External factor number one:

Recently I went back home to good old Atlanta, Georgia to deal with some personal family matters and ended up finding myself with frizzy hair and lots of time on my hands.

External factor number two: As I’ve told you before, I have been growing my hair out and so until this coming Thursday (finally made that hair appointment…) I am left to deal with a big mess of waves and knots.

External factor number three:

I have a bit of an alter-ego. This alter-ego likes to go to renaissance fairs and wishes she had a closet full  bell-sleeved velvet dresses and spoke Latin. No, I’m not necessarily the type the dresses up and LARPs but I sure as hell enjoy my fantasy novels and movies and the occasional MMORPG (if you know what that means–::high five::). Okay, so I’ve LARP’d once or twice. No big deal. I don’t own my own sword. Yet. Oh, God, I’m so turning into “that girl”.

I refuse to live a life of shame.

LOVE. THIS. SHOW.

RESULT:

Too much time on my hands + Frustration with hair situation (Obsession with Guinevere) + Youtube=

 

THE WATERFALL BRAID.

OBSESSED.

If you know how to french braid, this is fairly easy. I personally find this easier than a regular french braid, as a tad of messiness actually helps the look.  There are a million Youtube tutorials to show you how to do this but I’ve included the one I thought was easiest to follow and where the person speaking didn’t talk your damned ears off.  ENJOY!
