As we flew over Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang we saw China’s magnificent deserts spread out beneath us. What amazed me were the settlements in the middle of nowhere: small enclosures at the end of a road, with dried-up fields nearby.
I was fascinated by these braided streams, formed by water run-off from the mountains in the distance.

This is the Braided Headband and Bun Combo. I made the headband braid with about 1/3 of my hair, and the bun with the remaining 2/3. This was when my hair length was past my waist, I guess about hip length

The colour is perfect - thank you.
I think it's an accessory for Autumn over Summer. Have you worn yours like that?
