beaming beauty,  beautiful language, brilliant technique

grey//gray

yesterday i found my second gray hair & it got me excited

i cant remember the last time i dyed my hair & i dont know that i want to ever dye it again

so naturally the shiny grey hairs are slowly making their appearance

 i think that grey hair, especially natural pure white hair, is the most beautiful

i wonder if i will change my mind later in life?

hair roll

my hair is growin! and probably needs a cut, but i refuse...

i can almost achieve a pony tail without bobby pins...

i discovered i can also do this hair roll

 it's been a long time since i've been able to do anything
interesting with my locks 

crown braid

 

here is a tutorial for a crown braid

that i copy and pasted from 'she let her hair down'

sadly my hair is still too short to do anything as wonderful as this...

Tresse Couronne - Crown Braid

Here's what you need:
- Dry shampoo
- Small elastic
- Bobby pins and/or hair pins (that match your hair color)

1. Spray dry shampoo all over your hair to give it grit and texture. Start with a deep side part and take a small "pie" section from the center of the top of your head to your hairline above the arch of one of your eyebrows.

2. Split that "pie" section into three even sections to start your braid. Take the small braid section closest to the top of your head and make it the new middle section by going under the one right next to it. Now take the section closest to your front hairline and put it underneath the one next to it to make it the middle section! Remember that you're always going under, under, under.

3. Now you are going to add hair to it like a  French braid. Take another "pie" section starting at the same point at the top of your head and part all the way to your hairline (make sure it's thin!) then add that whole section to the little braid section closest to the top of your head.

4. Take that section which now has more hair in it and keep braiding by going under the one next to it to make it the new middle section. Then take your section closest to your hairline (you won't need to add more hair to it because you already added it to the other side) and go under to make it the new middle section.

5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4 consecutively taking "pie" sections all the way around your head until you're right back where you started and then finish off your braid. Secure it with a small elastic and pin away!

*Tips: Using a bit of lotion on your hands as your braiding will help any layers you have blend together.

goodluck!
