Got a call from my sister last night...

Turns out that my niece wanted to take my tail to show and tell at her school.

As much as I love and adore my niece, I had to say no - I'm not sure exactly what I'm gonna do with that thing, but I just can't trust a five year-old not to give in to curiosity and unbind it.And I don't even want to think about how hard it would be to get loose hair into a french braid.

a suggestion

Superglue, liberally applied to the cut end, will seal it nicely. I learned this from a friend who did costuming and wigs. I have used it for hairwork braids, and it's very effective. Just be careful (as always) not to include your fingers in the project.

Whoa, I'd be scared, you never know what those kids can come up with, heh :)
