[BrownEyez22]

Here's the bun I've been wearing recently:
My hair is shoulder length in the back/chin on the sides and I cut the back layer off quite a bit recently:

Edit it add: Very very low impact 8mins or less. Ppl automatically assume it took forever.

Can't see your pic



And I think this is the first time I've seen your hair, thanks for posting!

I met her in 2004 when I opened for her at Allen Cathedral in Queens, NY. This was from a couple of weeks ago in Sanford, NC. She's a good friend and I love her. You saw her in London? In 2007? I was there the first time she came but missed the second time...we were stationed there from 2005-2009. We lived in Peterborough. Where do you live? Your hair is so pretty!!! I loved your wedding pictures!

Yeah...I have not shown my hair too much simply because I want to grow it out before trying to do the whole progress pic thing. It's grown a lot from my BC though...

Thank you so much for sharing this and the how-to. I've only done it with pressed hair. I can't wait to do it on my natural hair. You rock!!!

Here are a few pics. A sister on youtube has a good tutorial on the style in the black and white pic. I did flat twists 'cause I don't know how to cornrow.

I have a tutorial on the style with the pearls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apD9CXAE-Lw

The last style I had about ten small twists in the front. The back was much like the instructions from the tutorial except I swept the big twist from one half of my head to the other (to cover the part) and did the the big twist. I put a cheapo hair accessory from CVS to jazz it up.

I have more pics in my LHCF album.

My attempt @ the Cinnabun Style:

Overall it came out okay, but I think it'd work better on freshly washed hair. Spritzing and manipulating shrunken hair just caused frizz & more shrinkage. ​

I think I'm going to braid the sides of my hair & make my bun lower. If I do I'll take more pictures.

Twisted Puff (Very Low Impact)

I love love LOVE this style. I tried it this past week, but um... well I didn't do the front right so it didn't come out looking so hot. I'm going to try it again this weekend, or maybe I'll do it for x-mas day. It's soo cute to me.
