Now that would have been worthy of a picture don't you think!<br /><br />The French or Skull plait just takes patience and practice whilst watching the TV - if you think about what you are doing you just get it all wrong - I have to lie across the armchair sideways so that my head hangs over the armside and the weight of my hair drops down over the side of the chair - I just cannot do it sitting upright with a mirror in front of me - it is certainly a sight to behold!

I can only do an ordinary plait in mine, wish I could manage a french plait but can't.<br /><br />Loved the pictures, the one with the scarf is really funny.<br /><br />I too have thick unruly hair but it has a natural curl and still can't tame it at 53!!! I can never get it to stay up for long if it's just pinned up.<br /><br />When I was small my mother used to put ringlets in it by just using her fingers, she never needed to use rags, and it always looked lovely.<br /><br />I have taken to using something called a 'Stylee' now, they are great because I can put my hair in a ponytail, just put the sides up, or put it all up, you can do loads of styles with them. I first saw them on a tv shopping channel but now I buy direct from the lady who invented them, she's a hairdresser. They come in various colours, with 3 or 4 pieces of material across them and have two hair combs attached each side, they are elasticated to hold your hair in place and they also do them in a child's size.<br /><br />Brilliant idea, wish I'd thought of it.jordiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323968465121769588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105264422952871732.post-84355553482014708772009-06-27T16:45:58.120+01:002009-06-27T16:45:58.120+01:00Thank you so much - unfortunatley I've got to ...Thank you so much - unfortunatley I've got to 40 and still cannot tame it!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620165390300268321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105264422952871732.post-58731890591685076122009-06-27T16:07:34.579+01:002009-06-27T16:07:34.579+01:00You have lovely hair, and it looks nice in the two...You have lovely hair, and it looks nice in the two styles... mine on the other hand is thin and lank... now a lot shorter as I have just had 6 inches taken off of it for the Summer..lol time to do the colour again me-thinks.Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005047450040559399noreply@blogger.com
