Hey! I'm back after a brief hiatus! And I've been working on a few new headpieces (and a gagillion hairstyles...like seriously. I've recreated like 6 hairstyles from GoT lol) so here's a new haircomb and hairstyle:

Btw it's made of a hair comb, seashell and seashell beads, seed beads, wire, and a whole ton of E6000 glue lol :D

i always overlook the idea of gluing things TO the seashells....my barrettes look boring....hope you don't mind if i steal the idea to glue some beads on it. lol

Thanks y'all so much! And no Lyna, I don't mind lol. As long as it's not exactly the same!

And surprisingly, this is probably one of the easiest hairstyles I've figured out (probably because I stole most of the technique from a video haha).

Haha well, I could link you the video but I changed the technique quite a bit because I had way shorter hair than the lady in the video. Pretty much, you braid two braids at the crown near the back of your head, then stick a chopstick (or the handle of a paintbrush for me lol) through the base of it, before the actual braid starts, Then cross it over and wrap it around in a figure eight, pin it down, then slide the stick out. Ta da! Then do two rope tiwsts on either side and pull it to the back right under the figure eight, twist them together, and pin.

In hindsight, it'd be easier to see it done lol.
