darchildreThings I am learning about stringing beads in my hair:
- OMG, still totally fun. I am just utterly thrilled. I know that's ridiculous, but man, I love having pretty shiny things in my hair.
- Translucent beads may retain their color when strung on elastic or cord and worn as jewelry but they tend to fade a bit when strung among way too much thick brown hair. Alas.
- Opaque white beads, on the other hand, make an almost startlingly stark contrast to my hair. I'm not sure if I like that or not.
- Most of the beads I have, I bought because I wanted to make jewelry with them. Thus, they are colors that a) appeal to me and b) look good on me, which means that, among other things, they were selected to complement my hair. And thus are mostly warm colors and blacks and browns. Unless I put all of my hair in beads (which would take hours and hours, oh my god), they kinda disappear.
- I need to buy more beads. More blues, I think.
