Greek Key Braids

Hello friends,

     Today I wore my new Greek-island print shirt, and I wanted to fix my hair in a style to match.  So I put my hair into a ponytail and braided it in two Greek key braids.  Then I looped my braids up to a length that I liked, and pinned them in place with bobby pins and a few small clips.
     A Greek key braid is a regular 3-strand English braid, but one of the strands is extremely tiny.  That simple technique is what gives this braid such a unique look.

     And since this is a  post about a Greek-inspired hairstyle, here are a few pictures from a friend of mine who is actually from Greece~ so beautiful <3

 

Short Braided Ponytail

Hi everybody,

I hope you are having a lovely week and staying safe wherever you are.  Today I fixed my hair in a waterfall braid, then put my hair into a ponytail.  I braided my ponytail and wrapped my braid up into a short ponytail.  A short ponytail is a nice change from my usual bun hairstyles.  Thank you for coming to see my pictures!

  

Short ponytail for wet hair

Hi everyone,

     I was so sleepy last night that I decided to put off washing my hair till this morning, which meant of course that I started the day off with wet hair.  But that's okay, because I was able to put my hair up into this short ponytail that lasted all day long and kept my hair protected.  My hair has a different texture to it when it is wet, which gives this short ponytail a great new look.  Thank you for coming to see my new pictures!  Make sure to follow my Facebook page, too :-)

Audrey Hepburn Short Ponytail

Hi everybody,

     I saw a picture online of Audrey Hepburn with her hair in a short ponytail.  She is always such a beauty, but this picture was especially pretty and fun.  Today I tried out a similar version with my own hair.  I made a side part, then put my hair into a low ponytail.  I braided the length of my ponytail loosely to keep tangles at bay, then folded my braid up and clipped it in this short ponytail hairstyle.
     Thank you for following my blog!  I hope you are having a wonderful year so far <3
