Instead of braids, she brushed her hair into a ponytail.
The braids had to be untangled in order to shampoo the mud from her hair.
Even the way she wore her hair, with those braids wrapped around the top of her head like a crown and the long shiny blond curls falling around her shoulders and down her back – she wasn't simply beautiful.
You will notice my braids are tied with yellow, pink, brown, red, green, white and black; but I have no blue ribbons.
The braids not only held it out of her eyes, but thinned the bottom part down enough that it would lay loose across her shoulders and down her back without frizzing.
