I'll never forget the first time I saw Mocha Girl One (HmG) . She was an emergency c-section, and had to spend several days in NICU. She was born four days past her estimated due date and looked huge in her incubator. I imagined her to be especially delicate and feminine. I couldn't wait to frill her up, and more importantly to do her hair ! The only reason she wasn't sporting a barrette the day we took her home from the hospital, was because the one I brought to match her lacey outfit, slid right out. Mocha Girl One's baby hair was silky straight and fine. As the weeks rolled by, it became wavier until she had a lovely curly fro. I washed it all the time . I brushed it several times a day . I tried snap clips, and moved to velcro barrets when the clips slid out. I bought a different head band for every outfit. Meanwhile her curls continued to wind tighter and tighter.

great job girl as we say in my country FÉLICITATIONS!!!
ReplyDeleteWould you mind sharing a little bit about the technique she used? did she do box braids? pinch parts? start at the bottom back? the top? has she been twisting her whole head much prior?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is 11 and I think that perhaps with me verbally coaching her and helping with sections she could do a whole head of pinch parts into twists and I'v been considering it lately.
She LOVES braiding her dolls hair and is a fast braider actually but I thought twists might be easier on her own head.
Have you done the same to your head ever? lots of small braids? were you able to give her suggestions from your own experiences or did she come up with her own method?
Thanks!

mom to three who when I am overwhelmed with hair I remind myself of you!
They were initially twists. She did pinch the parts but also used the tail end of a rat tail comb to clean up the parts. I do make suggestions but HmG tweaks it to suit herself. I've worn braids for years before starting my locks with tiny braids. Trial and error, patience and lots of practice is all it takes. I think it's great that your daughter is ready to start.
