Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and those who are neither, and those who are all; you may have found yourself in a pickle
Now, see, your hair is in a state and you need to get those messy locks neatly tied up so that you can go about your business whilst looking dashing
For today's VEDA, video every day in August, I will be showing you how to plait your hair into a French braid
Pop in a bit of dry shampoo, if need be, rub that in nicely and then section off a handful of hair at the top
Of your head, hold on to that with your right hand and with the other
Comb through the side of your head and find a similar sized piece
Swap it over the section you're holding, flattening any flyaways, and then try to hold both of these in your left hand
keeping each section separate
Comb through the right side of your head and find a similar sized piece and swap that one over with the piece you found from the left
Let the piece on the left hang and collect more hair to add it up from the side
Swap the new larger amount of hair over the middle piece again
So that the new larger amount is now the new middle piece; repeat with the section on the right it is rather difficult
But I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually
Now keep going right until you reach the absolute end of your hair
And then once all the pieces of your hair from the scalp are plaited up, secure your braid
Feel more than free to tug and loosen up your style so you don't look perhaps quite as proper
I enjoy having a few strands around my cheeks
I also find that loosening the hair around the crown and the top of your head adds marvelous volume to your look
Once you're happy, pop on your oversized glasses, mine were a gift from a dear viewer in Orlando, Florida and enjoy
Thank you so much for watching, today's letter is from Elizabeth packaged in a beautiful dotted envelope
She writes that she is not confident in her artistic abilities, but thought to send some finger painted daisies
Splendid, I must say Elizabeth, reading your letter was rather emotional for me. I am so sorry you also deal with
derealisation, as you wrote yes, it is a horrible thing to encounter and to deal with but you are bright
And you ended your letter on a wonderful note, there's always tomorrow; sending along many
Well wishes to you, Elizabeth, and of course to those watching happy videos, happy VEDA and I will see you all tomorrow
