Dutch Braid Updo~ my look for today

Two posts in one day!  Last night I watched Lilith Moon's video on this Dutch braid updo; I've tried it in the past but had forgotten a few pointers.  Today I tried it out gain, and have a few pictures to show how it turned out this time.

Tear-Drop Bun

Hello everybody!

Here are pictures of another popular look I posted on the Long Hair Community.  Seeing these makes me want to do this look again soon. I like to call this the "tear-drop" bun. To add interest, I started out by making a small Mohawk French braid. (From my other posts you've probably noticed that I seem to like doing the Mohawk look :-)

To make my bun, I first put my hair into a ponytail. Then I took a small section of hair and made a loop, and pinned the loop in place close to my ponytail holder. Each section of hair was long enough to make several loops. Here is my finished look:

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for looking! I'm going to have to take new length pictures soon, my hair seems to be even longer lately. Another day, another post <3

Waterfall-French Braid

Isn't this a beautiful scene?

I took these pictures yesterday~ such a lovely spot to visit!

Now, for some hair pictures!  This is actually one of the most popular hairstyles that I've uploaded to the Long Hair Community's Mane Forum.  I made a center part, then braided one side of my hair in a waterfall-French braid.  I left out the hair closest to my center part.  I did the same thing on the opposite side.  Then I braided the center sections of hair left over from my two waterfall braids into a center French-fishtail braid. Here is how this look turned out:

 

Thanks for looking!

I hope you have a great day <3

Figure 8 Braided Buns~ my look for today

Well...actually my look for yesterday...but I'm only getting around to posting the pictures today.

Yesterday I tried to do the figure 8 braided buns~ first I pinned the top part of my hair to add volume, then I put the lower part into two ponytails. I braided the hair in my two ponytails, and wrapped the first one up into a braided bun but left the last foot of hair out of the bun. I made the next braided bun and did the same thing. Then I took the left-over braid from one side and wrapped it around the opposite bun, and visa versa. That was as close as I could come to imitating a look I've seen in pictures on the internet of the figure 8 braided buns.

Here are my pictures:

Thank you for looking! I hope you have a good day, wherever in the world you are. It's so much fun to share pictures with friends like you.

Micronesian Girl~ Spiral Braid Updo

"Senco" or Spiral Braid Updo

This has to be Micronesian girls' most popular braided updo!  One of my Micronesian friends braided her friend's hair in this complicated hairstyle while I tried to take pictures of the steps. I uploaded the pictures to a thread on the Mane Forum at the Long Hair Community.  So far my thread on the LHC has had over 40,000 views!

Here are pictures of the steps to the "senco" or spiral braid.  You can see it starts out as a very thin lace braid.  The girl braiding starts the braid in the middle of her friend's head, then continues adding hair to one side while guiding the braid in a spiral direction, around and around until all the hair is added. Then she tucks the end of the braid among the layers so they don't show. Ta-da!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So very beautiful!  I wish I could figure out how to do this on my own hair.  I have trouble braiding all the way around and switching directions.  Some ladies who looked at my post on the LHC were able to do this on their own hair, and posted pictures.  They are amazing!

 

 

As always, thank you for looking!  Keep in touch, and if you are able to do this let me know!
