Hair + Chain

[kerravonsen]

As requested, my hair chain (which I finished making yesterday) in my hair.


Click for full size.

The start of the braid is very messy, I'm now cringing that people are seeing it. I'm not very practiced at doing a single braid.

Edited to add:
There were 24 rings per colour (except silver and black, which have 18)

The colours of the chain are as follows:

* silver
* white
* glossy pink
* matt pink
* matt purple
* glossy purple
* lavender
* sky blue
* matt blue
* dark blue
* matt green
* glossy green
* mint
* matt yellow
* gold
* light orange
* dark orange
* glossy red
* matt red
* matt brown
* black

Which comes to 492 rings. The chain is about a metre long.

Yep, it's a rainbow.

That is absolutely gorgeous! Stunning! It would look amazing in a French braid too.

BTW I saw this recently and thought you might be interested.

Nobody's ever done my hair in a French braid, I wish I had someone who could. 8-(

Ooh, I haven't seen a handflower done with a five-pointed star before.

Oh, that's AWESOME! Do the links get caught in your hair? I'd be a little worried about that.

But it is beautiful--very shiny and colorful among your tresses. And I don't think your braid looks all that messy. It's hard to braid behind your own head!

Thanks!

I won't know until I undo it, but I was careful in closing the links to make it smooth, so I'm not really worried.

It's hard to braid behind your own head!

It is indeed.

It was fine. The only thing that caught, and only a little, were the bells at the bottom (you can't see them in the picture because they're hiding behind that bushy tuft of hair at the bottom).

Lovely chain, lovely hair. How long does the chain take to put on and take off? I'd imagine that it must be quite a lengthy process.

Thanks!

No more lengthy than braiding my hair. The chain is simply the third strand in the braid.

Now finally I can imagine it - and the chain in your beautiful hair is at the right place. What a treasure!
Your braid is wonderful!!!
