I know pretty much everyone on here has a braid, and most of them are beautifully thick and more than long enough to use as a garrotte or a climbing rope if necessary. My braid is not like that. It's short, it's a bit thin, and it has lots of little ends sticking out from all the layers, but ...

... it hangs down my back now, instead of sticking straight out and making me look like Olive Oyl!

I am so excited! I have never, ever in my entire life had a real braid that was long enough to actually hang down!

Woohoo, me !!! :cheese:

Okay, now ... since y'all are being so nice and supportive and are asking ...

Keep in mind, please, that I took this especially for you, right after weeding and playing with the dogs in the yard! (I do feel it's important to prepare properly for photos.) :D


ETA: Me, too, xrosiex! I've always wanted a nice long braid! And this silly little thing is the first step!

grats! that happened to me about a week ago too. I finally decided to try to put my hair in a braid again and it actually worked! I had really short layers so my braid never really stayed but it does now! well, except for a lock of hair on my left that keeps falling out no matter what D:< annoying bugger, I can't wait for my hair to grow longer

I have that, too! That's why I still have to use the clips on the side - otherwise it just drives me crazy. :p


Congrats on your braid. I can only imagine how exciting it is for you.

Hang in there, Garnet66. Your day will come. :cheer:
