I have been wanting to get Macie's hair done for a long time now, but I couldn't find anyone in town to do it (I didn't look very hard either), but our friends have their daughter's hair done down in Utah...but they pay $150 every time they get it done. I didn't have the extra $$ nor did we want to make a trip to Utah just to have her hair done.
Well I was on the internet the other night looking for directions on how to braid or twist or add extentions to African American hair. I found a website that sold DVD's showing how to do this. I showed it to Jay and then debated about it for a few days. I would get on the internet and watch the short little clips they had every day, and finally we decided it was worth the $59, to buy the DVD. If we didn't like them then we got a full refund...so I would only be out shipping.
Well, we got the videos last night and I watched one of them this morning while I ate my cereal. After the 10 minute video I decided to attempt it, thinking I would just practice and maybe try in a week or two after I practiced a little more each day.
Well, my practice twists turned out pretty good so I kept on going...and FIVE hours later...we ended up with this
Macie sat really well for about 2 1/2 hours and then I could only do a few twists randomly through out the rest of the day or she would get really angry and squirm around too much. I think she did great though...I was getting pretty squirmy myself. Hopefully they stay in for a while...if not, then I will just try some more. I think they look pretty darn cute, and I saved $100 by doing it myself!

You did such a great job!! It makes her look grown up!! That will save you money in the long run!! After doing the two older girls hair--Paisley's will be easy huh??
Her hair is so cute....you did such a good job for a first-timer. There is NO way I would be able to do that!!
TOO CUTE! She does look grown up. And my girls hate having their hair even brushed, there is NO WAY I would get them to do something like that.
WOW! You did a great job! And what a job! She's so good to sit for that long. Her hair is getting so long! What a cutie! :)
Sorry! I left a comment but misspelled some words so I wanted to try to fix it, but I ended up deleting the whole comment. Anyway...SO CUTE!! You did a fabulous job. I know that is something I would never be able to accomplish even if I did watch a DVD on how to do it. That is so crazy she sat and let you do that for five hours! What a trooper! :)
What a beautiful little girl! She has such pretty eyes. I can not believe she let you do that! How long will it stay so cute? I hope that this will not have to become a daily routine! I hope that your little family is doing good. I am wondering how 4 kids is? I don't think I am quite ready for 3, but ready or not, here I come! What a darling darling family!
LOVE it! It looks so great! I would never have the patience to do it!
Macie's hair looked so cute on Sunday - no wonder! What a mom!
