Grecian Updo

Hello friends,

     How special to get this beautiful hair comb as a gift from a friend.  It looks like a branch of bright blue jewel flowers, the perfect accent for my new lace dress.  I wanted a hairstyle worthy of my hair comb and dress, so I chose a Grecian updo.  First I made a wrap-around lace braid.  Then I put the rest of my hair in a ponytail and tucked and pinned my hair into place, so that it ended up looking like curls.  Thank you for coming to see my post!

Royal Blue Peacock Updo

Hi friends,

     Happy Chinese New Year!  I wore my new peacock hair clip in my hair today, I got it on my recent trip to Singapore.  My hairstyle is a series of twisted sections of hair, pinned in place with bobby pins.  My bun is three rope braids pinned randomly with even more bobby pins.  I would not have made it through a metal detector with this hairstyle!

Curly Romantic Hairstyle

Hello friends,

     This morning I tried another hairstyle inspired by @georgiykot, after watching a recent video he posted on Instagram.  I love this hairstyle and definitely want to try it again.  Of course, no two hairstyles are ever exactly the same, at least not on my head, but I might possibly be able to come close to this version again.

     Basically I separated out one half of my hair, then put the first half into a low curly bun.  I folded the loose section of hair up and swooped it over the top of my head, pinned it in place, then braided the length in a three-strand braid.  I fanned out the edges of this braid to make it have the distinct sections that @georgiykot's hairstyles have, then wrapped this braid around my head and finally tucked the ends behind my bun.  Voila!

     I could hear this beautiful bird cooing among the trees, and kept looking till I found it. This is a white-fronted ground dove, also known as a Caroline Islands ground dove. (Caroline Islands is an old-time name for Chuuk.) This beautiful black and white dove is native to the Federated States of Micronesia, specifically Chuuk and Pohnpei. There are less than 300 of these lovely birds left in Chuuk, and its conservation status is listed as vulnerable. How special to have one in our own backyard.

Classic Grecian Updo

Hi friends,

     I spent last evening watching hairstyle videos, and was reminded of a hairstyle I tried a couple of years ago after watching a tutorial by Lilith Moon.  I like to call this my classic Grecian updo, it is a Dutch lace braid wrapped around a big curly bun.  Check out my video on YouTube to see how I make this type of curly bun with bobby pins.

     Thanks so much for following my hair posts, I am so excited to be getting close to 1 million views here on my blog.  My Facebook page is getting closer to 5,000 followers, another great milestone.  Thank you to all my friends around the world <3
