Fancy Lace Braid, Braided Bun Updo

Hello friends,

Thank you for all the views and comments~ I think we will soon reach 100,000 pageviews!  I so enjoy posting pictures and sharing hairstyles and braids with you all.  Today I tried a four-strand lace braid where one section was actually a small English accent braid.  I ended up doing the same accent braid idea on each side, but the left lace braid is a 3-strand and the right lace braid is 4-strand.  I'm probably the only one who notices~ no reason for doing it this way, except that my hands were tired of keeping the different strands separate from each other ;-)

Banana-clip style braids - for long hair

Hi everybody,

Another week has begun!  My accent braids looked just as good the second day, so today I wore my hair in a cinnamon bun highlighted with accent braids.  I wonder how much of a hurry I'll be in tomorrow...they might be made to last three days!

About this hairstyle~ I gave up trying to use banana clips a long time ago - my hair was just too long for them.  But this hairstyle from a few days ago reminded me of the 90's banana-clip fashion.  Maybe they will come back in style one day...??  To create this look, first I made three English braids, one above the other.  Then I bundled them all together and held them in place with a big jaw clip.  The clip is anchored to the middle braid which kept my hair from tumbling down.  An easy yet slightly sophisticated hairstyle :-)

Thanks for looking at my pictures!

"I Dream of Jeannie" Braided Ponytail

Hi everybody,

I hope you had a beautiful Sunday!  Today I fixed my hair in a style that reminds me of Barbara Eden's hair on "I Dream of Jeannie."  It must be the combination of a folded-under ponytail with a braided bun that brings her cute hairstyle to mind :-)

First I made five small accent braids.  Then I put my hair into a smooth high ponytail and braided the rest of my hair into two larger braids.  I folded all the braids up and under into a short ponytail, and wrapped the remaining length of my hair around the base of my ponytail to make the braided bun.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by to see my "I Dream of Jeannie" 'do!

My look for today~ Double French Braids

This has to be one of my favorite go-to hairstyles~ double French braids with a side bun.  Whenever I feel uninspired or can't think of something new and different, I can fall back on this timeless hair-do.  The slanted part gives this look an added flair~

 

 

 

 

My look for today~ Braided Bun

Hello everybody,

Another green, rainy day in the islands~ the flowers I planted a few days ago are alive and growing, thanks to this weather :-)  Today I made a simple braided bun with my favorite Grah-Toe hair fork.  The braids on the sides are Dutch braids~ (Last night I washed my hair and used an extra-large amount of Johnson & Johnson's No More Tears detangling spray, and this morning my hair seemed to be super-soft and tangle-free.)
