first off I must say I am very envious of you. your hair is really really long and straight. I rarely see any girls my [our] age that has long and healthy hair like yours.

truepeacenik beat me to it, that's the herringbone braid that you're describing. I've never got the hang of that before I cut my hair short.
hmm, I guess that's my new goal! getting rid of my layers so I can do that style.

I've never been able to get that one figured out yet either.
I finally figured out how to get a french braid to work just a few months ago.

It's really easy.
1) You divide your hair into 2 equal sections.
2) Take a small section from the outer edge of the right side, cross it to the inside edge of the left section.
3) Then take a small section from outer edge of the left side, cross it to the inside edge of the right section.

Repeat 2 then 3 to the end.
