[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 332992, member: 8226"] Me too! It's amazing how "different" it is...doing it on yourself vs. on someone else. You have to use your hands and fingers in a completely different way. I was determined to learn to do it on my own hair long before I had children. I worked and worked and just couldn't get it...until I quit concentrating so hard. My first success was when I was watching TV while I worked on it more "mindlessly." Even now, I do better if I'm not thinking about it too much, and, still, doing my own is much easier. Wow... I just realized I've been doing this for 25+ years. I've kept long hair most of my life, and so have my daughters. On somebody else's hair, it helps so much if you ask the person to hold the piece you're letting go of (taut), before you pull more hair over to join with it. Otherwise, the piece you let go of isn't separated from the other sections anymore, and it's hard to get it back. I think that's what makes it the hardest. On yourself, you're holding part of it in place with your palm. On somebody else, you have to do it all with your fingers, and you don't have enough of them! [/QUOTE]
