I might use three on each group of hair, so that they go down the length of her hair. I will email you some photos. The idea is just to keep the hair straight when it dries so that it doesn't curl up. It makes it much easier to braid. <br /><br />LianneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-37859326117167950392012-11-29T09:30:52.827-06:002012-11-29T09:30:52.827-06:00Sharon thank you for the note - and for the encour...Sharon thank you for the note - and for the encouragement to keep trying!!!

(I am not good with my own hair either.) I agree-once Lizzie's hair is kept in braids, it will be SO much more easy to detangle.<br /><br />Have fun!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074200111691759654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-85296089945986523502012-11-27T21:51:34.224-06:002012-11-27T21:51:34.224-06:00Lianne, lovely to hear from you.

I know you section off damp/wet hair but I'm not sure what kind of elastics to use (I've read something about Pony O's???) or how to put them in her hair. Can you explain??<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-88099263096384003622012-11-27T21:27:57.194-06:002012-11-27T21:27:57.194-06:00I have found stretching Tes' hair is very help...I have found stretching Tes' hair is very helpful and makes a neater end result. After a bath and detangling, I band the hair overnight. In the morning, I take out the bands, spray her hair and braid. <br /><br />LianneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-59514755011186882762012-11-26T22:13:43.985-06:002012-11-26T22:13:43.985-06:00Well, Joanne, if you know about braiding, you'...Well, Joanne, if you know about braiding, you're on!<br /><br />Yes, I do find it daunting. Just the three little braids I put in her hair the other day took me almost ten minutes to get out! Granted I'm not good at this stuff, so even the simplest experiment takes a whack of time if I'm going to 'do' her whole head...her hair is just so dense! <br /><br />Anonymous, yes, I love twists and have actually done them a few times on Lizzie's hair. But I didn't know that you could put beads on twists - that's awesome to know. Now I just need to figure out that beading device thingee - but I'm sure I've seen a few youtube videos floating around on that topic!!<br /><br />Thanks guys...I'm making progress!<br /><br />Ruth<br />Hi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-73028376346279897452012-11-26T21:29:39.894-06:002012-11-26T21:29:39.894-06:00You may want to start with twists as I find them e...You may want to start with twists as I find them easier to do and you can still put beads on them. Plus I find twists are a little "stretchier" than braids and my daughters like to pull all their hair back for a pony tail and twists work easier for that. Plus I find them much, much easier to take out than braids.

Experimenting is fun even if you take it out right away. I do this with my niece's hair. Maybe you're feeling the stakes are too high? It's just hair--a new experiment can happen tomorrow...and the next day...and the day after that.Joannenoreply@blogger.com
