on 8/2/2008 I have waist length chestnut hair. It's flyaway and wispy in dry weather, and it's frizzy in wet weather. <p>I found this video extremely helpful. This model has wispy bits that escape, just as I do, and while it's true that I can't tuck eight inches of braid back up inside the braid, it's equally true that this model will have a queue down her back half the length of her loose braid, which is exactly what I will have if I follow these directions exactly.

This has been very helpful to me. I first started to learn French braiding from the Klutz book. That book was good, but it didn't tell me or show me everything Ms. Muller is showing me.

I've given this five stars!

Video Transcript

"We are finishing up this French braid, and as you see, I am bringing it all the way down as a regular braid, and I am going to go ahead and put a tie on the bottom of the hair, so it does not become loose. What I am going to do with Fara Lee, though, is I am going to tuck in her French braid, and that is because her braid is not really long; but you can keep it down long or you can tuck it in like this. And what I do by tucking in, I just simply tucked it in, and I use a couple of pins and I pin in the French braid. I am going out pinning it nicely; and make sure the pins aren’t showing, make sure you can cover everything up. If you have any loose hair, what’s good about this right here is, sometimes the hair is a little bumpy, you have a few pieces that are loosened there, and you want to take your pin and you want to hide that. If it is a little bump here, and you want to go ahead and take that pin and push it in that a little loop if it is a little loose, okay, just to make the French braid a little neater. So I tucked it in here and I will continue to tuck it in a little bit more, and I have a few loose hairs here, so I want to get rid of that. I want to use some hair sprays to make sure that I neaten up this French braid. Remember all the loose hairs…I need to neaten them up."
