Side Lace Braids

Hi everybody,

This is one of my favorite hairstyles when I don't feel like trying something complicated.  It's easy and pretty!  I like to pull a little bit on the center section of smooth hair to give it a slight bump.  I put my hair into a low ponytail before making my bun, and this helps keep it up all day long because the clips have something to anchor to.  Thanks for stopping by to look at my pictures!

Simple Layered Ponytail~ my look for today

Hi friends,

I got a copy of Allure's special edition magazine on hairstyles, and one of the looks was a layered ponytail.  I used to wear my hair like this a lot, but it's too long now!  I put my hair into a low bun instead~ a fun every-day hairstyle.

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!
