The Avocado Bun Video
September 19th, 2008 @ 11:54 am by Mrs. Avocado
After I posted about my bridesmaid birdcage veils, Miss Dumpling and Miss Sea Breeze asked how I did my hair for the veil modeling, and I decided to do a little video to show you how insanely easy it is. I’m sorry that the fan in the background is so loud and distracting, and that the quality of the video isn’t that great (I had to optimize it to a very low quality in order load it onto YouTube) but I was rather impressed with how fabulously my little Pia II handled my first attempt at video making.
Certainly let me know if you have any questions, and good luck with your own hair trials if you decide to do something similar for yourself on your big day!
Alas, don’t ask me why I started with “Today I am going to show you…” which makes it sound like I do this for a living or something. I have been watching too many late night infomercials while I plan my wedding. 
Will you be doing your own hair for your wedding?

Sooo cute! Great tutorial. I wish it would work with my superfine hair
Sweet! My hair is really thin and different lengths, but I’ll try it. I can’t believe how perfect your hair is. You rock, Avo!
you are so adorable! your voice and mannerisms are just what i pictured they would be (uh, not like i picture you or anything, er… haha!)
i’m totally going to try that the next time i have a fancy event. you’re too cute! thanks for thinking of the hive and doing this.
Miss Avocado you are so sweet! I was actually just watching this and you commented on my blog and it was like seeing you for real! And I loved the story and how you elbow suavacado. Boys are clueless about such things, eh? Funny how you both see ‘trendy’ as bad though!
Avo that was too cute and informative all rolled up into one! And perfect for a person like me… who never does anything with her hair
oh you’re the cutest thing ever! I loved it - I might actually do this!
I am a waitress and have to wear my hair up for work…. and it has to be either braided or in a bun, which gets boring! I LOVED your video! I am definitely going to try it out!!!
I will have you know that I went and did this to my hair this morning, and I am feeling QUITE special.
I am so trying this ‘do this weekend. Yes, I AM going to be doing my own hair for my wedding so I am really extra hoping (…er, something like that) that this will work with my thin hair. I think its longevity will for sure beat curling-iron curls in that Caribbean humidity. Avo, you ROCK!
Your hair is so lovely. I don’t think mine would behave half as well. I’m going to have to get me some bobby pins & give it a try.
You are too cute! I especially enjoyed your good luck wish at the end!
I’m totally going to try this! I have long long boring hair, and I can’t wait to make it look fab like yours.
I second…wait, tenth that sentiment: Miss Avo, you are just too adorable! Been bored with the hair lately, and you make it look so easy that I just might try… Thanks!
Very nicely done, with the youtube and the hairstyling and the posting. Tres Creative and completely, unflappably adorable.
PS- When I saw the title of this entry I thought it was like a workout video for my tush. A little disappointing that it wasn’t
Aw thanks everyone, you guys make me feel all nice and squishy inside with your sweet compliments.
@Mrs. Cream Puff: Doesn’t it make you feel all fancy?
@Miss Sea Breeze: I am sure it will look bee-u-tiful on you!
@Petra: Petra I am thoroughly freaking out right now! My little avocado self is demonstrating hair on the Glamour website. Is this what it feels like to be famous? Thanks for the tip!
[...] Remember this post? The one that featured a video that ended up on the Glamour beauty blog? [...]
you’re so cute! cool, i’m going to try this =)
