Fancy Four-strand Updo

Hello friends,

Today I made a four-strand French/Dutch braid, with two small accent braids on either side.  I wrapped all my braids into a big low bun, held in place with hairclips and bobby pins.  I like the way four-strand braids are French on one side and Dutch on the other, a fun combination of looks.  Thank you for following my blog!

Simple Combination Hairstyle

Hi everybody, 

Today I tried a combination look that is actually very simple...first I parted a small section of hair close to my face and made a small French braid.  I did the same thing on the opposite side.  Then, with my hair in the middle unbraided section, I used my little clear elastic bands to make a simple version of the head-dress look as an added accent.  My friends who saw my hair-do in person all loved it!

My hair clip collection

Hi friends,

Thanks so much to Les Cheveux de Mini for your kind comments on my previous post~ I took this picture in your honor!  I keep my clips and hair bands in perfume boxes, usually stacked neatly on my shelf with my make-up but now on my bedspread for you to see.  Also included in the pic are my favorite Grah-Toe hair fork,  my combs, and (yes, I admit I use it for my bangs!) my hair dryer.  The round biscuit tin was a gift from a friend in Germany; I keep my bobby pins, barrettes, and ponytail holders in it.
     A lot of friends have asked where I get my clips from.  Most of the jeweled clips are from a local store here on my island; I think they came straight from China.  The rest of my clips and hair bands came from different Ross stores or Macy's.  A few of the fancier clips and forks are from an on-line store called Sophia's Style.  They have a lot of nice hair things for reasonable prices.  Of course, Claire's is always full of fun stuff!  My silk flower hair bands are from their on-line store.
     As always, thank you for following my blog!
