Blue Lace Updo

Hi everyone,

     My hairstyle today ended up matching the blue lace panel on the back of my shirt, so I'll call this my blue lace updo.  I made a 4-strand braid on one side of my head, using the braiding pattern that Lilith Moon explains so clearly in this video.  Instead of using a chain accent, I made a small English braid and used that as the 4th strand in my braid.  Then I piled my hair into a high bun and wrapped my braid around my bun.

The pink bougainvillea is so beautiful!

3-minute hairstyle~ perfect for a rainy day

Hello everyone,

Today I fixed my hair in a simple updo that takes less than three minutes to create.  First I made a tiny French braid on either side, then put my hair in a low ponytail and a bun.  Ta-da, I'm done and ready to start the day!  It was actually drizzling slightly when we took pictures, and you can see clouds over the mountain in the background.  A grey, rainy island day~ still beautiful as always.

4-strand blossom braids~ a beautiful new favorite

Hello my friends,

     Just when I think I've found a favorite braid, another favorite happens <3  My look today ended up being four random 4-strand braids, meaning that I made no parts before I started braiding.  I just took a small section of hair, split it in four sections, and began my braid, adding hair as I went down.  I put my braids into a low ponytail and pulled on the edges to give them a blossom effect.  Because the braids were 4-strand rather than Dutch braids, the pulled-out sections looked like overlapping loops.  This reminded me of a Micronesian ginger lei, where the stems of the flowers overlap each other in loops.
     I finished my braided hairstyle off with a low bun, and took pictures outside in our front yard underneath a beautiful blooming bougainvillea tree.  Thank you for coming to see my post, and I hope you have a wonderful week-end.

French Butterfly Updo~ my last hairstyle for 2015

Hello my friends,

     Just a few hours left to post my pictures from today and my last hairstyle for this year.  This morning I shared pictures of my French braid in Paris on my Facebook page, and was inspired to do the same type of hair'do today.  How fun to find my butterfly clip that happened to match my butterfly top :-)
     I hope you have a wonderful year, and I am looking forward to finding out what 2016 has in store.
