Marie Antoinette Bun

Hello friends,

     This updo reminded me of a French hairstyle from the 1700s, with big waves and a small loose section of hair curled to one side.  And with a variety of hair clips to help hold my hair in place, this look has lasted all day long!
     Thank you for coming to see my new post.  I love to share hair pictures with you all.  Happy Saturday <3

Super Big Bun (plus what I do with my hair when I sleep at night)

Hi friends,

     Thank you for the kind comments on my last post, I was very thankful for my friend suggesting I answer that question about why I love having long hair.  Another friend asked on Instagram what I do with my hair at night when I sleep, so I answered in a Facebook post and will share here.  Thank you for following my hair posts!  Today I had braid waves from my braided ponytail yesterday.  I slept in my braids last night, then undid them this morning and made my big bun without combing my hair out first.

     Bed-Head: What I do with my hair at night

• If my hair is in a braid, I usually go to sleep in my braid. If my hair is in an updo or bun, I will take it down from all the hair clips and bobby pins, then wrap my hair up into a loose cinnamon bun. But when I lie down with my head on the pillow, I unclip my hair and sleep with it loose. I don't usually comb my hair out right after taking it down. I'll wait to comb it out the next morning. But if I am having trouble with tangles, or my ends seem dry, I will comb my hair out and put coconut oil or argan oil on the ends, then pile it up on top of my head in a loose bun. 
• The only time my night-time routine is different is when I wash my hair at night. After combing my hair out, I go to bed with wet hair and let it air-dry all night long. I try to sleep on my side with my hair draped across the pillow behind me, so it has the best possible chance of air-drying.

   
     And now, pictures of my big bun with wavy hair~ thank you, friends!

Wavy Bun

Hi friends,

     My hair had amazing braid waves this morning, since I slept in my Dutch braid from the day before.  So instead of combing out the waves, I put my hair into a loose low bun that emphasized the waves.  I love the Victorian look that this hairstyle has.
     Thank you for following my posts here and on Facebook!  I love sharing with you all.

Wavy Hair

Our goal is usually to try all kinds of different styles so instead of the crimping or making ringlets we found a wavy iron.  I have included a picture below to show you what ours looks like.

All we did for this cute style was started with the underneath hair and made small parts starting at the scalp and working your way to the ends of her hair.  It is the same as crimping her hair with a crimping iron.
