How I did it: I watched a couple of youtube clips demonstrating french braiding. Simply do a search for french braiding. The clips I watched showed how to braid along with verbal commentry. Once I saw how it is done, It was just a matter of having a go. I practiced on my very willing and cooperative 4 year old daughter, much to her delight when i produced 2 pigtail braids that stayed in All day! Yes, they're a bit messy etc, but it's simply a matter of practise now that i have the basics mastered.
BTW, I am the sort of person who could barely even plait hair, so if I can accomplish this, I KNOW YOU CAN TOO!!!!
Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid if it's not neat you need to master the concept first.
Resources: Youtube videos. I did a search for french braiding. If you just search for braiding, you end up with plaiting instructions.

I have always wished i could braid hair, It feels awesome to have actually identified something I want and made it happen!
This is just the beginning! Watch me conquer my 43 things list!
