>> Hello Jessica,

>> Good luck,

>> Hello,
>>
>> So my three-year-old daughter always wants her hair in French braids, I
>> think mainly because her teachers often do this at school for her.  She 
>> has
>> long thick hair, so definitely braidable.  Wondering if anyone has a good

>> basically have the concept, but would like to learn the real way so it 
>> stays
>> nice and tight all day long.
