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.
Bugofbelgium
Isn't she a bit young for so many shots of the back of her head?
paeches
1 and 11 look like the ribbon is holding their head closed
newkarthago
As a 28 yo bald male... wow!!
Tinkerbellprincess
What kind of small humanoid can sit still long enough for this hair magic?!
Ireallyhopethisnamewillfitohmygoditdid
The real witchcraft is getting the girls to stay still for long enough.
sorrynotsorryimnotcanadian
I like the Pentgram one, seems appropriate for such witchcraft.
corneliusgansevoort
I want to get my hair done up like this when i get married. I'm a dude.
atombongsmoker
There's no shame in that. If your hair is long enough, you could probably get a cool, some what manly geometric pattern.

For a minute there I though I had stumbled into pinterest

Who gave that football a pair of shoulders?

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 :)
aWaveOfBabies
you are right! I was just joking around though haha. Religion aside pentagrams are cool symbols.
BattyWhack
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
atombongsmoker
For most of these styles and to look like this, yes. But curly, unruly hair is a good reason to get your hair braided.
creepwood
don't get your pentagrams in a bunch, she's getting what's coming to her in due time. carry on
Felextheminimal
Pro tip, dont do the pentagram one of your kid goes to school anywhere in the 'bible belt'
keurah
any more of those hairstyles and she will get kidnapped by a dragon
Number1Nun
I would actually love to braid a pentagram onto my head every day.
thatsOneDoomedSpaceMarine
"Mom, can you braid my hair for the party?" "Sure honey, what kind of party?" "Oh you know, from the cult..." "Pentagram it is."
nimrodd000
Well, it did say braiding witchcraft

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

be exercised individually by designated social groups, or by persons with the necessary esoteric secret knowledge.

I honestly only liked one or two, I found the rest to be pretty ugly.
purplepolkadots
Agreed. While I admire the skill involved, most of them are not pretty or flattering and look so overly teased and moulded.
Griff3923
As a guy, I'd quite like to have the rings/chainmail one. . .
tropicanah
Those look super uncomfortable
MsLycanthropy
What is equally impressive to the obvious skill here is that children sat still long enough for this to be done
Jay1Rage
I wish my mom was able to braid my hair like that when I was younger.
theUnicornsfearglitter
I wonder how they got the kids to sit for this? I was a terror as a kid, you could barely brush my hair.
RoundThreeFIGHT
I used to love my mom braiding my hair unless she tried to poof my bangs. It felt so nice getting combed.
mediumsizedtittycommittee
I bribe my kid... or lock her down with my legs and braid real quick. They're not pretty though.
theUnicornsfearglitter
Sounds like what my parents had to do. Haha
Momof2needsabreak
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.
theUnicornsfearglitter
Wow. That's pretty impressive.
acciohorcrux
@OP is not wrong.. #5 definitely looks like a pentagram
TheGingerBeardedBiologist
Why? For the glory of Satan of course.
NekokoVerena
technically it's a pentacle which is the opposite of a pentagram.
CaptVito
You don't fuck with the girl with the pentagram
butitsmybirthday
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
carolinaguuurl
If you can braid, you can french braid. Try it! You'll be surprised.
mediumsizedtittycommittee
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.
butitsmybirthday
I've tried learning from YouTube, I ended up getting frustrated because I just could not get the hang of it
carolinaguuurl
That's normal. Then all of the sudden you can do it and you wonder why you thought it was so hard.
whatsgoodforthegoose
i would have to tranquilize my daughters to be able to do any of those
sarzaya
Right!? I can barely get in two pigtails, roughly balanced, before she squirms away.
whatsgoodforthegoose
and how long before event that is undone?
ablank29
"Ain't nobody got time for that" me as a mom to my possible future daughters
Meradactyle
My family friend/glorified sister has 3 girls and there've been times when I pick them up from school & half of their hair is brushed
carolinaguuurl
The other mothers prob hate her.
Selenophiliac
My 3 year old fidgets and fusses over a ponytail....
ablank29
I couldn't even remotely think this would be possible on a 3 year old. Maybe in a year or so :)
PirateRubberDuck
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.
InqSerena
will someone please do this with my hair? :P
atombongsmoker
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$
InqSerena
Nice! I love braids! And generally having people touch my hair :) eh, in the not-creepy way...
atombongsmoker
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.
InqSerena
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
darkladyfunk
Anyone else get scalp pain and flash backs of mothers yelling as your eyelids are being pulled up over your forehead? Or just me.
rattlesnail
My mom barely knew how to do a ponytail. My dad was the one who taught me how to braid.
DasDovian
I felt the smack of the hairbrush too...just because I moved to keep my ass cheek from cramping.
TheStickyWicket
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"
thornmallow
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.
cuttlefishsticks
I have never had hair long enough to braid like this any my scalp hurt looking at some of these.
VLCisacone
I used to get headaches and scalp pains from tight ass buns and pony tails.
darkladyfunk
Me too
smoochmysnoot
Braid comfortable..except for that ONE hair that's gonna pull all day long
Wasnothereyet
I actually loved how tight my mom would braid my hair.
sarzaya
My mom used to say, "It hurts to be beautiful." Those words left scars.
howdoiscience
That's a bit of a messed up way of looking at beauty.
tortorlou
"It's better to look good than to feel good" -my mom, as my scalp felt like it was coming off
hellfrogger
Mine would smack me in the head with the brush in her hand if my wandering eyes were dragging my head.
darkladyfunk
Mine too she would cruse in German & thought she didn't know what she was saying haha. My hair would always come undone after an hour or 2
