Four-strand Fringe Braid and Big Bun

Hi everybody,

I studied my braid book last night and this morning I tried a fringe form with two 4-strand lace braids.  I put my hair into a ponytail and looped my hair up into this big, slightly messy bun.  Then I wrapped the ends of my braids around the bun.  Everything is held in place with bobby pins and my famous hair clips.  Thank you so much for following my hairstyle blog!  All your page views help get me closer and closer to our next goal, 300,000 page views!

Accent braids & a big smooth bun~ my look for today

Hello everybody,

Today I made five small accent braids which I combined with a smooth center bun.  Instead of twirling my hair as I wrapped it into a cinnamon bun, I kept it loose and did not twist the hair in my ponytail as I made my bun.

Imperial Bun

Hello everybody,

Thank you so much for following my blog!  I always enjoy getting to share these hair pictures with my friends.  Today my hair was still a little wet from when I washed it last night.  (I don't use a hair dryer on my long hair, just on my bangs. I usually wash my hair with the Condition-Wash-Condition method twice a week.  I'll wash it at night before I go to bed and let it air dry all night long.  I use Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner, and Johnson & Johnson's No More Tears detangling spray as needed when I'm combing my hair out with my big comb.)
     To make this hairstyle, I first made two small lace braids, then swooped my hair up like I was about to make a high ponytail.  But instead of using an elastic, I held my hair in place with a small octopus clip and twisted the length of my "ponytail" into a rope braid which I then wrapped into a high bun.  There is no sock involved, this bun is totally made up of my hair alone.  I like the way the little braids peek through here and there.  I held my bun in place with bobby pins and these three little hair clips.  Then I added my emerald headband as a finishing touch.  One of my favorite hairstyles so far!
