And here's the whole braid courtesy of camera set on timer.
WOW! Your technique looks like that of an old pro! I'm very impressed.
Coming from you Jason, I consider this the highest of compliments. Thank you. (Took about a year to get it as good as this.) I am not so sure about the "pro," but I do know about the "old." LOL
all the best

Well Justin that's very good

Thanks so much John for the compliment, especially from one who is a top expert with a camera verses myself.
Take care -

Hi Justin,
Truly gorgeous for a first attempt! CONGRATULATIONS! If I can achieve the length and provided MPB doesn't rob me of too much hair, that will certainly be a dream of mine down the road, to be able to braid mine. Your long hair has always been a true inspiration.

Hi DavidN
Thank YOU for your words of inspiration regarding the braid. Not a 1st attempt by any means............but the 1st successful out-come of an attempt which I was very happy with.
all the best -

Looks excellent Justin! Quite flawless for a first attempt.
Thanks so much, but it has taken a year of practice whenever I felt like it to get what I would consider at least a passible braid.
nice braid! i wish my hair was long enough to do a braid like that, but I'm slowly but surely getting there!

Just let the hair continue to grow and you WILL get there! But once there (at least for myself) doing a braid well was NOT easy and has taken much practice so as to be presentable. Harder to do than you might think. Thanks for your compliment.
Justin,I think that's a very good first attempt (is that a first attempt). When I first tried to put my hair in a ponytail,I was surprised to see that it was harder to do than I expected (I tied it too tight).I can imagine braiding being ten times harder...well done! :P
No way man. Hardly my 1st attempt. I have tried off and on for a year to make what I would consider a "Successful" Braid. Finally I "think(?)" I did it so I put on the photos.
wow...I didn't know it was that hard!!I'm beginning to think that my only hope to get braided is for someone else to do it for me..I wish I knew how to braid! :((
Hi Justin, you have a lovely braid. It looks good on you. You did a good job for a first try. Just lovely.

Hey Absalom
Thanks ever so much for the compliment. :-)
Just one thing. This wasn't my 1st braid. I have tried over and over again for so long before I finally got what I considered a passable to good one.
Justin~
Justin, thats a beautiful braid!! Really neat and wow is your hair ever long!!
Congratulations it seems you have a range of great looks for you to choose from.
I can't even begin to thank you enough for such a wonderful comment.
EXCELLENT, I'd say!! It tain't easy doing a braid by ones'self, --- and it looks to me like you pass the test with flyin' colors!!!
- Ken
Tain't easy............boy, are you ever right about that! Thanks for the compliment Ken. Speaking of flying, at present I dare say I am seeing Pink Elephants flying around here. Why? Cause as of yet I haven't been able to get the braid right today!
Thats a killer looking braid mate - rock on!
Many many thanks for saying this. Much appreciated.
Cool braid, Justin! Definitely suits you very well. =)
Thanks for your kind words and I also feel it suites me well.
Neat braid Justin! I can imagine the patience it takes to get it looking so good.
Take care,
Bruce
Thanks, and yes..............patience and MUCH practice. (At least in my case.) I STILL haven't been able to do it as well today.
Well Justin Im speechless has that is very long braid :-)
just one question ..Is that going to be the main way you wear your hair ???
Axel
PS
IM Jealous of your hair length to
I'm speechless at such a nice compliment. Thanks!
"If" I can ever do it again as well, you can count on the fact that I will be wearing my hair much of the time like this. It was wonderful and so comfortable. It is little wonder that so many of the Native Americans nearby choose to wear their hair this way.
Fantastic braid Justin. That can't be easy to do lol, but it sure shows how much hair you have that its that long even braided
Awesome my friend, keep it up :)
Thanks so much Chris and you are so right. It isn't easy to do and since I have been unable to do it again and had it come out anywhere near as well. Is it possible that you could email me? Lost your new address.
Justin~
I wasn't expecting it to look so neat and well done! I just don't think I would have the patience to make one now.
Looks great! Did it take long to make it?
Hey Luckskind -
Would you believeit took all of 5 minutes? But now I realize I was very lucky. Read the posting above to see what has happenned since. Boo-Hoo
Justin~
Way to go; IIRC when I posted my first braid pic you said you were going to try it. Nice to see you did. I still haven't got the single braid like that to be quick and comfortable yet. How long did it take you? Is it comfortable enough to wear all day?
And I did off and on with terrible success.
For the one you see in the photo (my best ever) about 5 minutes.
Absolutely. And to sleep on a dream.
But now for the bad news. Just when I thought I could at last do it well every time I have yet to have been able to do it again. I find the most difficult thing of all is starting it. THAT IS THE KILLER FOR ME! Once enough is braided I sling the hair over my shoulder where I can really see it. This is easy. But not the other.
I really liked it alot and wore it everywhere two days ago. Nobody said anything but I didn't care. It was just so comfortable. I regret as of this moment undoing it and am very frustrated that just when I thought I had it mastered I really didn't.
"If" my attemps tomorrow are failures I have decided to go to a Salon and let someone there do it. (Shouldn't cost too much I wouldn't think.) But, I would love to have a nice braid for the entire weekend.
Hi Justin,
that's a perfect long braid! Looks great!
Too bad I can't do it that well (length-wise and braid-quality-wise) :-)
All the best!
