I gave it my best shot...

I tried my version of the braid in the black and white photos I posted the other day.  Rather than a fishtail I just did an ordinary braid and this is how it turned out.  I have to say the look just isn't for me. I loved it on the model but on me it just didn't feel right. Maybe I need a hair stylist to actually make it look good but for now I'm sticking to my straight and wavy hair.  Do you usually end up with good results when you try a new hairstyle?
