Tämä viikonloppu on ollut melkoista tohinaa… Tänään keskimmäinen tyttäreni meni syntymäpäiväjuhlille peuhapaikkaan ja sen jälkeen olimme menossa luistelemaan. Lettien piti tietysti olla tarpeeksi juhlalliset synttäreille, mutta sellaiset, että kestävät touhuamisen ja lisäksi luistelua ajatellen kypäränkin piti mahtua päähän.
Tässä ratkaisu: puoliranskalaisia ja pikkuponinhäntiä. Kampaus on oikein juhlallinen, mutta samalla pitää kaikki hiukset pois kasvoilta ja synttäiherkuista. Tämä mahtui myös myöhemmin kypärän alle ja kaiken lisäksi säilyi muutamaa karannutta haituvaa lukuunottamatta hyvin koko päivän.
Kampaus on helpompi, kuin miltä näyttää, ja jos osaa tehdä puoliranskalaisen, niin tämäkin onnistuu, jos hetken miettii tuota kuvaa.
Tästä kampauksesta on näkynyt monta eri versiota Instagrammissa, mutta minun to-do-listalle se pääsi Brasilialaisen Carla Massarin IG-postauksen jälkeen. Käykääpä katsomassa hänen täydellisiä lettiluomuksia: @mimiamassari .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A busy weekend. Today’s braiding challenge was that my daughter was going to a birthday party in a soft play area after which we were planning to go ice-skating. So, she needed a braid that would be fancy enough for the birthday party, but hold well while playing and also to fit under a helmet for ice-skating.
Our solution was this lace braided half-up-braid. This hairdo is so pretty, but also holds all the hair out of the face and out of party food. It also fit under a helmet, and lasted through all of these activities with only a few fly aways!
This braid is easier than what it appears at first. If you can do a lace braid, you need to just look at this picture for a while and you’ll figure it out without a tutorial.
I’ve seen this braid done by many Instagram braiders, but my Brazilian friend Carla Massari did such a beautiful version a while ago that I had to put it on my to-do-list. Go and check Carla’s perfect styles: @mimiamassari .
Only a few fly aways? I guess I’ll have to work harder on learning lace braiding then – after massive hairloss in the last few years I’m now struggling with a lot of regrowth, which turns into fluffy, semi-curly awkwardness when damp; so usually it is a total mess halfway through my martial arts class (I look kind of weird with that fluffy cloud on my head, but damp curly hair clinging to my face is what really makes it annoying). Do you think a hairstyle like the one you posted would work on thin wavy/curly hair and with the remaining hair put into a low bun? It definitely wouldn’t be a quick enough do for each training session, but when visiting other groups (or in the future maybe even doing presentations) I’d prefer to look at least minimally presentable.
