Fishnet Hairstyle

Hello friends,

     One of my favorite parts about having long hair is being able to style it in a way that matches my outfit, like this favorite top that I wore today.  I tried to imitate the fish-net look on the front of my t-shirt by making a head-dress accent with my hair.  First I made two lace braids on either side, then added the head-dress look in the middle.  I finished off my hair'do with a big low bun.
     Last night I used the 2 eggs/coconut oil/olive oil hair mask, with results as wonderful as the first time.  Never has my hair been so soft and shiny as after using this special conditioning mixture.  I love it!  (If you would like to try it yourself, I talk about how to use this hair mask here and here.)

  

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.

 

Braids & Bows Updo

Hello friends,

I hope you had a beautiful week-end!  This morning I fixed my hair in two lace braids and a French braid, one layered after the other, and finished my look off with a braided bun and my favorite royal blue hair bows.  Thank you for stopping by to see my new pictures!  And thank you for helping my Braids & Hairstyles Facebook page reach 400 page-likes, how exciting :-)

Lace Braids

Hi everyone,

Today my hair was absolutely not cooperating when I tried to make a big flower bun to match my dress, so I ended up making two simple lace braids and a big low bun.  What a beautiful sunny morning we had!  I hope that yours is just as lovely :-)

French Rope Updo~ my look for today

Hi everyone,

     The sky was rather overcast this morning, but still a great day for taking hair pictures :-)  I washed my hair last night but first I used my new monoi oil from Tahiti instead of my coconut oil.  I'm so thankful to my sweet friend in Holland for suggesting I try monoi oil!  It is amazing and smells absolutely wonderful.  I also used an apple cider vinegar rinse~ a great way to clean your hair and make it extra-soft every few months or so.

     By the way, a friend asked where I get my small hair clips.  Usually I find them at Ross stores when I'm traveling in the US, and in Europe I found them in other stores as well.  I love using small clips as apposed to bobby pins, they seem to hold my hair much better and don't tug or hurt as the day goes on.

     Thank you for visiting my blog!  And remember to check out my new Facebook page when you get a chance.  Have a beautiful day and I hope to see you again soon <3

 

  

Flowery Dutch Lace

Hello friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.  I was so happy to find that one of my flower headbands just matched the flowers on my dress.  What a fun addition to this updo, a combination of two Dutch lace braids and a braided side bun.  Thank you for checking out my new post!  Have a beautiful new week <3
