FaiziaJ's Two-For

One of my peeps (FaiziaJ) sent me a pic that she loved and wondered how to go about doing that particular hairstyle. I experimented and came up with two versions. One is really close, and the other is just really cool. So everyone thank FaziaJ for a two for one special...plus buns!

I'm always off topic. Did you make that top? It looks like something easy enough to make. I mean, just elastic and lace, right? Love it. Thanks for teaching to rope braid, btw. I used to plait the fibers of palm fronds to make cordage, but the rope braid (and its successor, the cable) is tighter and stronger. Hair, palm fronds, all the same when making animal traps.

@momlovestosing It's actually a sundress and , yes, I made it. It's a yard of that material that's sewn with elastic thread up top then just a pretty print all the way to the bottom. One seam up the back a ta-dah! a dress. I simply sewed some ribbon on for straps and that was that. I have since graduated to patterns, but these types of dresses are so easy and comfy, I'll probably be on the hunt for more pretty patterned material like this at some point.

Hi Torrin i must disagree with you,their is no age for pig tail or ladies with long hair.But one thing you have the most beautiful hair and the way you style and explain bravo your the BEST xx john long hair fan

Oh, I didn't say that I thought there was an age for pigtails...just that I get comments from random people that I'm "too old" for them. Like I told Nina, I'm old enough to tell them to take their opinion and stick it somewhere that isn't necessarily comfortable. :oP I, myself, love pigtails and wear them when I'm in the mood.

Hi! Love your friendly videos! You look adorable in pigtails!! I wear them almost everyday and it's because it's super humid here this time of year and windy (today)...bad combo for wild hair. LOL

On the 16th, I'm going to do one of those styles you shared before on Michaela's hair because she's going to an Awards banquet. :0)

[torrinpaige]

Oh I'm so excited..send me links to pics please? Pretty please? I also tend to wear my hair in pigtails from time to time, even though I'm "too" old. I'm old enough to tell haters that they can lump it. :o) Give congrats to Michaela for me! She's such a special girl. Both of your girls are.

I took the english braid style in a single braid and wrapped the access hair around the ponty tail holder to hide it pinned underneath.Took the folding and pinning of the masara and came up with an interesting elegant look ty torrin I love your tutorials they give me lots of ideas!!!!!!!!

1:09 You look so adorable when you fluff your pigtails forward! :D

You not too old for pigtails, they look adorable on you. I often were my hair in pigtails even if my husband calls me Pippi Longstockings.

That first braid looks like what i've always imagined a unicorn horn to look like. It's even the right golden color!
