I've been working on my site, trying to get my newest pics up. I'm trying something new, a how-to slide show type thing. Check it out and let me know what you think about it. Is it good or do you like the other way (the barrel curl how-to done previously) better?
I haven't had time to get my new pics fully uploaded and set up on my site yet, so thought I'd go ahead and post a few on here for y'all. (it's alot faster)
This first one shows the difference from the time I started my dedicated long hair journey till now. (I'm wearing the exact same outfit in both pics)
You can't really see where my hair ends in the one above, so here's one that shows the full stretched out length.
And here's one from the front showing my bangs.

Thank you! It's awesome to be someone's inspiration. I don't really care for having my face on the internet (still a little paranoid about that). I did a face shot as my avatar because it's so little you can't really tell much what I look like.

Thanks. If I remember correctly, there's about 10-11 inches difference in those two pics!

lol Glad you like them! You should give it a try on your wife.
Absolutly gorgeous, Sarah! All your hard work is deffinetly showing.I can not wait for some length like that. I don't like to post my face either. Everyone hear seams to be alright, but you just never know when some wierdo might be watching, and the inernet is still a scary place.
Sarah, I am still somewhat shocked at how simlar our hair is. Yours is just a little bit tighter curl than mine, I think. And mine seems to go a bit straighter on top. Mabye if I didn't comb it as much.... Hmmmm
That's a great website Sarah, and I enjoyed seeing your hair toys! Do you use the porcupine quills as hairsticks or some kind of pin? They look too short to be sticks, but they are pretty.

OH my goodness, I LOVE the box for your hair toys! After I read Susan's post, I checked out your site again.What a great idea. I am always loosing clips and barrets. I have a small basket in my bathroom that I use at the present, but somehow between my daughter helping herself, and my sticking things in my purse or bag, something always ends up missing.
I also am just fasinated by the braids! Do you know of a good book, or site w/ instructions? I can french braid very well. My aunt taught me when I was 5 yrs old, but, have gotten quite bored with "normal" french braiding. I do my daughter's hair all the time.As it get longer ( it is almost to the middle of her back)I plan on putting it up more.

Thanks, Susan! You guys enjoying looking is what makes it worthwhile to me.
Yes, I do use the quills as hairsticks. I have to use both of them to get a secure hold because they're so short. It's a bummer too because not much of the ends are visible, nearly the whole sticks are hidden inside my hair. My friend who bought them online for me ordered longer ones, but that's what came and they didn't answer my email about it, so....... I do love them though because they're so unique.

Alisa, I don't know if you noticed, but my box is a fishing tackle box. It's so perfect with all the little compartments to keep things separated out. My sister-in-law uses one of those little craft boxes for beads or embroidery thread to hold small clips and rubber bands and barettes for my niece. I had too much stuff for that though.
A great site for braid instructions is www.dreamweaverbraiding.com. That's where I learned alot of my techniques. I've gotten way out of practice though really. I don't braid my own hair much anymore and the girls who always used to ask me to do theirs don't hang around anymore. I need to get back into it because I so enjoy doing it.
Sarah, I look at your site many times - and drool! I want hair like yours - like now!!! I also appreciate all of the hair tricks you post - such as how you take care of your hair.

Your hair is simply gorgeous, hairbraider! I love the curls with all that length. Thanks for doing the picture of it stretched out too. It's hard to tell the actual length stretched out without seeing that picture. A wet hair picture would be nice too and would show it if you could capture it before it coiled up again. It looks like your in the bum tickling club!
