Braided log roll variation II

Okay, another thought on the braided log roll variation: What if I simply made two Dutch braids, pinned a stick up between them, pinned the two braids up and over the stick, and then "weaved" the two braids through the pinned braids?


And... I loved it!


This was super easy to create and it held really well.


Also it looked highly unusual and nothing like any other bun I have in my current updo rotation.


So I need a name for this. My suggestion is "woven log roll"  to play with the "braided log roll" buns name. What do you think?

Braided log roll variation

I got an idea from my last attempt of the log roll: Since a five-stranded Dutch braid still didn't flatten the updo enough, how about if I made two Dutch braids that I braid into one at the neck, and then pin the log roll itself up again between the two Dutch braids?


And it turned out okay.


It's not great, but I do think it looks better than last I tried it.


It did give me another idea though, and I will try it soon.
