for Our Daily Challenge topic - Tails or Braids'

Excuse my random background of some dolls on my shelf. :P I didn't feel like setting up paper or fabric or something. (And yes, I do see that one section of Believix Power Tecna's hair that's randomly in Musa's face. I don't know what happened. I'm just noticing it now that I'm uploading this.)

So I decided to try curling Bloomix Layla's hair by braiding it into tons of tiny little braids, running it under really hot water, and waiting a day for it to dry... but it didn't work. I tried undoing one of the braids this morning and it was pretty much the same as before, just slightly wavier. So disappointing!

But I actually do really like how the braids themselves look so I think I'm just gonna leave her hair like this. It's cute! I should probably redo some of them-- especially the ones near the top, but eh, it took me an hour and a half to do them in the first place (I'm the worst at braiding, okay?) and I don't feel like doing it again.

What do you guys think?

Had a flashback this morning of mornings when I braided my DD’s hair. So now she does mine occasionally. She also took this picture.

Braid

Neo Braids aren’t just a hairstyle. They’re presence.

Built around sharp, intentional parting and layered braid flow, this look delivers structure from every angle. The pattern work hits clean and deliberate, while the hanging length in the back adds movement and edge. It’s controlled without feeling stiff. Detailed without feeling busy. Every line has purpose.

This is for the avatar that doesn’t blend in. The one that walks into a room and doesn’t need an introduction.

📍Available at the Vladdy Mainstore and Marketplace.

ODC-Braid or Plat

I couldn't find a braid or plat today, so I made one with my own hair. My little Coolpix W300, I have discovered is wonderful for doing selfies of any kind.

Karo men often wear their hair in a bun and Karo women, like Hamer women, use butter fat and clay to sculpt and color their hair. The Karo, however, make small beads of their short hair, whereas the Hamar make longer rope like braids.

Dre Braids deliver a clean, intentional two-braid style built around symmetry, control, and realism. Designed with precise parting and a smooth hand-drawn hairbase, this look balances simplicity with sharp detail for a polished, confident finish.

Pavilion built 1901; extended 1930 and 1992.

In 1890 the proprietors of the Braid Estate formed the Braid Estate Recreation Ground consisting of a bowling green and a tennis club with their associated pavilions "for the use and enjoyment of the feuars within the area of the Braid Estate ". The cost of building the facility was met by the said feuars.

At the first meeting of the club in 1892 the Chairman and first President of the Club proposed that the club should apply for admission to the Edinburgh and Leith Bowling Association. The proposal was passed and the green was opened for play for the first time on Saturday 7 May 1892.

A fine new pavilion was built and opened in 1901 on the east side of the green. This pavilion provided a fitting backdrop for an international match that was played at Braid in 1908 and on that occasion the famous cricketer Dr W.G. Grace was on the England side.

This aerial photograph captures the intricate patterns of a braided river flowing through the Icelandic landscape. The river's silvery streams weave through dark volcanic sands, creating a striking contrast. The surrounding terrain includes patches of green fields and barren land, with distant mountains under a cloudy sky.

Traduzione in italiano: Questa fotografia aerea cattura i motivi intricati di un fiume intrecciato che scorre attraverso il paesaggio islandese. I corsi d'acqua argentati del fiume si intrecciano con le sabbie vulcaniche scure, creando un contrasto sorprendente. Il terreno circostante include macchie di campi verdi e terre desolate, con montagne lontane sotto un cielo nuvoloso.

And that's all I'm going to say about this one...!

This little girl was sitting in front of me listening to an open stage concert. She reminded me of how much I've always loved to braid my granddaughters' hair.

It's almost two years since I met them and I still don't know when we'll meet again...
