Pinterest Updo!

I recently joined the wonderful world of Pinterest and have since pinned a few new ways to style my generally lifeless and thin hair. Here is the inspiration photo and how-to guide I pinned about a week ago:

I'm happy to report that it was just as easy as explained and it worked even on my generally challenging locks! It took about 15 minutes from start to finish and the only note I would add to the how-to part would be that I had to put a clear plastic on the end of my little braid while I braided it with the two unbraided strands. When I got close to the end, I slid the plastic band off and used it at the end of the new braid. I did this on all three sets of braids, otherwise I don't think I could've managed braiding with that little braid that kept wanting to come undone.

 I'm also proud to report that with only six bobby pins, this updo lasted all day at school!
