Today's hair

Good old double French braids turned into a Chinese bun. Simple, easy.

Ellingwoman/Nautilus hybrid bun

So, I wanted to check something: How big a difference is there between a Dutch or French braid as the base for the Nautilus/Ellingwoman bun? 

Ad as much as I love the Dutch braid as a base, I think it actually looks better with the French base?

The resulting bun sits flatter and neater, even though you can barely see the base braid.

Today on: Weird things I feel the need to check

Yes. Indeed. My dual buns are so large that it completely obscures the "French" detail of the braid. 

Happy Halloween!

I have seen people do little tightly stacked baby buns where it almost has a mohawk-effect, but this didn't really do it, unfortunately. Meh. 

Also the top bun got noticeably bigger than the rest. Double meh.

I felt like doing something different with my hair, but once I was about to actually do something, I felt lazy. So... Compromise? Three regular three-stranded braids. Going to make three little buns tomorrow. 

My autumn funk is kicking in these days... Everything is cold, grey and wet. Meh.

But! This brought me some energy:

Long hair Carolyn trying my Wrapunder and really liking it:

(And her high praise made me slightly embarrassed) 

Idiot hair

The sharp morning light on my commute was perfect for highlighting how coarse my hair really is.

Some times, regrowth sticks out with no regards for gravity. And this is why growing it out to begin with was such a pain in my shapely ass.

A perfect meatspace example of idiot hair, really. Heh.

I needed to practice my five stranded braid, so today's updo is a five stranded Dutch braid turned into a Nautilus bun.

It's funny how the flatness of the five stranded braid really helps with the nautilus bun.

It doesn't get that weird "inner coils spilling out" effect like the three stranded braid has.
