Playing with Goldie's Locks

Mama LOVES to do hair! In fact when she was younger it was a toss up as to weather she would become a teacher or a hair stylist. If she was not teaching some little unsuspecting kid out under the tree, then she was doing somebody's hair. Even her brothers and the dog used to fall victim to her hair doing schemes! A little sister would have helped her in her need to comb, but alas, it never came to pass. And then one day...

SHE WAS BLESSED WITH A DAUGHTER!!!!

Hooray! All her hair dreams were coming true! There was just one little problem.... GOLDIE was BALD!!!
Lucky for Mama (and Goldie if truth be told) her baldness did not last forever! Whew! In fact, the opposite has happened, and Goldie has more hair than even Mama knows what to do with sometimes.
A few weeks ago Mama asked Goldie how she wanted her hair, and Goldie said, "What can you do?" Mama went on to list the different things she could do with her hair, and then Goldie had a brilliant idea! She said, "Mom why don't we take a picture of all the different hairstyles we like so that we can choose from those when we are doing my hair?" WOW! What an ingenious idea! So, we started taking pictures and now we are adding them to our blog so that we might be able to look at them to help us decide how to do Goldie's locks. Here they are:

This is a rope braid, and is a fairly new idea for Mama. She learned it from one of her student's parents.
This culry-do is one of Mama's favorites, but time only allows us to do this one once a year for MayDay. But Goldie is really talented in that these curls will last for several days after the actual event.

This "do" has only happened twice in Goldie's life. Once in a while Mama gets a "wild hair" and decides to do this one, and it cures her for a few years!! Whew! It's a great "do" to do when Goldie is going somewhere without Mama for a while. Then she doesn't need anybody to do her hair!

Here is what happened after thar hairdo!! EEEEKKK!!

One French braid down the back is always a nice way to go.

Down long with a headband is a nice after-braid look.
The "Cob-Web" is one of our favorites! It lasts a LONG time, and we can even wash her hair with it in. Sometimes Mama calls this the Geneology Hair-do because it splits off like a geneology chart.

This is the quick-do we like to do after washing the golden locks. This keeps things somewhat under control.Here is our all time favorite! The zig zag braids. Mama is getting really good at this one. It is a nice cool one for summer time.
