masterofmidgetsI did my first French braid! \o/
I've been trying to teach myself how to French braid for a few months now with very little progress, but I was bored tonight watching NCIS and needed something to do with my hands, so I thought I'd give it another shot. And I have met with great success!
...well, great is probably an overstatement. Moderate success. Success in some small measure. Evidence of potential success lying ahead. But while it may be messy and uneven looking, it is still a French braid, and way better than anything I've managed before. The principles are sound, it's just the technique needs some refining. I think I need to do it in fewer sections, for one thing, so it looks smoother down the back of my head. (also my hair looks kind of gross, but that's just because I already heavy-oiled it for the night before I decided to try this.)
