Braided Hair

       Today was our third Sabbath. Every Sabbath the older girl’s hair looks so cool, well okay they all look cute and sweet! The older girl’s braid each other’s and it’s not just one or two French braids, they do the whole braid around their head and forming the braid spiral things! Today Lauren and I commented on it and Mrs. Waid suggested that they do ours. We agreed so we all went up to our room and they braided our hair. Bristy did my hair and Melony did Lauren’s. They either have really tough heads or just have learned to live with the pulling, because when they braid, they do not seem to care about how many hairs they pull or break in the process. When Bristy got near my injury, I told her to be gentle because it is still a little tender, especially with how they pull hair! When I told them I had an injury and Bristy actually found it, she had to show everyone in the room, which was only three girls and Lauren! They used bobby pins to pin the ends of the braids up and make sure it stays in the spiral form. It’s kind of funny, they use a whole lot more bobby pins than are necessary, but they also don’t poke your head when putting them in, even though they don’t use bobby pins on themselves. When they were done Lauren and I took pictures of each other’s heads. They did a very good job of covering my short hair area.
