Another Nautilus variation

The Nautilus variation the other day gave me an idea: What if I used two coils for the outer part of the Nautilus bun?


This was surprisingly hard to create. Keeping two coils "out" and still trying to maintain the right tension was pretty difficult. I also thought that it would show with the two "outer" coils, but it really doesn't. Even if you know, you can't really tell.
I liked how flat the bun got, but it got some serious lopsidedness going on, which I disliked.
It also got noticeably less stable than a usual Nautilus bun, but that might be connected to how much harder I found it to keep the two "outer" coils free.

  1. Oh this version it's called double coiled nautilus on LHC I think (not sure about the correct name though but you get the idea). Usually people with calf length and beyond are doing it, but it's unstable if not braided.

    1. I didn't know it had a name, but that makes sense!
      Hm, now that you mention it, I think I could actually use a little more length for this. Maybe it will increase the stability?

  2. It's very attractive from the side, but agree the unsymmetric rear view is not so good.
    But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mini videos of the styles! ♥

    1. I like them too :) It gives a better view of the updo that still pictures...
