P365 (+1) - 2012 - Day 163 - I finally got it!

P365 (+1) - 2012 - Day 163 - I finally got it!

In my cheerleading days, my hairstyle of choice was a french braid.  My mom would do them for me, so I never learned how to do one myself.  I have tried on myself over the years to no avail.  Then I started to try on The Princess when she would consent to me doing her hair. (because she has wanted to do it herself since she was about 2 years old)  But once in awhile she will appease me and let me use her as a mannequin head to practice this skill that has eluded me for years....  Today was one of those days - she relented and let me try again because I recently asked the girl that does my hair and her explanation clicked so I thought I had it.  But alas, I did not.  My mannequin grew impatient and I needed to remind her that my "Farrah" head that I had as a kid was a much better subject!  But she was done after my several failed attempts.  But through the power of the internet and Facebook - I gathered more info, watched a couple of videos and then tried again on my own hair...and voila!  Not too shabby!  When The Princess saw my handy work, she was on board for letting me try once more and VOILA - even better than mine!  I finally got it!
