(Well,
yesterday but close enough)
Thursday I go to yoga with Chemist Friend in
Malmö and I’ve been experimenting back and forth a bit to find a suitable up do
for it. Braid(s) was irritating me and my usual braided nautilus was irritating me too,
so it was time to try a top knot.
I violated
my own three attempts or less-rule to get a good basic high ponytail going and
my hair has a deep hatred for direction changes (Guess it comes with having
coarse hair?) so I lost a scary amount of hair for this.
It started
off as a regular Nautilus but after some fiddling and rearranging I’m not
really sure what it could be called anymore. It’s not pretty, but it felt
better than a regular height bun and a braid. It was actually only the hair
sticks that turned out to get in my way.
I think I
will try with a crown wrap of some sort next time.
Yoga was
torture though. I covered the skinless areas on my feet with not one, but two
of those shock absorbing anti-blister bandages but I managed to half scrape off
the one on my right front foot and I had to pick it off in the middle of the
class. Ouch and ouch!
Look how
deep it is on my heel! I can feel my pulse in it at all times.
Ouch!!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of yoga are you doing?
I've found that I do a loose braid and knot it, and when we start to work on our backs, I quickly change the style to a top knot.
Course, my hair is half the length and thickness yours is, but it works.
I'm interested in any crown braids because that was my next step. Or a high bun like this.
Do you find when on your back, your chin pushes into your chest because of your hair? That is my biggest issue right now.
How are you liking yoga? Aside from the blisters ;)
Interesting! Found this link on youtube of a yoga instructor trying 3 different hair styles.

Now, her hair is very fine and way shorter than ours, but as a yoga instructor, it was interesting and thought of sharing this with you in the hopes you might try some different yoga hair styles to help us all! hahahaah
Might even be an ideal youtube video to make if you want (for yoga hair styles, not doing yoga with the hair styles ;) )
