Practice practice practice! It's the only way. And as other's have said- make sure her hair isn't clean as it will be much too flyaway to hold the style.

My sister used to be part of a dance troupe that needed hair done a certain way- are you travelling on a bus with other girls/ mums? Someone with a bit more experience should be happy to do your DDs hair- maybe you could offer to whiten/wipe dance shoes or something in return?

I am going up on the bus. But DD's only been going to cheerleading since June so I don't know many of the other mums, or their ability for plaiting, so I'd rather build on my own skills to be sure!

I always do mine wet. Yes, they do relax a little, but, to their benefit, otherwise you get that frightening slickhead and facelift look: not attractive I think. (on the other hand I have curly hair and that might influence why.)
