After many frustrated hours, cramped fingers, and tangled hair, I've finally managed to put my hair in a french braid down the back of my head! I'm so proud of myself, and I'm dreading when I'm going to have to take it out! I do think I'll be able to do it again, though. I've done it twice now, and I must say, I'm getting pretty good!
Last night, I was watching TV. My neck was so hot and I was getting claustrophobic behind my hair. I decided to put it in one braid in the back. I did, but it was still on my neck. I didn't feel like shoving it into a bun, and I wanted to try something new, so I decided to try french braiding it. First I tried doing a french brain on the side of my head into a ponytail, but that just didn't work. I'd never tried doing a french braid down the back of my head before. I went for it. I started, and then I didn't want to let go. It felt right so far, but of course I didn't do it in front of a mirror (that's just how smart I am), so I couldn't really see what it looked like. Also, another one of my genius ideas was trying to french braid while I was lying down on the couch. That made it easier to do the top of my head, but I didn't realize how much neck muscle it took to hold my head off of the end of the couch. By the time I was finished and put the hairband in, my neck was aching, my hair felt like it had been ripped out of my head, and my fingers were cramped up. I looked in the mirror, and was surprised to find that it had actually worked! I didn't have any extra hair on my neck, just the braid on my head. My hair isn't long enough to have any extra braid after the french braid on my head. I was so happy that I was able to do a french braid, but then this morning I had to re-do it. I was actually pretty surprised that I could do it again at all, and even more surprised that todays was better!

I am going to have to have you show me how to do that; my poor daughter is sick of my "pony tail only" skills.
