Twisted Top Knot Bun on Stretched Hair

I stretched/straightened my hair this past weekend with a combo of the flat iron and foam flexi rods. I like the sleeker look it gave my hair style.  The technique I used is the same as in this style: http://hypnotic-glamour.net/blog/?p=29

This is a three day old stretch

 

Two Strand Twist Top Knot Bun

Can you tell how much I like buns? :D For this look, I put my hair up into a bun (leaving out the bangs). I divided it into 4 equal sections (left, right, front, back) and two strand twisted. Then, I gathered the front two by the ends and pinned in the back and gathered the back two by the ends and pinned up front.

For the bangs, I made 2, two strand twisted, rolled, and pinned.

Yet Another Protective Style: The Princess Bun

So bun looks have been my go to hairstyle this season. This winter has been extremely cold and having my hair out as much as I'd like just hasn't been a possibility. Now, the princess bun, as you may wonder, is not much different (if at all) from the top knot bun.

This is just my own spin on a high crown bun. It got it's name because I think the bun does look like a mini-crown. Princesses are "mini-queens" LOL, and the name "Princess Bun" was born! I spiced it up with a rhinestone hair accessory which I picked up from the dollar tree. This is just a really long silver bobby pin with rhinestones on the top. And of course I did my signature twisted bang at the front.

Top Knot Bun

I once again did a top knot bun as a lazy day/protective style. This was done on freshly washed, un-stretched hair. All I used were a pony tail holder and a few bobby pins. The technique I used was to split the hair in half and then wrap each half in the opposite direction and pin the ends. I added a scarf as a nice finishing touch ;)
