French braiding & other hair help.
How can you do french braiding on yourself--the EASY way? HELP please!! I want to do 2 french braids .. kind of like pigtails.. only french braids..if that makes any sense? lol.
& another question ...
Every time I try to curl my hair (With a curling iron, of course), it doesn't even stay in. Yes, I've used hairspray and those curl shampoos or whatever don't work. I've stopped believing in them. LOL. So any tips or tricks?...I need them by tomorrowish, maybe...

French braids are tricky to do on yourself. And there are two types, over and under. Over looks like a larger cornrow and under is the traditional french braid. I try to cut this into small steps.
1-Section hair down middle of your head, clip or tie one side.
2-start at the peak of your hair in the middle of one section and seperate three peices like you're going to do a regular braid.
3- Braid them one to three times, then with the two outer peices of hairi n the brain pick up a little more hair starting from the outside of the section...just repeat until it's braided all the way down and try to keep it as tight as possible.
4- You can braid to the tips of your hair or just at the base of your scalp, but secure tightly.
And for fly aways...spray with hairspray and rub the braids.
Now...for curly hair :-) After you've washed your hair put a curl gel or glaze from root to tip while it's still damp. Then flip your head over and blow dry while scrunching your hair with your fingers until completely dry...then spray with a sprunching spray (preferably Aussie Sprunch Spray) and sprunch again.
Good luck!

I recommend the Klutz Hair book. It's teaching me to French braid on myself.
