I didn't find hairstyles for curly hair.. It's discrimination! SO kidding.. *grin* My hair is fairly easy to fix, though - I've been doing pin (barrel) curls a LOT lately, because they're easy.

[Chinadoll]

I am enjoying finding styles I DO NOT have to curl my hair for.

This one is fun, but I'm going to angle the hair stick next time.

The little girl I am babysitting today loves to have her hair fixed so I did the chinese bun  ( I had to use a colored pencil--no chopsticks...lol) and it looks adorable!

[alohilani]

I have curly hair; it refuses to lay flat and behave. *grin*

I have curly hair too but it has gotten so long now that it's much less curly due to the weight.  When it was only bra-strap length it was really curly, now that it's halfway between my behind and my knees, it's much straighter... 

[Chinadoll]

Try the Chinese bun at an angle.

It rocks.

When it was only bra-strap length it was really curly,

What vivid word pictures you paint.

[*Christi*]

What's that supposed to mean??  That's how long my hair was!!  LOL  Everyone says that, dork!

His mind's in the gutter, that's all. *grin*

[Chseeads]

I've never heard anybody say that before.   

[Amelia Bedelia]

[alohilani]

*grin* I'm teasin', Seth...

[Amelia Bedelia]

[Chinadoll]

i'm LOVIN the chinese bun too!  i started doin a small side part/sweep in the front with the chinese bun, and have gotten soooooooooo many compliments!  tryin to give my hair a break from the curling iron and freeze-it for a while.  one thing i love is that i can even do this if my hair is damp/wet.  i need to buy some more hair sticks though.... right now i only have a pair of silver w/rhinestones, and black w/rhinestones.  i tried doing it with some decorative chopsticks a friend brought me from tiawan several years ago, but they are too long (stick out too far on the sides).

When we went to the mall last week I picked up 4 pair of chopsticks at Claire's.  They have a really good selection at a reasonable price.  They had a sale, buy 1 get 1 50% off.  Regular price was 4.50.  4 pairs cost me like $12 dollars.  I prefer the ones without stones, but that's just me.  I like the ones that just kind of "blend" in my hair so they're not too noticeable.  .........

I tried the braided version of the chinese bun, I really liked it but it pulled more so it gave me a headache...........ughhhh

[acjmom]

i really LOVE how light my hair feels in the chinese bun!  and it's great as a casual do, or for sundays

I have gotten SO many compliments on the chinese bun.  I have probably 4 or 5 pair of chopsticks but I went to Claire's this weekend and bought 2 more.  I did the angled chinese bun like Nai suggested for church on Sunday night... REALLY cute!!  Josh usually prefers my hair big and curly but he likes this hairdo!!

[Chinadoll]

I did that French twirl thing the other day too...    That was fab.   My hair actually worked at it!      

I also tried the triple coil bun -- that takes a bit more doing but it does look good when it works.   

Another variation on the Chinese bun -- I did this Sunday night -- placed it on the side and securely pinned it and then pulled the stick.   Voila!   Still looked good, but no stick.   My neck is kind of short and I need to go get more Obento (Japanese lunch box) sticks.   I wore my anime type ones last night -- the cream ones with a little girl and a dog on them.

I reccomend a Japanese grocery or whatever and you can find some FAB sticks for a few dollars.

There's more Chinese buns in here than at a Chinese bakery.

Ok... I tried the chinese bun a new way and LOVE it!!!

First let me say that when Nai said to angle the sticks, I assume she meant to put the sticks in parallel to each other and off kilter, ie I put them in at about a 60 degree angle.  cute cute cute

What I did last night was put the chopsticks in like an X and then weave the hair around the 4 ends instead of 2.  It looks much weavier and simply adorable!!

Seth, HUSH... You have NO hair, why are you even in here??

[myhaloisintheshop]

Anybody want to post pics of their hair in the chinese bun?

[Chseeads]

I HAVE HAIR, thank you very much.....most of it's just not on my head, that's all....
