For Christmas I got a self-hair styling book, and ever since,
I’ve been trying new hairstyles; on myself and people who will let me.
Although there’s almost a whole section (a pretty one, too)
that I have to skip because my hair is too long.
(An oxymoronically good bad thing, I suppose!)
I’ve personally favored putting my hair up in a bun,
which I was never able to do until it showed me in 3 simple steps
and now I wear my hair in a bun when I feel like putting it that way.
Not lately because I’ve been and still am very sick.
I’ve never been able to do buns, so this was a great accomplishment for me!
Excuse the thin hairs poking out here and there,
my hair is very hard to handle.
I’ve also done a sloppy French herringbone, French braid,
braided chignon, and a regular herringbone on myself,
but haven’t had photographs of them.
On friends I’ve done twists, rolled braids, French braids,
herringbones, and French herringbones.
Again, I didn’t get photographs.
But today, my dear sister Beth was kind enough to lend me her
doll for a few minutes to try a ‘not so sloppy’ French herringbone on her.
And I can definitely do them better on others than myself!
(Though I’m better at French braids on myself than on others)
I like that style, and perhaps I’ll practice more on myself.
Well, January’s almost over, and I didn’t give the poem of December,
so I’ll give January’s real quick:
“Sunshine, flurries, & frozen pipe worries.
Testing easing – coastal blow, island snow!
Melt song won’t last long.
Chilled to the core worth waiting for!
Sled dogs mush through rain and slush!”
Well, I’ll be going so mom can detoxify the premises I’m currently occupying.
Have a great week and stay healthy!

My Mom was recently reading your Mom's blog and said you were sick. I'm sorry and I hope you feel better.
Lovely Hairstyles! I understand what you mean when you say buns are hard. I was wondering (if it would not be too much trouble) if you can tell me the title of the self-hairstyling book? I've got to go do some school,
