Lucy Hairstyle (randomness for girls...lol)

So I have not had work today! Well I should say, I have not had paying work today. I watered the garden and helped around the house instead. 'Twas lovely. :) And since last night a friend came over and we watched Prince Caspian (don't ask my opinion, you might not want to know!), and one of the (few) really good parts was Lucy and Susan's hair (haha but it's almost true), I set out today to copy one of the styles. Since it was really easy. :) It's the first real "Narnia" style, and I noticed it first when the Pevensies and Trumpkin are rowing up through the canyon. But Lucy at least wears the style for much of the movie.

I'm sending you to a link for the first part just because it's hard for me to take pictures of myself. Part your hair in the middle, take a small section from each side, and do two mini rope braids. Keep going until you've done more than enough to go around to the back of your head. Then put a ponytail holder on each end and loop them back behind your head. Like this...
...and put a ponytail holder (or something more cool looking if you have it) where you want to hold the braids.

Then take out the other two holders and undo the "untied" part of the ropes. Redo a section of the rope "tails" as another braid. I believe it's a three-strand braid in the movie, but I did a rope because it's easier. And did a terrible job anyway...
Ta-da! :) Easy, and rather cute, especially if you can find something to replace the ponytail holders.

Anyways. Enough randomness for one day. I'm going to try to do some photography this week; we'll see if it happens. :)

I love this style! And it looks great on your hair....maybe I can try it out on Alison. I don't know how to do the ropes, though, so would have to learn that first.

Glad you liked it! I think it would look adorable on Alison! :) The rope braids are really easy once you get the hang of them; I think they're easier than 3-strand braids when I'm doing my own hair.
