zone's Facebook page, to make a hairstyle using double braids and push-up braid accent.  Here are pictures of my own attempt to meet the challenge :-)  I made a zig-zag part, then braided my hair in two French braids. I left a small section of hair out of one side to use as my accent braid which was a regular 3-strand English braid.  I finished off my look with a loose side bun.
     Thank you for coming by to see my pictures!  I hope you have a lovely day, whatever season of the year it happens to be where you are. I'm excited to say that although technically it is fall here where I am visiting friends in the US, the weather has been almost as warm as summertime! Beautiful changing leaves with warm tempratures <3

 

Sunday Best

Hi everyone,

Last night I rinsed my hair in an apple-cider vinegar rinse, which always makes it clean and soft.  I don't do this very often, only every few months or so.  For lack of a better name, I'll call this hairstyle my Sunday Best :-)  First I made a four-strand slide-up (or chain) braid, then I made a waterfall braid where a headband would be.  I turned the tail-end of my waterfall braid into another 3-strand chain braid.  Then I put my hair into a low ponytail, and braided my ponytail in a rope braid.  I wrapped this rope braid into a bun and pinned/clipped it in place.  Finally, I wrapped my chain braids around my bun.  You can't really see the 4-strand braid, but the 3-strand chain braid stands out nicely, I thought.
     Thank you so much for coming to see my new post!  I'm sorry if my description of how I did this style is unclear, hopefully the pictures will help :-)
