Cousin Hair

Michael's sister Kiki has a little girl who is nearly four years old. She's adorable and has always had a full head of hair that her mom has styled in an assortment of cute ways.
Savannah was born bald and her hair took forever to grow. She has only had hair long enough for pony tails for the past 6 mos. and so sitting still to get her hair styled has been a work in progress. When we went to Kenya in September Savannah saw lots of girls with their hair braided and she referred to their hairstyle as "cousin hair." In fact when we visited the salon in Nairobi we were hoping that she would sit still for the stylist to do braids for her too but she refused to cooperate and we didn't want to traumatize her! lol.
Since returning I've thrown the option of "cousin hair" in to the mix when I am doing her hair in the mornings. I only give her two other options (ponytails or a headband) because she is still not a fan of sitting still and I'm not as talented as my sister-in-law Kiki. Well for the past week Savannah has chosen "cousin hair" and this is my collage of her cuteness along with pics of cute cousin Kioni.

I love the cousin hair! I love the time that I get to spend with Brenna when I am doing her hair. I know I spend a lot of time with her right now, but I know it might be some of the only one on one time we have when there are more kids and busier schedules. You will have lots of practice with cousin hair and I am sure you will be just as good as Kiki in no time.

It looks like you have mastered cousin hair quite nicely. Savannah looks adorable. When are you going to attempt Lexi's?
