I've reached a wonderful milestone- for me, at least.
I can now do a (decent?) English braid, and I CAN FINALLY USE A HAIRSTICK AGAIN!
I've been so excited to be able to use a hairstick again, and so I can finally justify the inevitable, upcoming wave of hairtoys I'm about to purchase (and post here, of course).
Take a loooook!!!
My braid. It's a bit...untidy, mostly due to the layers. But at least it's a braid!
The bun I made. It's a bit messy.
Another view.
Woo! What a great discovery! I've been wearing my hair back for a while so I haven't gotten much of an opportunity to experiment with my hair, but I'm glad I did today!
