it's Official: Can you braid your own hair?

martha · 06-17-2003, 10:06 PM

Can you braid your own hair and still have it look half way decent? I decided to learn to do that this summer. It's braided in two braids right now. I think it looks rather fetching.

My friend who took me out for dinner tonight didn't have an opinion. Boys!

A friend of mine braids her own hair all the time and it looks great, but then she has nice straight hair. Unlike me.

I can't braid my hair to save my life. I can only put it in a pony tail.
I'm a dud.

**Bonochick** · 06-17-2003, 10:22 PM

Nope...I suck at fixing my hair.

A friend of mine likes to braid my hair for me...too bad she lives 400 miles away.

This is how she did my hair the last time I saw her:

I can french braid my own but it takes a long time to get it to look good. I'm a perfectionsit.

I generally stay away from two braids though. Normally I look younger than I am, but with two braids I've been mistaken for 13.

I can't braid my own hair at all

**KhanadaRhodes** · 06-18-2003, 02:24 AM

yeah, i can braid my own hair. i've done it in two big braids, and i've also done little braids.

by the way, bonochick, what are you holding up and looking at in this picture?

Is a french braid where it starts at the top and goes into a normal plait at the ends? From working in a salon, I learnt how to do it

Once you master it, its easy.

beegee · 06-18-2003, 04:11 AM

yes i can.
i like a nice tight braided ponytail when i'm at work.

zonelistener · 06-18-2003, 06:07 AM

I could, that is, if I had the hair.

I braid my lacrosse stick strings....

Yes. I can french braid from the top. It takes lots and lots of practice to get it down.

FizzingWhizzbees · 06-18-2003, 04:21 PM

I can, but it doesn't usually look fantastic unless I take a lot of time over it.

najeena · 06-18-2003, 06:47 PM

A French braid by yourself? I admire those who can manage it, I go for a French twist myself. Easy.
