Simple Braid-'Do 2 09/29

Hey everyone! I am not feeling so swift today, dealing with a raging migraine. I will have a hair do up tomorrow just not the one I planned, since I am spending most of my day at work with my head on the desk.

For this look, the braid. It is one of my favorites. It makes me feel super girly and frilly even though it is a pretty straight forward side braid.
A braid I had to re do SIX TIMES, the struggle is real with this one.

Braid 1. Looked really nice i liked it but over on the left side of my head it was really loose near the nape of my neck. So I took it out to re-do it and here are some pictures and comments I wrote down for braids 2-6
2: Lumpy weird bit where braid starts:

 (sorry for the blur) 

3: "What is it with this freaking lumpy bit!" 

Next thought: Maybe i can live with it, lets check a whole head shot: 

 

"No, No definitely too lumpy and weird I don't like it! I am just going to pull all my hair down and brush it and see if that helps: 

"Ahh so much hair! I need to wash it tonight its feeling annoying" Braid 4 was pretty much exactly the same as 2-3 no pic necessary. 

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and was making it so lumpy and driving me crazy. I wasn't gathering my hair into a low side pony before separating and braiding like I did in the first almost perfect braid. I was just swishing my hair to one side, as in the picture above, separating and going at it.. hence: Lumpy bits I don't like. 

Braid 5: well I had the BRIGHT idea to maybe just start the braid a little higher, instead of a low pony a mid pony on the side of my head and the Results: 

pretty nice: but right over my ear and it was kinda bugging me. So I took it down and went back to a low pony and here for your viewing pleasure:

SUCCESS!!!! 

Until about halfway through the morning I go to wash my hands and bend in front of a mirror and see this one really weird part running along my head -.- REALLY??! 

But I refused to do it again, I was just going to have to have a weird part. Around 2PM from all the moving (and fidgeting with my hair) I had to redo my braid and made sure to not have a weird  part. 

OH happy Nancy with a not weird part!!
