braid tutorial 1

So. I was overcome with a sudden passion to make a tutorial on how braids work and how to draw them so I did that last night.

The Ritual Duel Braid

I'm slowly building up a post around this idea I have that hair and braiding were of great importance for pre-Reform Vulcan and all the headcanons surrounding it. Tonight I felt in the mood of sketching Spock rocking one of them.

Vulcan warriors would wear this braid for an ancient ritual duel where the contenders must try to cut their opponent's braid with their lirpa blade, risking their lives in the process. The length of a warrior's braid was deeply important, since the longer it was the more skilled and practiced the warrior was perceived as, being that no metal blade had touched their hair in battle. It was a rare ritual to perform even back them, for deep offenses to one's honour or their kin.

Who in the shepards is good with hair? Who is willing to help MC do their hair if asked? Who is gentle with a brush and who brushes hair like a mum lol

Blade: is he good with hair? the results speak for themselves

but he is very gentle and tender about brushing and is good at braiding if you tell him it's the same principle as making a rope!

Trouble: he's not a good hair stylist, but he's happy to help brush your hair if asked! Just don't bring him into it if there's lots of complicated pins and structures involved. He's gentle with brushing and can fumble a ponytail or braid together well enough, but it will be crooked and will come out at some point

Tallys: probably the gentlest with hair of them all, she can style neat, simple things (braids and crowns or simple up-dos are fine, but not really complicated hairstyles or pompadours or anything like that). having your hair brushed by her is like going to a head spa and you are very likely to fall asleep! She's very happy to do it, too, it's probably one of her favorite things to do as a couple!

Shery: she's good at doing hair and is gentle about it, though perhaps a little over-anxious about hurting you and will check in too frequently with, "Does this hurt?" "Did I pull too hard? I'm so sorry!!" She can manage lots of different hairstyles though, it's very impressive!

Riel: he is not the person to ask for you to do or handle your hair, lol. He wouldn't enjoy it and I suspect neither would you... the concept of getting your ✨ hair oils ✨ all over his hands is distressing to him. It is definitely not something he'd willingly do and he would be frankly puzzled that you'd ask, there's like 20 staff members and servants on hand at his house at any given time that are more suited for helping you with that!

Chase: he's surprisingly gentle with hair and is good at doing hairstyles too! He takes more time with it when he's intimate lovers with someone (and probably uses it as a method of seduction) but can do it for platonic friends too!

Red: he's gentle, but unpracticed; he could manage a braid just from mentally reasoning through it, but please don't ask him to do anything more complicated than that lol

Ayla: she'll reluctantly help you if you're really close, but I don't think you'd want her to, she brushes hair like a mom 🥲 and don't ask her to do anything fancy with it, either!!!

Briony: she's gentle at hair brushing but hopeless about doing hair, even if you ask her to do a ponytail, which you'd think she'd be quite good at... it's like tying a tie on someone else, it's different than her habitual, unthinking movements and ends up giving her the yips! She's just neutral about being asked to do it, though, it's not something she particularly enjoys but she enjoys the closeness and intimacy it conveys (as long as they take turns)!

Lavinet: I mentioned this in this ask and this one, but although Lavinet enjoys braiding/doing hair for fun, she doesn't like being asked to do so by someone, as she views it as a bit servantile or demeaning unless she offers or does it of her own volition first! Like she's fine if you come up to her and say, "Hey, does my hair look okay for this ball?" and then she'll sort of sigh and fuss at it and comb it more neatly or style it better, tutting all the while, but she won't really like it if you approach her and say, "Could you sit behind me and braid my hair into a French plait?" --Something she knows you're perfectly capable of doing yourself, but presumably just don't feel like it. She's not used to doing hair on other people at first, but with practice she becomes quite the expert at it. She doesn't really enjoy brushing hair though as a bonding/intimacy activity and would prefer for it to be the other way around, and when she does it, she's quite firm, neither particularly gentle nor really hard!

Halek: gentle with hair and surprisingly adept at doing hairstyles, too, probably the best out of all the guys!

This morning's project/test is a six strand skjoldehamn braid with 4 threads per strand for bulk.

The goal is trim testing for tunics. This pattern is taken from the Skjoldehamn find, with instructions from Wyrd Kindred. Will be tossing this in the wash on hot to see how it shrinks on the recommendation of ye tumblr SCAdia hive mind. 19 inches at start

Hottest setting inside of a delicate bag. Lost almost 2 inches but holy crap look at those ends! @sca-nerd Update: I'm not sure if this is a good idea to use on the linen tunics. I think I'll limit this to my hand wash items only.

Something magical happened this year🤭

I'm 24 years old,

and finally learned how to French braid

It's so silly, but growing up with an older brother and not many girlfriends and being a big tomboy in my teens, I just never learned to do it.

I was envious of other girls growing up with a sister or girly best friends doing each other's hair.

Now I'm in my mid twenties and slowly started practicing every night before going to bed.

It's silly, but I'm proud of myself and I hope I made the child in me happy as well 🩷
