Title: This is what I get for not dampening hair first

I get the Spring Nebulae Flame. That's what I'm calling this bun. I don't know why I didn't spritz with rosewater before putting it up but viola! this is what I ended up with.

I really love these holosticks.

Now, I resized this photo to 50% before hosting it on tinypic.
How much do you guys shrink your photos?

Sorry it's still so big!

Funky! And holosticks are great! *loves the holo finish*

Hmmm...I don't resize it by using percents. My Paintshop resizes by pixel size. I first zoom the picture to 100% (for some reason, my paintshop likes to show the picture first zoomed to a smaller size than it actually is), then I use resize option and usually resize it to around 300 something pixels. I think it's important to zoom to 100% first, because then you see the real size and don't get surprises.

I love it!!! Looks so funky and casual as if you didn't spend an inordinately amount of time doing it! Which is awesome!!! :o :D ;D

Vitrail beads are soooo yummie aren't they? Look how they sparkle in the photo! :o

You know, all your lovely updos put me to shame, my hair looks always so messy and full of flyaways and never smooth and I don't think I'll ever dare post a pic! ;D

NO! YOU MUST SHARE A PICTURE OF YOUR HAIR!!! I'll come over there and steal your hairsticks if you don't. 8)

I love it when a style goes awry but looks better than the original plan! Of course I can almost never duplicate the style again. ???
Spring Nebulae Flame goes to Sakina!

I'd love to see photos from EVERYONE on these boards!
There's so much beautiful hair to be seen. We are all works in progress, and I find it very heartening to see others hair here. It always inspires me to try new styles and to not give up on my own journey!
