Braiding

Braiding is easy just follow these simple instructions.

Step 1 Parting hair
First of all take the ponytail I told you how to make and
part the hair into 2 equal sections using a center parting.

Step 2 Separate it
Now holding one of the 2 sections of hair you have made on either side of the head, separate that hair into 3 equal sections

Step 3 Criss Cross
Now holding one of the 2 sections of hair you have made on either side of the head, separate that hair into 3 equal sections
- one in your right hand
- one in your left
- with the remaining section in the center
Cross one section of hair over the center section and
then do the same with the other section, pulling
the hair as tightly as you want for the look you are going for.

Step 4 Continue & Fasten
Continue doing this, crossing one side then the other over what always becomes a new middle section, until the hair is braided.
Then fasten about 2 inches from ends with a covered elastic.




Tips
• Try doing this on wet hair or just spray the hair with
a little water to make the hair easier to work with.
• Once you've got that down try doing a braid without
the hair being in a ponytail first.

Gum Removed Thanks!!!

Reading your great blog was so helpful to me. My 5-year old granddaughter Fiona is visiting me in Ireland. Her Mum is flying over from Canada to visit and take Fiona back to Canada. So... of course you can imagine the high excitement of Mum's expected arrival. And what did Fiona do? She managed to get bubble gum or just gum all squished into her bangs. ooooooooooooooh... my poor heart.

I was threshing around in an agony... thinking, oh! the bangs will have to be cut off, and what a sight her Mum will find on her arrival!

Then I found your blog.

I took your advice and applied a liberal amount of peanut butter to the effected area, extending out about a quarter of an inch, making sure to cover all of the gum space. Then I gently rubbed the area between my thumb and fingertips. The gum loosened its 'stickiness' and I slowly began pulling the gum from her hair.

We managed to remove the gum, not cutting any hair off.

And smiles were restored in time for Mum's arrival.

Thanks so much, now I want to order your DVD to give my daughter so she can cut all her kids hair.
