I'm about to give up. I've tried dozens of times to braid my own hair, but can't quite manage to do it. The one time I thought I got it right was during a slow night at work (I'm on night shift). I played with it for a couple of hours, trying over and over again. I finally managed to get it braided and left it that way the rest of the night. It was much more comfortable than a ponytail, and I was happy with it. However, when I got home, the first thing my wife asked was, "Who braided your hair?" I proudly declared that I did it myself. She just said OK and tried to look busy. I asked her why she asked and she said it was lopsided and messy. I looked in the mirror and she was right. It looked pretty bad. She rebraided it for me, but I can't always count on her to do it for me. Anyone got any tips on technique or tricks on how to do this myself?
