Elf Braids

[Haldir]

Has anyone ever tried to do Elvish-looking hairstyles? I've done a Legolas / Haldir one before, but the braids were really hard to do.. since they weren't normal braids. But that was when my hair was really long, and I didn't actually leave the house with my hair like that.

Here's a site where you can find loads of braiding styles --> www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/

And just to spare you from searching around the site...

wow that's cool! i'd love to have the Haldir braids but my hair is not correct for it >_> it's too thick and wavy, plus too much natural curl at the end, that's not Elven hair i'm afraid

[Haldir]

Oh well if you straighten it a bit, it could look like Galadriel's! I've always wanted wavy hair! : (

[Mrs Haldir]

i actually want to straighten my hair. lol oh good you want to trade then? XD

When I was growing my hair longer, I used to braid the sides back. That was the only way my hair could be tamed! And yes, it was inspired by the Legolas look, but not for beauty reasons. For safety actually. Much welding is going on at my work and I don't want to end up having rasta curls because it didn't stay under my helmet. ;D

Oooh yeah! You're some sort of engineer, right Eya? And hey... that's really true.. I could always do that when I'm in Science class. The teacher always forces me to put my hair up, even though it looks ridiculous. But then I always say "Hey, it's my hair! I'm responsible if it burns up or sets on fire. Here, I'll even sign a paper for you stating that you're not responsible, sir." And of course he ignores that and makes me do it anyway.

But hey, that gives me an idea! Thanks Eyalan
