This one turned out pretty cool, but I had a hard time feeling psyched about it because I failed at 2 different hairstyles before giving up and trying it as a last resort. 1 outta 3 ain’t bad though, right?
The styles I couldn’t manage to pull off were the Crowning Braid (my hair is too effing long and pinning it up just looked like crap) and the Gibson Roll—which I really just can’t figure out for the life of me. Grrr…
Is anyone out there a master of the Gibson Roll? I’m in need of some pro-tips because I’m determined to check it off the list before my Braids, Buns and Twists challenge is over. Anyone, anyone?
Pay no attention to that bobby pin sticking out from the middle…

Nice work! How frustrating is it when you see something, then it just doesn’t work for your hair?
Super frustrating! Next on my list is the Fishtail Braid which should work really well for my hair type. Stay tuned!
That book looks great, I’ll have to check it out! I made it a project of mine to finally learn to french braid last year and got caught up looking at hairstyles in the time warp known as pintrest. My greatest nemesis was this “hair bow” http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8073/8316893610_302c76e507.jpg
Maybe you can figure it out!
It’s an awesome book, I highly recommend it. The “Hair Bow” is actually featured in Braids, Buns, and Twists, I’ll be sure to let you know if I give it a try!
