At first the braids will most likely be loose and uneven, but as you get more used to doing them, they will get tighter and neater. As I said above, you can also practice braiding with yarn... or rope... to get the technique down. Thank you for visiting... I hope you are able to do your daughter's hair soon. :)Gentle Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625746235099531114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143691149413399323.post-23230115859915965452015-02-13T10:31:37.469-08:002015-02-13T10:31:37.469-08:00Thank you... braiding can be difficult at first......Thank you... braiding can be difficult at first....

I think it would have been so nice to live then. I know life was much harder in so many ways, but families were close and people were so much more God-fearing and modest.

When she braids her hair... it stands out and looks almost like a rope... very interesting... but I cannot do it. I figured she can do it because she is left handed and I am not.

Does that make sense?
