I really love the style on my Minama!
Thanks again Orchid dolls. ❤
The way the evening light braids the hills with shadow never ceases to inspire me. I come over all poetic but can never find the words to paint such a subtle picture. And that ridiculously beautiful graduation of colour - the desaturation that drought casts over the grasses and trees seems to make for a perfect canvas for the sun to paint unrealistic colours as if to compensate for the lack of rain.
i was so inspired by this photo that i attempted to re-create it using this photo as a starting point. it's not as graceful and refined as the aforementioned photos...but there are plenty more wednesdays to come...
Lovely sunset over North Lindstrom Lake, MN. The best of this session was the lone Loon Duck sitting just outside the right of frame who serenaded the setting of the sun.

1. To begin, start with clean dry hair and style it into two high ponytails, Leave an optional fringe for finishing later.
2. Divide the first ponytail in two. Make one thicker than the other, by about a 1/3.
3. Braid the larger piece... Three strand, left over center/right over center. Or whatever you feel more comfortable. Secure with a hair tie
4. ROPE braid the thiner piece and secure with a hair tie. The rope braid will give you a thiner, longer braid, than a regular braid. This will be essential when wrapping. For more information please refer to the rope braid tutorial www.flickr.com/photos/aveuch/4594343473/in/photostream/
5. REPEAT
6. Wrap the rope braid AROUND the three-strand braid
7. Secure with a hair pin
8. REPEAT
9. Wrap the three-strand braid on the left OVER and UNDER the braid on the right. Secure with a hair pin.
10. Wrap the three-strand braid on the right OVER and UNDER the braid on the left. Secure with a hair pin.
11. Take the left over fringe, roll, and tuck under the braids. Secure with a hair pin

This hairstyle travels EXCEPTIONALLY well. It can last and last and last. And looks amazing, One final perk is that one you decide to let it down, you'll have a fabulous soft set wave! Make sure to post photos!!!

I'll braid your hair.
I hope this bout of photographer's block goes away sometime soon, or I'll go insane. I need to stop photographing inside my house. Next week, I'm going out.
[+2 outtakes which, as usual, I like better than the original photo]
