On Friday morning, I got ambitious. Earlier in the week, I had bought some beads for Mahalia's hair & decided that Friday was the day to try them out.
As usual, we washed her hair & combed it out . . . so far, so good. Then I popped in Toy Story (her new favorite movie, with what she calls "Bugs Life Year" instead of Buzz Lightyear :-) and started to part out the hair. I got everything sectioned off & mostly braided. But then it was time for yoga, so she went looking 1/2 crazy (or rather, her mother did).
Once we got back, it took another hour & a half. By the time all was said & done, it took a total of 3 hours, two run throughs of Toy Story & all of Mahalia's patience. She was BEGGING me to stop at the two hour mark - but by then we were so invested. So another round of torture later . . . and here's the final product. Not bad, but soooo not worth it!
Beautiful! M's hair really looks cute!! Sorry it took so long... The great thing is that you shouldn't have to do it again for a few days. Mihret wants me to braid her hair these days because she's figured out that I'll leave her alone for 4 or 5 days after that. :)
It looks really cute but I can't imagine how trying this was for both of you! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I'm really impressed! And thankful that short hair on boys is still just fine. I don't think I have braiding in me; )
ReplyDeleteEm, it looks good but boy do I hear you on 3 hours!
