Three-fold Updo

Hey Everyone!

          I'm home for the summer! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Super exciting news is that I have a job, so thankfully I can make some $$$$$. It is g o r g e o u s weather in Arizona right now, just perfect for Mother's Day. Weird thing is that I've already kinda done my Mother's Day thing. It's becoming tradition that I get my mom flowers for the font yard and then garden them until I leave in the fall. So we went shopping today and picked up some petunia's and marigolds. I was going to plant them today, but my dad want to get some soil helper stuff -- what a great guy! So next week it is, hope the weather is still good.

Todays hair is:

The Three-fold Updo

Instructions:

1. Starting from the top, do a French braid, stopping where you normally would for a half pony tail and

    then braiding to the end of the hair. 

2. Split the remaining hair into 2 sections and braid each of them to the end. 

3. Fold one of the bottom braids over and lay flat, pin. Repeat with the second bottom braid. 

4. Take the top braid at fold it underneath itself. Pin.

Note: This hairstyle works best with r e a l l y thick hair.

2 French Bun

Hey! 

     Finals week is here and it's actually REALLY boring! Sure, I have some finals, but mostly I'm just sitting around watching TV. I feel very lazy. Like summer lazy. 

     Soooooo, here comes another hairstyle. Don't despair  this one actually isn't that complicated and I am fairly certain that I am not the first to actually do it. 

Like I said, easy.

Instructions:

1. Decide which side of your head you want the but to be on because, if you haven't noticed, it's

    asymmetrical. 

2. Start braiding from the o p p o s i t e side first and do a simple french braid, leaning more

    towards the bottom of your head. Go a little past the middle of your hair. Tie with an elastic.

3. Do another french braid on your other side going straight back over your head. 

4. Taking the two strands of hair, twist them in opposite directions and wrap them around each

    other. Tie and pin up.

Zig-Zag Bun

Arg! Finals week is creeping up, and it's slamming me with just about everything. =(

I mean I could try and say that I didn't procrastinate, but come on, we all know the truth. 

The worst part is that my printer ran out of ink, so now I actually have to pay to print all of my papers and music, and evaluations, and well, you get the idea. 

Just to clarify, Zig-Zag Bun is NOT a technical term =)

So here are the instructions:

1. Start waterfall braid on the top layer of your hair.

2. Go completely around your head and braid the top strand twice like you would a french braid. 

3. Do another waterfall braid with the middle layer using the pieces that you dropped through

     the top layer.

4. Repeat step 2. 

5. Now you are ready to do the bottom layer! For this layer you only need to do a french braid.

6. Braid to the end of your hair. Use a clear elastic and create a loop so that the end of your hair

    looks like this: (I used a blue elastic so that you could see)

7. Now is the easy part! Going counter clockwise, roll the braid around into a bun, pinning with 

    large bobby pins on all four sides. When you've gone all around in a circle, spiral the end of 

    the hair in the middle and pin through the loop.
