Bella's been curling her dreadlocks. A spritz of water the night before to dampen them, then they're twisted up in three or four buns and tied in a scarf. In the morning, she lets them down, and: glamour.
Curly locks, curly locks wilt thou be mine? thou shalt not wash dishes nor yet feed the swine but sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam and dine upon strawberries sugar and cream.
Lovely! I have an African daughter (from Ethiopia) and would love to learn about dreads. Do you have any recommendations? Does she have a special hair stylist? How old was she when she first put them in?
love the hair--I'm chuckling at the word glamour--and the word drama sneaks in--aren't all kids that age having both??! And I remember the eye-rolling--and DD thinking her parents were "so not with it"! Its amazing how when they are older--their parents are so much smarter then they were.
It's fun to have a variety of looks to take advantage of with our hair. :o) and when it's as easy as this, so much the better. I think I was about Bella's age when I became very interested in a new "do" every couple weeks or so. It was fun to experiment!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

My kids love that nursery rhyme.
Bella is beautiful, as always.
