I've seen some of you rockin' the Heidi braids before but I could never get it to work. I assumed my hair was too thick (I am not complaining about that) and that the layers that I am trying to grow out were getting in the way.Yesterday I watched one of Strawberry Koi's videos and it all clicked, finally! Her videos are so fantastic and helpful... I think I'm going to try pin curls tonight!
Thank you, bloggers, for being the (younger) big sisters I never had & teaching me the tricks I need to know.
(The braid in my hair is a theme picked up by the strap of my purse, which happens to be the excellent quilted rose Louche XL from SWANclothing -- but this purse deserves a post of its own)
Oh, your new glasses look so great! I really love them, and the braids..and these photos of you. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI first tried wearing my hair in Heidi braids a few weeks ago, and I've done it a few times since! My hair is also very thick; the sheer weight of it can cause the braids to fall down. I'm excited to check out the tutorial to see how I can improve my technique.
ReplyDeleteYour Heidi braids look great. I think they really suit your face. I like your new glasses too!
Holy bananas! So cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha, it was quite the same way with me, I just can't do much with my hair, but that video really helped. You look lovely and I really like your new glasses!
ReplyDeleteYou're totally rocking this look! And I think I'm liking your glasses even more.
ReplyDeleteCUTE!
ReplyDeleteyou look so cute! i cannot wait to try this style. i've been experimenting more with hairstyles instead of leaving it flat.
ReplyDeleteshucks! i am so proud you are a Louche carrier. i love the heidi braids echoing the strap. you look great. the folded back jean jacket cuffs, nice.
ReplyDeleteI've been digging a braids group on flickr!! My hair is too thin for it.
