Cosplay styles - Lúthien half-up

In a recent post, I talked about the braid I came up with for Lúthien's cosplay. In this one, I'll be posting some pics loose variation, which is the style I usually wear when I'm cosplaying Lúthien Tinúviel from Tolkien's Silmarillion: hair loose with heatless curls on the ends and a simple braided half-up with leaf ribbons, gems and/or small white flowers.

• First variation (May 2014):

3-strand side braids braided with leaf ribbons and gathered at the back with a leaf clasp. Small green gems as decoration.

 

 

Texture: Subtle braidwaves and bendy rollers curls (which had transformed into very loose waves by the time this pic was taken):

• Second variation (April and December 2014):

Lúthien is usually described as wearing flowers intertwined in her hair, so I finally got some small plastic flowers  and added them to the half-up. I went for two versions, one with the side braids with the leaf ribbon, and another one without the leaves, 3-strand side braids gathered at the back of the head in a half-up and adorned with some of these white flowers:

This is a very blurry pic, but hey, hair's looking long :)!

 

 

 

Texture is, once again, braidwaves and heatless bendy rollers curls in the ends. Contrary to rag/bandanna curls, bendy rollers curls make my hemline look quite thinner than it actually is, which isn't bad per se, mind, but seeing as I unfortunately am quite thick-hemline-obsessed, it does bug me a little xD

• Third variation (September 2015):

Very similar to the second one, but with more flowers and leaf ribbons. Variation with braid here.
