Today's hair

I really like the look of that messy, high bun that was all over social media some years back (Still is?). It's super cute and creates an elegant shape of the neck.

But you all know me: I'm lazy and prefer braid-based updos so I can just take the tool out and have a decent braid for sleeping on it. 

So I had the thought of making a super high braid, turning it into a bun, and being able to sleep with the braid as it was.

Meh. I liked the look, but the braid was super annoying to sleep on. Was worth a try though.

Meh. If I had posted this as "Romantic messy braid updo" or something, I'm sure people would have nodded and thought it looked just like that, and not as a super lazy second day fail...

Meh, close enough?

I honestly couldn't be bothered to redo the failed five stranded braid from yesterday, but once I wrapped it up in a cinnamon bun, I didn't even notice it.

It had a bit that was sticking out, but otherwise it only displayed the good parts. So meh, good enough.

What The Fail

I was watching Mr Igor game while I braided my hair, and apparently it was more distracting than I thought? I didn't even notice the fail until I got the mirror out to take the pictures.

Five stranded braids are something I still need to practice a lot on, but still...

The length looks good, but what the fail have I managed to do to the beginning?

I did do the three-into-five beginning to make it easier for myself, but somehow I managed to make an almost ropebraid-ish start to it?

The fail seems to be limited to just two strands that I "overused" in the beginning.

Especially one strand that I seem to have used for every other motion in the beginning?
Weird.
