Upcoming Renaissance Festival!

So it is that time of year again! The Ren Fest has started and my daughter and I are going next month. So I am going to try to get some new Renaissance Hairstyles up before then.

We have been going to the Arizona Renaissance Faire since Chelina was in Kindergarten. It's always fun to spend the day there. So much artistry and creativity to enjoy! It always give's me a lot of  inspiration for hair styles.

Besides, it's nice to take a break from the present reality and take a step back in time. Can't always take life too seriously lol.

So check back with us to see the pic's. I know I have been slow moving on my return but I recently started a Instagram account for the blog to give me more motivation lol. All the talented Hair Artist give me motivation and inspiration to get my tail in gear!

Dutch Braids with Beaded Accent Twist Braids

Sorry I haven't posted! My desktop has died so now I have to just get on someone else's whenever I have the chance. I was so rushed this year that I didn't get a chance to do a step by step. I will though, if enough people are interested. It looks complicated but it is really pretty easy, just a little time consuming...not too bad though and the end result is worth it. I will also be trying some other things with this hairstyle. So let me know what you think!!!

**Please bare with me  while I am trying to get my computer going...or just get a new one lol.

Renaissance Style: Dutch Braid Twist with Accent Braids

Well we didn't make it to the Renaissance Festival this year :( There has just been a ton of stuff going on ( I am expanding my business! ) but my sister did go and asked me to do her hair. This is a style I did quickly in the morning before they left to go to the festival. I was in a hurry and didn't get enough step by step shots but believe it or not this is pretty simple if you can dutch braid.

 I started out with damp hair and applied gel separating it on the left side. Then I dutch braided down leaving a small amount of hair in a few sections, out of the braid for the accent twist.

 When I had braided back both sides, I secured the ends with clear elastics and put them together. Taking the ends first I rolled them into a bun going towards the left side and secured with bobby pins. Then I made Twist Braids out of the sections I left out (about 4) and secured with clear elastics.

 I took the one closest to the back and kinda of stuffed it behind the bun and secured with a bobby pin.

 The second Twist Braid I did the same thing with.

 The third and fourth Twist Braids I put on the opposite side of the bun and secured with bobby pins.

 And this is the end result! I love the way it looks on her dark hair :) The blue flower just adds enough color too.

We hope you like this style! We will be posting some more Renaissance Hairstyles soon so keep a look out for the instructions on how to do these fun Renaissance Styles!
