What I did here was make one french braid with just the very front of my hair. Then I did three french braids on each side, running up towards the middle part, and one regular braid at the bottom. I wrapped an elastic around each "pair" of french braids where they met in the middle. I think this would look really really cool with lots of very small french braids, but I don't have the patience...this alone took quite a while.

This was kind of a by-product of the first hairstyle. I just wrapped pieces of leather around each pair of braids to make them stand up and then wrapped elastics around the leather-wrapped braids to hold them there. I added the hair from each new pair of braids to the first braid as I went along until it was all braided into one. Then I used a couple claw clips to hold the big braid at the nape of my neck. It was pretty wobbly and unstable, but you have to admit it looks interesting. ;-)

Hmm, where to start...First I made a part from the crown of my head down to my ears on each side...kind of like a half ponytail but higher up. I put the rest of the hair (what would be the 'down' part of a half-ponytail) into a bun just to get it out of the way. Then I separated the front into 3 sections, one front part and a smaller one on each side. I clipped the two side parts back out of the way and combed the middle part down over my forehead. Then I divided that into 12 sections (I didn't think I could handle more than that) and put a (hair friendly) rubber band around each section about 6 inches down to keep them separate. The hardest part of the whole thing was not being able to see what I was doing because of the curtain of hair in front of my face and because of not being able to wear my glasses. Then I unclipped the sides and took a piece from one side, weaving it under and over my 12 front sections until I got to the other side of my head. Then I clipped it there, and did the same with the next section, and so on until I had all the hair woven so that it came down to about my eyebrows. Then I took 3 of my original 12 strands from each side and pulled them to the side and braided them a few inches. I took the middle 6 remaining strands and did a 6-strand weaving braid down to my nose. Then I split it into two 3-strand sections and braided those a few inches as well. Then I took one of the braids from my nose and one of the braids to the side and braided them together, and did the same on the other side for another few inches. I took down the back hair and added small pieces of that to the side braids coming toward the back of my head from the "mask" part so that they were lace braids for a few inches. I didn't do the little pieces hanging down...looks pretty weird with curly hair and it looked messy enough. I grabbed a handful of the back hair and made a normal three strand braid and put it in front out of the way. Then I got my trusty wire coat hanger and bent it into the shape I wanted and put it against the back of my head. I wrapped what was left of the back hair around it in a figure 8 style to hold it there and pinned it all really well. I got some tiny little claw clips I had and clipped the braids that came from the mask around it on each side so that they met in the middle. I crossed them and brought them down to the figure 8-wrapped hair and pinned them. I didn't do the little pieces feeding into it, that was a bit too much of a challenge for me. Then I took that last regular braid I had made and brought it up to the middle of the wire, clipped it, and brought it back down to the base of the wire and pinned that too.

Well, like I said...tupperware. I just duct taped the tupperware to a water bottle, stuck it in the middle of my head, and pulled the hair around it. I used a hair elastic at the end to hold it, and just pulled the ends around into a little bun. I tied ribbons in a couple places around the whole thing to keep it together better. You have to do the whole thing bent over, and then stand up reeeeally carefully.

Unless your hair is at least knee-length, you're probably going to have to cheat like I did...Braid the first few inches of your hair, then tie it off with an elastic. Separate the long braid tail into two sections, braiding each one. Use one to form the loop/noose part of the braid, tucking the end back under the elastic. Wrap the second one around the top of the noose, using pins or another elastic to secure it.

I really was trying to make this a french twist...I just think I had a little too much hair for it. You could probably get the same look by making a loose, poofy french twist. I just started twisting the hair loosely and folded it and crammed it under as best I could. Kind of like one of those accidental things.

You really can't go wrong with this. Just start braiding until you run out of patience. The smaller the braids the longer it's going to take you; I save this for looong car trips when I don't have anything else to do. The only thing you have to watch for is that the braids lie flat and even, otherwise it looks scraggly.

Make two pigtails, then twist the pigtail until it starts to curl on it's own. Start coiling it around, pinning it as you go, until you're out of hair. Try to keep it going straight up; it looks cooler.:-)

Hehe, unless you have some hat packaging laying around, this would be kind of hard to replicate. I guess any large soft object would work, a blanket for example.

Make two pigtails, twist them, and curl them into the horn shape. Then pin them really well.

Get some kind of cloth (I think I used a pair of rolled up shorts) and pull the front hair over it. Pin it or use a couple jaw clips to hold it there, then pull the back hair into a bun or do whatever with it. I used a couple pieces to wrap all the way over the top to hold it better.

Part your hair and put it into two pigtails. Then take one pigtail and make a loop, holding it with an elastic. Make a second loop underneath it and pin it or use another elastic. I usually leave a small piece out to wrap around the loops and across the middle.
