Figure 8 Braided Buns~ my look for today

Well...actually my look for yesterday...but I'm only getting around to posting the pictures today.

Yesterday I tried to do the figure 8 braided buns~ first I pinned the top part of my hair to add volume, then I put the lower part into two ponytails. I braided the hair in my two ponytails, and wrapped the first one up into a braided bun but left the last foot of hair out of the bun. I made the next braided bun and did the same thing. Then I took the left-over braid from one side and wrapped it around the opposite bun, and visa versa. That was as close as I could come to imitating a look I've seen in pictures on the internet of the figure 8 braided buns.

Here are my pictures:

Thank you for looking! I hope you have a good day, wherever in the world you are. It's so much fun to share pictures with friends like you.

Micronesian Girl~ Spiral Braid Updo

"Senco" or Spiral Braid Updo

This has to be Micronesian girls' most popular braided updo!  One of my Micronesian friends braided her friend's hair in this complicated hairstyle while I tried to take pictures of the steps.

Here are pictures of the steps to the "senco" or spiral braid.  You can see it starts out as a very thin lace braid.  The girl braiding starts the braid in the middle of her friend's head, then continues adding hair to one side while guiding the braid in a spiral direction, around and around until all the hair is added. Then she tucks the end of the braid among the layers so they don't show. Ta-da!

Double French Braids with a Slanted Part

Here are a few pictures of one of my favorite hairstyles~ in fact, I'm wearing my hair like this today! First I part my hair from one upper corner to the opposite lower corner. Then I clip one section and make the first French braid. I unclip my hair and make the next braid. I make the length of my braids into a side braided bun. Sometimes I divide my hair so that one braid is significantly larger, other times they are more even.  Here are a few pictures:

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a great day.  See you again soon!
