It's more 'obvious' than Julia von Boehm's but easier and neater, which suits my personality better (and I love big hair clips) - Without wishing to sound too sceptical, I really don't see how Julia's 'do' can be done with just three hair pins. If she would only show us?

After about 5-7 tries, I've mastered a sort-of-Julia-von-Boehm-French-Twist, however there's still room for improvement ;)

One note for anyone trying: I also used three cork screw bobby pins in addition to regular ones, as I have very long and heavy hair, which regular bobby pins hardly can hold up.

I always struggle with creating my updos but I find when I can let go of trying to get it "just right" things start to work themselves out!

I have to say that I love the content on this blog - the profile on Didier Malige was so informative and interesting - thank you.

I recently made a post about my experience at Home House (a private members club in London) that you might be interested in - here's the link: http://www.gusssygirl.blogspot.com
