http://www.aeonity.com/52updos The 10 most recent public blogs by 52updos Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:50:01 -0500 Aeonity Blog v2 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/58023 I decided to move everything in here over to my own site, for easy sake. You can find all the updos and more now here: [url=http://www.whiterosecreations.nl/updos]Hair Updos[/url] See you there! http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/58023 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/24 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:40:44 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/57230 This is a variation on [url=http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/14-two-finger-twist-hairstick-bun]the two finger twist hairstick bun[/url], also known as the 10 sec quick bun. The only thing that is different is that you braid your hair and then start twisting and securing it. I had to change to this style as my signature style since I broke a 60thstreet fork with the 10 second variation. Here is what this looks like, secured with a stick: [URL=http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rosestickhairkt1.jpg][IMG]http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/1696/rosestickhairkt1.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Good luck! http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/57230 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/23 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 08:56:54 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/56878 If you have very long hair, this one updo is a nice thing to know how to do. Make a low ponytail, hold it with your right hand. With the left hand put two fingers on the base, grabbing it and roll it around at least once, making a loop. Make sure to not loosen this loop. This is the base of your roll. With the right hand start twisting the length around the base, starting where your left hand fingers are, and working your way down to your head. This will cover the base you just made. Secure the ends between the roll and your head. Wiggle your fingers out of the loop and press the roll against your head. Secure with a hair toy of choice. This is what it looks like for me with a hairfork, from the back: [URL=http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lockku8.jpg][IMG]http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6643/lockku8.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And from the side: [URL=http://img245.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20080330logrollsidenh2.jpg][IMG]http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/926/20080330logrollsidenh2.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And with a medium maximas Ficcare: [URL=http://img355.imageshack.us/my.php?image=52updosficcarelogrollpb7.jpg][IMG]http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/274/52updosficcarelogrollpb7.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] From the side: [URL=http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=52updosficcarelogrollsiud1.jpg][IMG]http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7453/52updosficcarelogrollsiud1.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Don't mind that loose lock there, normally you shouldn't get that. The reason why I have that going on can be found in my regular blog. For those needing a video, I have two. 1) [url=http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k24/ohiolisa06/?action=view&current=logroll.flv]Medium length hair[/url] 2) [url=http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/LadyGodiva1078/LogRoll/?action=view&current=LogRoll.flv]Very long hair[/url] Good luck! http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/56878 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/22 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 05:25:27 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/56622 I have managed to make the five strand braid in my hair, using instructions found on the LHC forums. Part your hair into five strands, holding the outer strands with your pinky, and move your way in. Then the order again is simple: 1. Weave left under, over 2. Weave right under, over Repeat as far as you can go, then tie off. Make sure to hold the strands with the fingers designated so you don't get confused, and it will keep the index fingers free for grabbing the strands out of the other finger's grip. As with anything, practice makes perfect Here is what this looks like on me, my second attempt: [URL=http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=200803245strandpz6.jpg][IMG]http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/1264/200803245strandpz6.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/56622 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/21 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:40:30 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/56586 Yeah, finally something new in here! I have managed to make the four strand braid in my hair, using instructions found on the LHC forums and adjusting the starting point to avoid an ugly part on my head. Part your hair into four strands, which are far left, middle left, middle right, far right. The order is simple: 1. Middle left over middle right. 2. Far right over middle right. 3. Far left under middle left. Repeat as far as you can go, then tie off. The trick is to hold the far left and far right strands with your ring finger, and the middle ones with your middle finger. Now you have the index fingers free to grab the crossing strands. Here is what this looks like on me: [URL=http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=4strandsecondug4.jpg][IMG]http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8206/4strandsecondug4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/56586 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/20 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 03:05:35 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/55038 My hair is growing slowly, I am collecting really nice sticks by having them custom made by amadlife0 (on Ebay), and for now I am patiently awaiting for the ability to make a figure 8 bun. When I can do that one my hair will be long enough to also try other things again AND put them in here! If you are reading this blog to get some updo ideas, welcome and have fun. For those who speak Dutch I want to point out (here comes the plug :P ) the Dutch/Flemmish hair forum [url=http://raponsje.forumup.be]Raponsje[/url], alles over en rond haarverzorging, where you can find and ask anything about your hair and caring for your hair in the best way possible. Hopefully see you there! http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/55038 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/19 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 03:19:53 -0600 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/50180 This is at a break for a while, waiting for more length first. I still intend to get 52 of the things in here, some way or another, but weekly updates are going to be out of the question for a little while. Have fun with the ones already there though and hope to update soon! :-) http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/50180 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/18 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 13:04:33 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/49491 This is a very easy do, one I use for a day where I cannot be bothered to do something interesting with my hair, and it keeps it safe and snug in a clip. First I make a basic low braid, but I do not tie off the ends. I hold them together as I lift the braid up, fold it inward in half and then clip the hairclip on. Here is what it looks like on my slightly wet hair: [URL=http://img122.imageshack.us/my.php?image=braidclipfz1.jpg][IMG]http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/2128/braidclipfz1.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Good luck! http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/49491 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/17 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 09:48:47 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/49490 This is an easy bun you can flip up in ten seconds, making it ideal for when you need to do the hair up really fast. What you need is one hairstick, two hands and at least arm pit length hair. When you have thick hair you might need either less fingers, or more length to pull this one off. Form a ponytail to the right of the center and hold it with your left hand. Make a claw with your right hand's index and middle fingers. [URL=http://img101.imageshack.us/my.php?image=72638593xd5.jpg][img]http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6711/72638593xd5.th.jpg[/img][/URL] Grab the hair with the two fingers. Your fingers are now going to make a full circle counterclockwise. First they were pointing left when you grabbed the hair, start turning and they point downward, right, up and to the left again. Don't let the hair slip away from your hands as you do this. You now have a small section in your left hand and a roll of hair around the two fingers of your right hand. [URL=http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=48005589au6.jpg][img]http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2228/48005589au6.th.jpg[/img][/URL] [URL=http://img441.imageshack.us/my.php?image=33185805xo2.jpg][img]http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1050/33185805xo2.th.jpg[/img][/URL] [URL=http://img441.imageshack.us/my.php?image=85097930ys4.jpg][img]http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2601/85097930ys4.th.jpg[/img][/URL] The bit you are holding in your left hand you tilt upward and then grab it with the right hand two fingers. Your fingertips are resting against your head now, making sure everything is anchored in place firmly. [URL=http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=71534534wu0.jpg][img]http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/3021/71534534wu0.th.jpg[/img][/URL] [URL=http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=87852214yc6.jpg][img]http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6965/87852214yc6.th.jpg[/img][/URL] Use your left hand to slightly press the roll from the two fingers and toward the head, this makes it easier to insert the stick. [URL=http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=53600137am1.jpg][img]http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/8422/53600137am1.th.jpg[/img][/URL] Take the stick in your left hand and insert it right in front of the two fingers in the bun, pointed left and out, then grab some scalp hair and flip it over, making the tip face right. Gently push it through the hair. As you do this you can slowly let the right hand go and have it help push the stick through the roll of hair on the right hand side. [URL=http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?image=47453037je9.jpg][img]http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/5602/47453037je9.th.jpg[/img][/URL] And voilà, one quick bun with funny fly outs on top. The stick used in these pictures is a bit long, but the principle is clear. [URL=http://img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=80720854tg4.jpg][img]http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/9558/80720854tg4.th.jpg[/img][/URL] You can also build this do using hair scroos. It depends on your hair how many you need, I need three or four. Here is the same bun done with four hairscroos. [URL=http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scroo1ke4.jpg][IMG]http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/9242/scroo1ke4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://img130.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scroo2ye1.jpg][IMG]http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/2803/scroo2ye1.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Good luck! [u]Observances[/u] I had hair falling out from the roll a little bit. In itself it can look pretty however it can loosen the hold. To firm it up and avoid the roll having fly away hair, give the ponytail a twist or two. This will fix the problem. Also this is a great trick to use if the lock that sticks up is a tad too long on your hair, as the twisting will shorten the length a little bit. To add, I have changed a few things around on how I do things, but [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0YIyUGn2pI]here[/url] is a video of me creating this bun. http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/49490 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/16 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 09:02:21 -0500 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/49177 This is a style that was introduced to me by a friend on a Dutch hair forum that I frequent. You will need quite a length of thick sturdy thread and a number of beads to make things look pretty. On my hair 1.5 meters of lacer was used, 10 beads in total and I am not bra strap length yet. First of all you have to prepare the lacer. I used ten beads in total to make this one. Tie a bead to each end of the lacer, make sure it's on tight so it doesn't fall off. Now fold the lacer in half and slide the remaining beads on. Grab a hair tie and tie the lacer to the tie by making the folded end into a loop and pulling the beaded side through it, around the tie. Now you have the lacer ready to use. Make a low pony tail and tie it off tightly, the lacer part on the side of your back. Not too tight, you don't want breakage of your hair here, but it has to be tight enough to ensure the lacer doesn't pull the tie down. You now have a pony tail and a string of beads handing off of the hair tie. Now comes the tough work, arms up and behind the head. Training makes this easier! Make the two lacer strands go around the tail and come together on the visible side, slide a bead up and then split the two strands again and cross them on the back side (the side that cannot be seen). Now bring them back to the front, hold them together, slide another bead up and repeat the process. Make sure the beads are placed at an even distance for the best look. Pull the ponytail free from time to time as it will flop back and forth in the lacer until all the loose beads are gone and you are left with two separate ends again. Tie it off firmly and voilà, one lacer applied. This what it looks like in my hair. The picture was taken in a restaurant, is actually an action picture, and is thus looking a bit different than the other ones: [URL=http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lacersy4.jpg][IMG]http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/3764/lacersy4.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Good luck! http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/blog/49177 http://www.aeonity.com/52updos/14 Sun, 09 Sep 2007 06:23:07 -0500
