Franny's Long Hairstyles

The Gibson Tuck is a lovely Edwardian updo that is quick and easy to do and very protective for hair. Today I have added a video with step-by-step instructions for this style.

I have added 2 new hairstyles to my Updos page.  One is The Southern Tease, which I adapted for my length and hairtype.  I made an instructional video to show you how to do it, step by step.  I like this style, as it's very neat-looking and keeps the hair contained.  So it's both protective and pretty.

I also added the 3 Knot Updo.  This is a more casual, messy style. 

On my Updos page, I have photos of a Wrapped Hairstick Bun.  Today I have added a video tutorial on how to do this quick, easy and versatile style.  I hope you like it.

To any visitors who are Canadian like myself, I wish you a happy Canada Day tomorrow.

There is a new 5 strand braid half-updo on my Half-Ups page.  It is a great style to try if you want to learn how to do a 5 strand braid, but aren't ready to try a French 5 strand half-updo.

I have also added photos of my hair done in loose spiral curls. They are on the Everyday Flair page. It took me only 90 minutes to do, and I used no heat.  The curls lasted not only all day, but were still there to a lesser extent, even the next day. Even I was shocked, as my hair does not ordinarily hold a curl well.

So it's summer as of today, at last!  I hope that everyone is enjoying the first day of the season.

Today I've added a new video to my Videos page.  It is a demonstration of both how to make a Cinnamon Bun Updo and how to properly use hair sticks to hold an updo.

I hope that everyone is headed into a wonderful weekend!

I've been threatening to do it for so long, but only now have I made my first instructional hairstyle video.  It's on my new Videos page.

I am demonstrating step-by-step instrctions for the French Twist hairstyle in this video, as my hair is about to grow out of this method of making a French Twist.  I will do the longer hair method of making a French Twist once my hair is just a bit longer.

I hope that it helps someone learn this quick and easy but elegant style.  Be well everyone!

I have added another style to the Updos page.  It's called "Franny's Easy Summer Updo".  It is quick and easy, and requires no twisting.  There is a link under the photos to step-by-step instructions.

Woohoo, it's June!!!

I have changed the design of Franny's Long Hairstyles.  After three years, I felt that it needed an update.  It might take some getting used to, but I really needed a change.  All of the text and photos are the same, and I'll be working on laying out the photos in a more pleasing manner in the next day or so.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

In early April,  I began writing a blog about my most recent journey in growing my hair.  Since my length was on hold due to damage for close to a year and a half, I really have been starting over since mid-January.

I though it would be a good idea to write every day about my current long hair journey, my goals, my struggles, and enjoying the little milestones along the way.

I am including hair care advice, some hair style instruction and I will be discussing my favourite hair accessories and other hair products that work for me.  I plan on making some instructional videos as well, for things as simple as learning how to put in a hair stick and more difficult things like some of the more difficult hairstyles and braids.

I welcome any and all comments and suggestions.

Have a great weekend!

Well, it's update time, and I've posted my May length progress photos.  I'm quite delighted with the past 3 months' growth.  Check out the Progress Photos page. 

It's May already!  Where does the time go?
