Shelley Gifford from Melbourne, Australia braids her daughters hair every morning before school. She saves the more complicated styles to try on the weekends when she has more time. Her instagram is @prettylittlebraids if you want to check out more.

FP edit: send me cool science and nature stuff?

#1 Looks like a football.

What kind of small humanoid can sit still long enough for this hair magic?!

The real witchcraft is getting the girls to stay still for long enough.

I like the Pentgram one, seems appropriate for such witchcraft.

I want to get my hair done up like this when i get married. I'm a dude.

There's no shame in that. If your hair is long enough, you could probably get a cool, some what manly geometric pattern.

"What do you want?" "HAIL SATAN" "Say no more fam."

Not satan- normally it's the Lord and Lady. I believe with Satanism, the star is upside down, whereas with Paganism, its like the picture :)

you are right! I was just joking around though haha. Religion aside pentagrams are cool symbols.

Do you need straight hair for this? I think my head would've been a big fuzz ball if my parents tried this when I was little

For most of these styles and to look like this, yes. But curly, unruly hair is a good reason to get your hair braided.

I would actually love to braid a pentagram onto my head every day.

"Mom, can you braid my hair for the party?" "Sure honey, what kind of party?" "Oh you know, from the cult..." "Pentagram it is."

Witchcraft (also called witchery or spellcraft) broadly means the practice of, and belief in, magical skills and abilities that are able to

I honestly only liked one or two, I found the rest to be pretty ugly.

10 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 2

Agreed. While I admire the skill involved, most of them are not pretty or flattering and look so overly teased and moulded.

As a guy, I'd quite like to have the rings/chainmail one. . .

What is equally impressive to the obvious skill here is that children sat still long enough for this to be done

I wish my mom was able to braid my hair like that when I was younger.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I wonder how they got the kids to sit for this? I was a terror as a kid, you could barely brush my hair.

I used to love my mom braiding my hair unless she tried to poof my bangs. It felt so nice getting combed.

I bribe my kid... or lock her down with my legs and braid real quick. They're not pretty though.

Sounds like what my parents had to do. Haha

Sometimes my 6 yr old will let me do her hair in complicated styles, but only on weekends. No patience in the mornings before school.

@OP is not wrong.. #5 definitely looks like a pentagram

Why? For the glory of Satan of course.

technically it's a pentacle which is the opposite of a pentagram.

You don't fuck with the girl with the pentagram

Wish I could do stuff like this for my daughters! All I know is a basic braid, I can't even do French braid or fish tail

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If you can braid, you can french braid. Try it! You'll be surprised.

YOUTUBE. Taught me how to do my kid's hair. Look up the "pull through braid", it's super easy and cute. Not an actual braid tho.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I've tried learning from YouTube, I ended up getting frustrated because I just could not get the hang of it

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's normal. Then all of the sudden you can do it and you wonder why you thought it was so hard.

i would have to tranquilize my daughters to be able to do any of those

I couldn't even remotely think this would be possible on a 3 year old. Maybe in a year or so :)

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I was thinking the same thing. i would love to be able to do something like that with my daughters hair but at 3 it isn't going to happen.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

will someone please do this with my hair? :P

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Sure, I'll do it. It'll cost you 30$ an hour with a 30$ minimum. The "african hair braiding" or wedding places will charge you at least 100$

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Nice! I love braids! And generally having people touch my hair :) eh, in the not-creepy way...

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No, I understand. I like it too. I especially like to have it done really tight, but I usually can't keep it like that for too long.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Me neither. My hair is thick and wavy and does not care how I want it. Let loose it can compete with any lions mane :P

Anyone else get scalp pain and flash backs of mothers yelling as your eyelids are being pulled up over your forehead? Or just me.

My mom barely knew how to do a ponytail. My dad was the one who taught me how to braid.

I felt the smack of the hairbrush too...just because I moved to keep my ass cheek from cramping.

My 2-yr-old whines when I comb his long curls. I just tell him "Next time I'll let Grandma do it. See how that feels. See what I dealt with"

My aunts tried so hard to braid and curl my hair but it's so thick and stick straight it was just not worth it. Got a pixie instead.
