This is How I Chose to Roll!

Roll my hair I meant. Bwahaha..!
So the past week was very mane-oriented for me and I tried these two hairstyles to work. šŸ™‚

French Knot

A french knot looks deceptively easy. The toughest part of it is not the hairstyle itself but how tightly you secure it with bun pins.! Its a smart updo which is a good idea for work and occasions alike.
It simply is a case of bunching your hair up like you are about to tie it up into a ponytail and start rolling it down neatly and when you reach the nape of your neck, stop. The balance hair should be doubled up and tucked neatly into the roll you just created. Secure tightly with le bun pins šŸ˜›

Fishtail

The second hairstyle is a fishtail. Its so easy but so time consuming, its not even funny. :/ I found it hard to keep my hand raised for so long so I asked my sister to do this hairstyle on me and so she did and she did well too didn’t she? šŸ˜€
A normal fishtail starts at the nape of the neck which I didn’t quite like because I like my hair to be tight right from the top so we tried this slight variation of the fishtail – a French braid style fishtail. Find the link to this tutorial here!

Hope you liked the two hairstyles. Do try them and tell me how it went šŸ˜€

  1. I loved both the hairdos Shilpa šŸ™‚ . Both beautiful in their own way . I too hate holding up my hand for long it aches and by the time I reach to continue the work it would have gone all messy . And I have tried a lot of buns on my hair sadly nothing works . All thanks to my thick long hair . 😦 . I don’t even know how I would look in these buns . My sister isn’t that good either . So for me no luck at all šŸ™‚ . Maybe I will try the french bun hopefully it works out . And also by the way you are looking very pretty in both .

    • Thank you sooo much šŸ˜€ yes I’ve seen your picture. You have amazingly beautiful and thick hair ā¤ you can probably check out luxy hair tutorials on YouTube. She does freakishly amazing braids with her thick hair. All the best. Tell me how it goes. Hehe šŸ˜€

      • I think I have watched them . But at first look everything seems so complicated and I tend to loose my patience half way šŸ™‚ . So it’s always a pony for me if I am not leaving it looses šŸ˜€

  2. One of the primary reasons I cut my hair was because I would start off super excited to try a new braid and midway would just do something crazy so I ended up with a nest lol! You my friend however have got this down to a pat! šŸ˜‰

    • Hahaha..yes ending up in a mess is such a frustration. But again, its maybe because you had really long hair. I bet once your hair grows out you ll start experimenting once again with renewed zeal šŸ˜€
