'Ello, 'ello, 'ello!!!
Today i'm going to tell you a hairytale about my braids...
Once upon a time this week- I started trying to find new ways to style my braids... As much as I like them hanging down on their own, my appetite for change got me thinking about buns... Thought a nice twisted bun would look good and I set about twisting, tying and frantically clipping... But alas no, it wasn't meant to be!!... My braids are just too long and thick. With each attempt I just looked a little more like I was growing a tumour on my head. So I changed tact, still in keeping with the updo theme and i'm quite happy with the results...
My day 1 attempt was a little sloppy (pic below)- I sorta just wanted all my hair to stay secure on the top of my head...
But day 2 I managed a nice structured twisted look, feels quite '80s, looks sorta like a hair hat, isn't heavy, takes about 3 minutes to do, doesn't pull and all it requires is a hairband and a few bobby pins to stay quite secure all day- long as you don't start dancin' to Whip My Hair!!...
And because this was a rather grumpy-faced tale, even for me...
- Lace bodysuit- Ebay
- Leather shorts- Topshop
- Lace top- Forever 21
- PVC skirt- Ebay
- Levi's denim jacket- Found it upstairs
- Tights- Primarni
- Boots- Borrowed, Topshop
- Hairband- Primarni
- Earring- Borrowed, thrifted
- Lips- Illamasque in Blaze
- Cheeks- Illamasque blusher
- Eyes- Maybelline gel eyeliner
... And everyone lived happily ever after- The End.
So what d'you make of my twisted do??... Is it a do or a don't??? lololol, i'm hilarious I know.
Toodles to you bitches xx

Change clothes, and go. Havent heard that one in a while. Oh my, I love what you've done with your hair, so unique. If all women put as much effort into their hair as you do, the world would be a happier place.
