[misspurdy06]

I'm jealous even though I'm the one who did the braid.

Oh that is beautiful.

You did a wonderful job.

I don't blame you I'm jealous too.

[Fairlight63]

WOW You did such a good job! Your Mom has very beautiful hair.

[Tisiloves]

Ohh, pretty!

I could never do that on myself, either, well done for doing it on your mum :thumbsup:.

[Carolyn]

Beautiful! That is one of the coolest braids I've ever seen.

[lmfbs]

Wow looks amazing! Much neater than the one I tried on myself (avatar)

[Lostsoule77]

That is gorgeous! I'm jealous that you can even do that!

[Tia2010]

Wow! That looks really cool..and your mom has great hair! :)

[akilina]

Wow! So pretty!
Ugh I feel like a loser. I am a hairdresser but I can not do a waterfall braid AT ALL, let alone something like this.

and that a lace braid? I thought with a waterfall, you drop pieces and pick up from one side like a lace, and a lace you only pick up, not drop? (I could be totally wrong! :/)

The top section at the crown is a waterfall braid.

[Demi-Plum]

That is freaking amazing! Great job!

[lmfbs]

My bad, totally missed that.

I have no idea how you got it so even and ending so beautifully. How long did it take?

[misspurdy06]

About 6 mins. I'm fast because I have been braiding my own hair since I was 12 and have done far more complicated braids than this one.

Wow that's pretty quick! I'll have to practice more!

[Lunnafindel]

That's wonderful! Great job! I need to try that on my sister. Sometimes I wish I had shorter hair so I could do that myself, but alas.

[ladylowtide]

Wow. Totally jealous, great braid.

[Natalia]

whoa freaky cool! i cant imagine doing that on myself :bow:

[freckles]

that's amazing! I wish someone would do my hair like that, I'm all thumbs :/

[one_fine_lady]

Very creative! Your mom has lovely hair

:bigeyes: 6 minutes!!

Video or it didn't happen!

J/K :D Beautiful style---truly amazing! And your mom's hair is gorgeous too!

[woolyleprechaun]

Wow, great job! Your mom has fabulous hair, by the way :D

[kitekats]

very pretty:)

[Gogobaby]

That is the most beautiful braid -- and incredible hair too.. All credit.

[Alvrodul]

Nicely done. Lucky mom! :D

[Falcore]

You did an awesome job!

[FrannyG]

That's one beautiful braid you did there. Your mom really has lovely hair too.

You most certainly could do that braid on yourself. It just takes practice. I know you can do it. :blossom:

[cindy58]

It looks really great!

[elea]

absolutly gorgeous *;OD
always put a big smile on my face when i do on someone else something i would never get to do on me... such a treat to see it, and the smile as the mirror happens to turn-up
laughters are good too mind *;OP

[Madora]

What a wonderful job you did, misspurdy06! Your mother's hair is beautiful!

[BrightEyes]

Wow, that is one gorgeous braid:) Your mom has lovely hair.

[Aqua Gal]

Gorgeous! I couldn't pull that off if you gavee 12 hours and a million dollars.

[PixxieStix]

Gorgeous! How cool, and what patience you must have had to make sure to do it so nicely. Bravo! I'd never be able to do that on my own head either. :)

[Amber_Maiden]

oh wow!! Pretty!

[ddiana1979]

Oh wow. That's AMAZING.

[Kristin]

Nice work! You could definitely do that on yourself.

One question: Did it get messy pretty quickly? Whenever I do braids like this (braids that don't fully include ALL of the hair), they get messy fast and I feel like I wasted my time. Maybe it's because I have layers...

[Sabriel]

That is so cool looking!!

[jacqueline101]

Her hair is awesome.

[lydiajo]

Beautiful braid and wonderful hair.

[Arden]

I'm jealous even though I'm the one who did the braid.

That's really cool!

[meishkamooshka]

Way to go, girl! That's a lovely braid on a lovely head of hair! I think you COULD do this on yourself with a bit of practice!

[anodyne_ame]

Oooh man that is an AWESOME braid! I'm definitely trying that on my roommate once she returns home. I don't think I could ever do that on myself without my arms falling asleep!

[HadessThera]

Oh wow that braid is beautiful, and I feel your pain, whenever I find a new braid I want to try my mother tells me I'm welcome to try it on her because my hair is still too short and I just get jealous cos I'm dying to try it on myself and can't haha

[embee]

Ooooh, plainly you have a skill. Please show us some other cool braids you've done, build a portfolio! That's just fine looking. Lucky mom, lucky you!

[SwordWomanRiona]

WOW! :thudpile: I honestly gasped when I saw that style...Talk about GORGEOUS! So beautiful! You're a really talented braider, and your mum has lovely hair!

[1nuitblanche]

Wow! That is a super neat braid!

[dwell_in_safety]

That's so beautiful! If my girlfriend ever grows her hair out again, I am soooo doing this on her hair; she loves waterfall braids as it is. Your mother has lovely hair.

[Charybdis]

That's an amazing braid. Lovely hair and beautiful work!

[misspurdy06]

Could be layers. I have a lot of practice braiding my own hair. I know by muscle memory the right tension for different styles of braid. Practice helps with the neatness factor but I have a lot of time on my hand to do that sort of thing.

Why I practice so much...

Teaching yourself new skills builds neurons in your brain. So I do stuff like this a lot. Sometimes I even brush my teeth with my left hand. (right handed) If you fumble around at first when you are learning something then you get good at it with practice that is your brain growing.

[lapushka]

Awesome braid! :D

[Metallia]

That is astounding! I really admire your skill. I am envious of folks who can wear braids like that- they would just get lost in my dark curly hair. They stand out so beautifully on your mother's hair!

[beautifulending]

That is so pretty. How long did it take to do that?

[OilPaint]

Very pretty braid!
I'm going to have to learn how to do these; I keep seeing variations of them and I would love to have it done on my hair, but no one around here is experienced with long hair (at least none that I would trust and know of).

[maborosi]

Woah that looks awesome!

I'm a perfectionist and can't braid anyone's hair but my own, LOL! But especially not my mother's hair- it's very thick and I can never seem to braid it...

~maborosi~

[CaranDulin]

Oh, that is lovely! I'll have to try it sometime!

[Emerald88]

Fantastic job and your Mom's hair is very pretty too!

[bo-peep]

Nice job! Your mom has pretty hair, so I'll bet you do too!

[blondie9912]

That is SO cool, wow! How did she say it felt while it was in? Is it something you can wear day to day, or is it more of a "stand there any look pretty" style?

[cuddledumplin]

That's so pretty.

[JamieLeigh]

Wow! That looks amazing! :D And way to go mom, for being so patient! Mine won't let me do anything to her hair, she can't sit still long enough.

[misspurdy06]

That is SO cool, wow! How did she say it felt while it was in? Is it something you can wear day to day, or is it more of a "stand there any look pretty" style?
It's easy to wear if that's what you mean.

[palaeoqueen]

That's just stunning!

[vintage88]

Very beautiful, wish I could do this!:)

[Kosmos]

That is an amazing braid. I wish I had the skill!

[jojo]

I am totally envious of your skills, that's one of the prettiest braids I have ever seen on here, well done you. I wish you lived near me I would so be calling on your skills!
