[blparent] French Braid

Thu Sep 3 18:44:25 UTC 2009

You add hair to each of your original bunches.  It always stays three 
bunches.
Barbara
If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.

>> Hello Jessica,

>> regular braid so you can get the hang of doing that nice and tight.  Then

>> practice on that before you start with Lucy.  I'd think it would be much

>> Good luck,

>> Hello,
