I’m starting to wonder whether I could offer a service by teaching people how to braid. I thought it was something pretty basic and never questioned that I could do it, but I’ve gotten so many comments on Desta’s hair and how amazing it is that I did it myself that I’m starting to wonder. Several people have said they have no idea how to braid. Wow. It’s really not that hard. Getting her parts straight is the hard part for me.
Here’s a couple of pictures from her latest braiding…
I can’t wait to get myself a fine-tailed comb to make those parts an easier job! I’ve french braided that front wispy part once and I’ll probably do it again sometime, but it also looks nice when I just spray it with some leave-in conditioner and make it curl up really nicely. The little braids that were sticking out at the sides were laying down nicely by morning after she slept with a bandanna on her head for the night. 🙂
Now to pluck up my courage enough to actually trim both her and Eli’s hair. Now that makes me quake!
