Another shot at the braided log roll


So I got the idea of trying the braided log roll with a five stranded braid base instead.


This braid was super hard to do! I really need practice in keeping five strand separate and feeding more strands into it.


Although I think the five stranded braid base helped make this updo flatter and more comfortable, I found another thing I need to do different next time: I need to make sure to take the braid base more down. I tend to pull my braid bases up a little to have more freedom around the neck, but this particular updo could really use a braid that it followed all the way down.


Here is for comparison a regular old braided Nautilus bun on the same five stranded braid base.
Not actually a big difference in looks?
I will give it another shot at some point though.

Hair inspiration


So I tried to copy this:


And although it's pretty simple and pretty comfortable, I had a strange thought with it...


...I honestly think this would work better with more length??
