I can't clearly see how she fixated the braids at the sides, but I figured maybe I could do it with a pair of Flexies. That turned out to be a fail: I couldn't really get the Flexies to hold and the Flexies kinda looked stupid.
So then I tried to pull the braids through the Dutch braid part and that worked out pretty well. So I repeated it until I ran out of length and tucked the leftovers in.
It held really well. I didn't even need to use a tool to hold it up.
Would I do this style again?
I honestly don't know. I did like it, but I also think I could do better things with a double dutch braid-base, like this or this.

ReplyDeleteThank loos very much like the updo of an Italian comtessa! Not something I personally would wear, but very impressive and fun!
ReplyDeleteQuite beautiful..I really like how it utilizes the different braid size "downstream" with the taper to provide a geometric contrast.
