Not to brag, but....
I started this blog so I could keep track of all the styles I wanted to try on my hair. So far, I've learned a couple tricks:
1) One of the earlier styles I posted about, in which you braid on both sides of your head and criss-cross them around a bun at the back of your head. I got this one DOWN.
2) The rope braid
3) The inside-out braid (I've been posting about this one a lot, because it was pretty frustrating)
4) Kind of an offshoot from the inside-out braid, but I learned how to do the Katniss braid correctly
5) The fishtail braid
You wouldn't think it's such a big deal, but for a while, I just felt so "meh" about life that I didn't bother doing anything besides school stuff. I wasn't unhappy per se; I was just nothing. Last semester, I started making small goals for myself, so I could feel I had some control over my life. This summer, I set some goals, but some awesome stuff just kind of found me without my even trying. Oddly enough, one of those awesome things was doing my hair. I don't even know why it makes me so happy, but there's just something so great about knowing that I did my hair because I gave a shit. And giving a shit is really important.
