Well, after a month of thinking about it and preparing myself, I finally took the plunge into the huge unknown world of hair! My friend Carmen gave me some tips and sent me on my way. Oh boy! My first attempt was with Mist's hair which is interestingly very soft and much like my own but very curly. I couldn't believe it, but she sat very still for about 45 minutes! It turned out okay and looked pretty cute (She loved it!) but in about 8 hours it was coming out all over the place. I had to take it out the next morning so I'm not sure 45 minutes was worth it if I couldn't leave it in for at least a day or so!
Next attempt....Misrak, who has enough hair to give to five children! I knew it would be tough but I felt up to the challenge. She was SO happy that I was going to try. I didn't braid her whole head this time. I thought I would try just a few this time to see how hard it would be. It turned out great and she was very pleased! Yay! I am so psyched!
