Maggie's hairdo

I was just getting Maggie ready to go out, after baths for both kids, and was combing out her hair, and got inspired to try something.




Here's my girl with her hair UP!




Maggie's first french braid! Awwww.

It won't last, it's starting to come down a bit already. It's not quite long enough, really. But we're getting there!

It's also pretty sloppy, I'm out of practice with french braids and I've never tried doing it with hair quite so short, so fine, or on a head so wiggly.

We'll work on it.

Another trick to make it stay a bit better is to moisten the hair, either with water or (better) setting lotion. Also, using smaller chunks of hair with each pickup makes it tighter, although it also means more wriggle time.
