Clip buns

I'm still quite upset about how uncooperative my hair and scalp are after hennaing, so today I'm wearing the most comfortable buns in the world - JJJ's Clip Buns. I love that tutorial, it's just fabulous.

Fairies

These arrived a lot sooner than expected, so today's buns are very matchy matchy. AB and pink fairies! So pretty! I also decided to change things up a bit, and did braided lazy wrap buns. I should do this more often, it only took a few minutes to do two english braids. The buns are actually the same size, it's just the angle that makes the right one look bigger.
But back to the adorable flexi-8s! I took a lot of pictures, so sit back and enjoy!

Lazy Wraps

Here's more double buns for you. Today it's lazy wrap buns, one of my favourites when I do doubles. I wanted to do another mismatched flexi-8 'do, using Emerald Dream and Autumn's Ruby Bouquet, but I couldn't find Ruby. I decided to use Roman Stone instead, which makes this pretty matchy in my opinion. If I manage to locate the Ruby flexi, I'll use it tomorrow instead. Seriously, it must be here somewhere! Nevermind, I found it!

It's also pretty obvious that I'm way overdue for some flaming red dye. I missed a few spots in the back when I dyed last time, and those are becoming painfully obvious. The Manic Panic has also faded quite a bit, and my hair looks almost normal again. I've bought 3 tubs of Directions Vermillion Red for my top layer, and two tubs of Directions Pillarbox Red for my bottom layer. I have two days off next week, which would give me plenty of time to dye my hair (it takes many, many hours to do it). I'm a bit concerned about how bright it will turn out and how it'll look on me. I work in a nursing home, and it wouldn't be good if I showed up with crazy hair. I might frighten someone. When I used the Manic Panic, I had an entire week off from work, so the colour had time to fade quite a bit. Maybe I'll have to strand test, and see how it looks. That will be a first, as I'm usually more of a 'slap it on all of my hair and hope for the best' kind of person.

Double Flexi-8 buns

Ah, double buns.. How on earth did I survive without them? I wore them with size L flexi-8s yesterday and today, which I hadn't done before. I tried it once a while ago, and failed miserably, and thus concluded that double buns with flexis just didn't work for me. Clearly I was very wrong. These buns are so awesomely comfortable, that I did something very silly. I ordered two Fairy flexis, Aurora Borealis and Pink, both size L. I never really liked the Fairy design until I saw it in action LHC, simply because it seemed too childish and cutesy. I guess it is sort of childish and cute, but not too much. I think it will look really cute in double buns. I don't always make much sense.In fact, I rarely make sense. You should never ask me for directions.

Picture time! Yesterday I wore Black Nickle Sapphire and Roman Stone, and today I decided to go crazy and wear mismatched flexis. Behold, Cat's Meow and Daisy!

Clippies in action

Here are the little claw clips I bought at Accessorize. I used them (and a few bobby pins) to hold twin logrolls yesterday. They seem pretty hair friendly, as I could take them out with any strands getting caught. The little black clips from H&M on the other hand.. I think those should just be thrown in the trash. They're horrible. I hope the ones I got from Ebay will arrive soon, I want to dress my hair up with floral print clippies and leopard clippies now!
I also think that the logroll may be my new favourite bun for doing twin buns. It's so pretty, and so easy to do. ^-^

Manic Panic and tiny claws

I dyed my hair with Manic Panic last week, because my henna turned out to not be henna, and I wanted to dye my hair. So far I'm very happy with the results, so much so that I've already purchased some Directions dye in Vermillion Red. I may get a few tubs of a different shade too. 
This time I used MP Infra Red and Rock'n Roll Red, though both look very similar on my hair. My hair took the dye really well, despite being part hennaed and part virgin (I had a few cm of blonnette roots). I've only washed once since I dyed, and the colour has faded a little bit. Still pretty intense though.

In other news, the back of my head suddenly decided it didn't want me to secure my buns there anymore. I've tried to do different buns and secure them in different places, but clearly that wasn't good enough. The last few days I've been living in double buns held with small claw clips, bobby pins, and spin pins. I bought some cheap claws at H&M, but to say that they are low quality is an understatement. Good enough to keep my hair up for now, but I'm never buying any of those again. Instead, I went crazy on Ebay and purchased a bunch of cute, little clips there. And because they may take ages to arrive, I bought two sets at Accessorize today. These are bigger the ones from H&M, much more expensive, but they seem to be less snaggy. Also, pretty colours!!

And a few pictures of my recent 'dos. The first are twin logrolls, and the second are lopsided cinnamon buns/beebutt buns. I wanted to be Princess Leia today ^-^
