Thanks so much, i think with a little more practice this is going to end up being my go-to hair style for camping type activities where i was to be able to put my hair up for a week and forget about it. super comfy!

I've been thinking about that too. Though I will need to get used to it, as it's giving me pretty horrible scalp aches now. But that used to be the case with crown braids for me as well, and it's much better now.

I tried this on my sister's hair, and it was a total fail. She has fine, straight, waist length hair. The braid just didn't coil right. It all kept piling up on itself close to the center, and by the time I was done, we were joking with each other that it looked like a waffle cone bowl. I braided tightly, because I wanted it to be secure, but I really didn't think it was too tight. I'm not sure what exactly I did wrong.
I'd love to give it another go, but my sister, the complainer that she is, won't sit still long enough to let me tonight. I'll have to save it for another day. I'd just love to have a few tips to try to correct it for next time, so that I don't have to make her sit as long through my experiment.

I practised on Eadwine's hair yesterday...
I went leaning to the left again LOL
Can't manage to keep the circles to stay in the middle of the head!

I had a go at this and i was impressed how easy it was to do on my own head. Posted a picture in the braid thread.
