Pictures of my hair
Nov 3^rd, 2004 at 5:17am

Hi everyone!

I finally have pictures to show, but I haven't figured out how to actually post them here, so I'm giving you the link. The first two are from October after being up in a bun all day and then brushing w/ my boar bristle brush for that smooth look. The 3rd one is from this weekend after air drying it before any combing. I really need to do my trim, my ends are getting really thin.

Valerie Diamond Offline Posts: 615 Colorado Gender:	Re: Pictures of my hair Reply #10 - Dec 5^th, 2004 at 4:39pm Thanks everyone! E-Katherine, my figure 8 buns keep getting worse and worse. I'll have to try twisting them tighter. I have a hard time pulling off the first twist off the top when its tight--I feel like the twists blend together more. Just more practice I guess.

My hair probably isn't long enough yet, but maybe I could do a demi-8. That's one of the most beautiful do's I think I've ever seen! Congratulations on your braiding skill-I'm trying to figure out a basic Dutch braid. Argh!

LOL ... a demi-8 should be a regular bun. you need to be able to do more than two whole turns with your twisted/braided hair and then peel off the top layer and make either an 8 or an infinity sign. i think it requires waist length at least (unless you have thin hair maybe).

Sheesh-I'll be waiting a looooooong time beforeI can do an 8. Guess I'll just have to live vicariously thought your pictures-for now anyway. Thanks, Styg for setting me "str-8" on this!

I remember looking at the knotted pony tail thinking I'd never be able to do it. Then a post here reminded me of it, and not only could I do the style, but I had a decently long pony tail hanging out.
