Good news, everyone!
It turns out I can still french braid my own hair.
Of course, it also turns out that I still have trouble with the tricky transitional part just above my neck, which is why I have cleverly obscured that part with a startlingly unphotogenic ribbon. (Seriously, I don't know what happened there. It's a perfectly respectable-looking ribbon in real life.)
Incidentally, I really like the way that the neckline on my shirt sort of manages to suggest that my head is on backwards.
