Hello everyone!

We are having an exciting week~ a group of three Taekwondo masters and their interpreter came from Korea and will be here for the next two months, having classes and doing demos.  I'll post pictures of my hairstyle, then some action shots from TKD class :-)

 

 



And now for a few Taekwondo action shots, with some hair pictures:

Perimeter/Cage Braid~ easily one of my favorites!

I first learned how to do this look from a video on Youtube~ a Mexican guy did it on a mannequin, actually :-)

Here are some pictures~ they were taken this past August in Hawaii:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aha!! After a lot of searching I found the video link!  Here it is:

 



 

 

I hope you enjoy this look! Thank you for stopping by to view my pictures.

You'll see I have some pictures of styles posted there that I haven't yet posted on my blog. I'm working on it, though :-) Thank goodness for Photobucket where I can store hair pictures and get them easily whenever I want!

Hmmm...maybe I have time to post something new before going to bed, after all :-)

Triple French braids~ my look for today

Hi everybody!

I hope your year has gone great so far! Mine has been really nice. There's something so invigorating about a new year~ like a fresh start!

I had thought about doing the criss-crossed Dutch braid look today, but I didn't really have the time or the patience.  So I ended up doing triple French braids instead.  I braided the three braids together at the bottom and made that braid into a low bun. Here are some pictures~ my sister took these for me:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really do like French braids...such an easy way to make your hairstyle look dressy :-)

 

I have pictures of my sister's hairstyle for Christmas Day that I forgot to upload earlier! So be sure to check out my next post when I get it uploaded. She did a beautiful sock bun with flower accents to match her dress...

 

 

Anyway, thanks for looking! I'm almost at 3,000 page views~ so exciting!  I appreciate you all so much!

Criss-Crossed Dutch Braids~ my first post in 2013!

Happy New Year, everybody!!

I hope your 2013 is off to an amazing start!

 

 

 

A friend commented on my circle French braid thread, and in my reply I mentioned that most times Dutch braids turn out a little smoother for me than French braids. I love both, though~ it's such a quick, easy way to dress up your hair! Here are a few pictures of one of my favorite things to do with Dutch braids:

 

 

 

 

 

Seeing these pictures makes me want to braid my hair like this again~ maybe I'll try it tomorrow. If I do I'll be sure to post pictures :-)

 

Good night, all, and a very Happy New Year!
