(Suomeksi alla)
I’ve been asked to do a lot of braids for all kinds of parties from weddings to school reunions. I thought I’d compile some of my favourite hairdos for special occasions.
If you like these and you’re looking for a Christmas present idea for someone near Helsinki, I have gift vouchers for sale in my online shop.
Ladder braid updos look great, and there are a million variations. Here, couple of quick ones from last summer:
Intricate braids take a lot more time, but are beautiful and eye-catching:
Accessories can turn any hairdo a bit fancier. Few days ago I did a normal 4-strand with pearls:
And last but not least, my favourite hairdo, that will work on almost any type of hair: double starburst bun. Here I’ve done it on 1) long & thick hair, 2) mid-length & fairly thin and 3) short & thin hair. Always looks beautiful.

Olen tehnyt paljon kampauksia erilaisiin juhliin ja tilaisuuksiin ja ajattelin koota tänne omat juhlakampaussuosikkini.
Jos ihastut näihin ja mietit lahjaideaa pääkaupunkiseudulla asuvalle ystävälle tai sukulaiselle, niin nettikaupastani löytyy kampauslahjakortteja.
Tikapuuleteistä saa monia erilaisia kampauksia, tässä pari pikakampausta viime kesältä:
Letit, joissa on pieniä yksityiskohtia, ovat hienoja, mutta niiden näpertämiseen menee hieman enemmän aikaa:
Korut, nauhat ja muut koristeet tekevät normaalistakin letitstä juhlallisen. Tein viikonloppuna neliosioisen helmiletin, josta tuli oikein kaunis:
Ja lopulta oma suosikkini, joka onnistuu lähes millaiseen hiustyyppiin vain: tuplakukkanuttura. Tässä olen tehnyt saman kampauksen ensin paksuun ja pitkään tukkaan, sitten keskipitkään ja hieman ohuempaan ja lopuksi lyhyeen ja ohueen tukkaan. Tämä näyttää aina juhlavalta.
I like the very first one, it’s so beautiful and it looks like it’s very strong and durable. And the double starburst buns look awesome, but I doubt I’d be able to do that with my own hair, it gets tangled all the time – I can’t even do a decent French braid without ending up with a knotted mess … is there a secret for dealing with thin, wavy hair that turns into a felt-like mat of curls when braiding it? Even for a ”normal” three-strand braid I have to brush the ends out every few turns on some days. (Maybe I should move to a city with less humidity …)
When I braid longer hair, I keep on running my fingers through the strands and the rest of the hair as well. That helps to keep it untangled, smooth and even. That, and a lot of practice 🙂
How many inches around is your oldest daughters ponytail? I want to try your lovely starburst bun on my daughter but I’m not sure if her hair is maybe too thick.
Maybe about 5 inches… I’ve done the double starburst on even thicker hair. It works on almost any thickness and length!
