September 29th, 2011 at 7:27 amLove this video. Was looking up tutorials on YT for my sister and I totally agree that they are really confusing! We tried twice on her hair and gave up but I’m definitely going to recommend she watch this video x

September 29th, 2011 at 8:37 amMorning Lady – you got some real nice braids! So – the bit you cross over can be any chunk of hair? Not the same chunk each time? I may attempt this one day. Pretty.
Also – just ended up watching your ‘Bangs goes Running’ vid as well (how did I miss that one?). Thinking about your tattoo – should be ‘I will not stop’
Never stop.
Loads of love xx C

September 29th, 2011 at 9:52 amThat looks fab! Although I think I have to master putting a normal pleat in my hair first before I try this.
And getting to listen to David Bowie first thing on a Thursday morning, yes. Yes.

September 29th, 2011 at 2:58 pmI’ve always wondered how to do a fishtail braid and watching youtube videos didn’t help me at all – it rather confused me. About 15 minutes ago I watched your video and now I have a fishtail braid and I have to say: Perfect instruction! Thank you!

September 30th, 2011 at 10:08 am[...] One again breaking the rules of the follows I have to mention @bangsandabun she epitomises what it means to make things happen. Apart from the fact that that Muireann Campbell is the best rapper alive. I have loved the fact that she has started Team Bangs on the Run this is the second time around that I have watched the twitter progress of an amazing group of women who have transformed themselves physically, and done something brilliant because of twitter. You can see the latest Team Bangs on the Run Race Report this time around the lovely ladies did a half marathon *stands up does solo Mexican Wave and shouts awesome*. It is so inspiring to see people train and achieve something brilliant. Oh, and on top of that she is one a fishtail plait ninja – go see her in action on that one now! [...]

October 6th, 2011 at 12:21 pmThanks for this Bangsy! I was eyeing your braid up enviously at the Metropolitan as I too once spent a whole weekend in front of YouTube with my hair in knots yelling, “BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!” This is so much clearer. Going to give it another shot.
