I didn't know what to do with my hair not to be so long. The result was a punk-like hairdo that amused my boyfriend and all who saw me. I divided my hair into five pieces and made five braids. Then I twisted each one until it made such a 'chimney' and thread the rest of the braid through it so that the ribbon stayed inside and secure the whole thing with a bobby pin. Don't take the expression on my face seriously, it was just a fun :-)
