I am so busy with the move that I took the girls to their hairstylist for cornrows.  Claudine’s were put in right before we went to the beach.  Unfortunately, it was so crazy around here that I did not get pictures of them before they were trashed by the sand, water and sun.  They are a little frizzy now but these photos still show the general style.

The back was styled so that a series of parts ran to the center to form a pony tail. 

Roseline’s hair is still a bit fine so it does not stay put easily in braids but becomes horribly tangled if left free.  I decided to run her into the beauty shop yesterday when the hairstylist had an opening to get her first set of professional cornrows.  Even if they are frizzy, I will leave them up until after the move.

I washed and combed Ro’s hair before we left so the stylist only needed to braid it.  She got started around 12:45pm and we were back in the van around 3:00pm.  Roseline was very patient and good, much better than when she is with me

Here is a view from the side:

The girls’ hairstylist is Vicky Seapker at In Vu Hair Studio in Franklin, TN.  She is terrific and cuts not only black women and girls’ hair but a lot of white guys hair, and little boys of every color.  She is very unusual in this and I love the fact that she is steam rolling over the racial line!  If you are in the middle TN area, you should give her a try.
