I don't think I can post a picture yet but..... I was getting so bored of the same old pony tail, so I decided to try to put my hair in a braid. I was suprised that it actually all went in! Now I have an itsy bitsy braid (it's only 1.5 inches long). But it's a braid nonetheless!!!! I haven't been able to wear a braid in almost 10 years. Yahoo!

I was so excited I had to share. Updos, here I come!!!!:cheese:

Welcome to LHC and congrats on your first braid! May I suggest a Dutch braid? It looks like a braid going all the way down your head, and the hairs that don't make it to the English braid will be secure in the Dutch.

You're well and truly on your way to long hair now! Just imagine that braid a year from now! :cheese:

When you are able to post photos, please do post one of your braid. It will be great to look at during your future growth. :)

Congrats! If you host the photo elsewhere on the internet (like Photobucket) you can post it in a thread. I felt great the first time I could do a braid. Next is the possible curse of measuring growth by new braid bumps.

Thanks everyone for your support and motivation! I tried to tell my DH how excited I was that I can actually braid my hair and he was like: "hmm.....uh...that's nice hon".

It's so wonderful that there are so many people who understand why I'm so thrilled that I can do my hair in a silly braid. These little milestones are awesome!

Thanks for the advice. I'm not quite sure what a Dutch braid is. I'll have to do a search for it.

You have to post a picture. Little braids are so cute. And I don't mean that in a condescending manner; they really are nice. :)
