I can remember a conversation I had with a childhood friend. The last month of my pregnancy he called in complete and utter disbelief that I was pregnant. He said his mom had told him but he wouldn’t accept it as truth ’til he spoke with me personally. When he realized we weren’t trying to pull a fast one on him, he told me he would pray I had a boy. Goodness knows you need a boy, he told me.
Shamefully I admit I was secretly hoping for a boy. When her head popped out I wondered what in the heck I would do with that head-full-of-hair! But I vowed to take a different path from my mom who never learned how to braid despite having 6 girls! So last Monday I attempted and accomplished my first braid. Now as raggedy and broke down as this braid looks, I still have one up on my older sister who hasn’t quite grasped the concept. Just gotta get my technique down pat and it’s on!
Practice, practice, practice, that’s all you need to do.:-) Go on YouTube and see if there some braiding videos on there. I’m sure there are.
And that’s a beautiful head of hair there!:-)
thanks Rashunda,
i never even thought to search for braiding videos!
there are lots on youtube. had to search “cornrow” to find what i was looking for.
thanks again
Go you! That braid looks about as good as any I’ve ever done. My mother couldn’t braid, and I never really learned how to braid either.
Dee’s last blog post..Since I last blogged?
Looks like you did a good job. Just please promise me you’ll do the girl’s hair on a regular basis! I’m in torture over here with my 2 sisters who have only one daughter a piece and they’re too lazy/don’t care enough to do the girls’ hair on a regular basis.
