This was a picture I found on Dreamweaverbraiding, which now seems to not exist anymore?
The hairstyle was supposed to be a bunned up braid, where after securing it, the leftover length is left loose. This picture was the second-last with the finished style having the entire tail loose.
I started with a five-stranded braid, just for fun.
My thought was that this would help to "flatten" the bun-part but that didn't seem to help. Pout.
I love how wide the five-stranded braids are on my hair, so I had to show it off!
4 cm at below shoulders.
The finished style.
Like all asymmetrical styles, it looks better from one side than from the other.
I'm amazed at how I can both have a decently sized bun and a hipbone length ponytail going on at the same time!
Would I do this style again?
No. It felt unbalanced and loose. I also almost got my hair caught in things, like closing the fridge.
Hubby really liked it though!
I agree with hubby...it's unique and gorgeous ♥ But of course you have to "live with it" during the day.
ReplyDeleteBTW your braid IS totally awesome!
Has to be said - that is an amazing braid! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely style! I personally love to do half-up, half-down styles not only because of the way they look, but also because a waist or hip-length 'ponytail' is more user-friendly than an above-knee one xD
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I agree :) I would love to figure something out that we both enjoy. The search continues!
