Her work is amazing, and good for her for carving out some special time with her daughter during their busy days. However, I find it hard to believe these styles only take 15-20 minutes.

These are capable of being done in mornings before school. They are beautiful designs but, its pretty easy braiding once you've had enough practice. The braids can be done in 5-10 minutes and then just another 5-10 minutes more if you thread the ribbons through after the braiding is complete. I've done them on my daughter occasionally, but I don't have the patience to make it a daily habit.

These are so awesome. I wish I could do this.

Wow! I admire your patience :) I am sure Grace loves it. But be careful, one day in the morning her friends might appear at your front door begging you to braid their hair too :)

Amazing! I can hardly get my daughter to allow me to brush her hair and she likes to keep it short :(

Absolutely beautiful! You have an amazing talent, Grace is a very lucky girl.

Absolutely amazing, your work is truly wonderful. You most definitely have a talent. I honestly think you should open a professional salon as I am sure that many women and girls would be thrilled to have you work your magic on their hair. You are indeed gifted.

Amazing. Takes a lot of effort. Takes a lot of hair. Lol

Hasn't anyone had their hair braided like this? It's not very pleasant. I guess absolutely no one is going to say that these obviously take a really long time, having your hair braided is really uncomfortable while it lasts and the braids hurt all day and that this could give her neck pain or to go bald. But hey the mom gets compliments and that's all that matters.

Beautiful work mom! Be careful with how tight you are making those braids, however. The stress on the scalp can cause hair loss that can't be reversed.

I would love a how to on some of these, especially the heart lattice one. Pretty please?

Those braids are awesome!you should create a book of braids ,and sell them to salons!

My grandma used to do this for me when I was a kid. They were gorgeous hairstyles, if a little less complicated. My hair put me constantly under the spotlight. I was proud of my hair at the beginning, I felt like a princess in a fairy tale, but soon realized that the other kids though I was asking my grandma to do this to show off. I started to feel guilty, but I was afraid to ask my grandma to stop because I didn't want to hurt her; so to compensate I stopped wearing girly clothes and tried to act more like a boy, so that my girl classmates would not feel like I was competing to be the prettiest or something. Dumb uh. But I was 8, what could i possibly know? I kept my tomboyish looks and behavior for years, even after I cut my hair short (1 inch short). I felt like I was out of place anytime I putt on any sort of frill. I still feel uncomfortable when I try to pretty myself up. Maybe your kid is different, but just in case I wouldn't force my hobby on her like that.

Beautiful mother - daughter duo and their creations! I just hope it is not too tight for lil Grace. Or maybe it just looks like that in the pics...

That's really cool

Where are the video tutorials? You could be making some good money on youtube.

Amazing and so creative

This proves that hair is the ultimate patchwork for weaving. The only trouble is finding a willing participant. I doubt my daughter would appreciate the effort regardless of how beautiful it made her hair.

You are amazing! I did something similar, only my daughter is mixed and has much more course hair. I utilized videos on YouTube the most and have always loved doing her hair. I will definitely be following your page on Facebook!

Shelley - please start a channel on YouTube.com featuring tutorials. Thank you for sharing, you are so talented!

OMG that is so cool

Absolutely beautiful! Well done. I wish I could have done this with my daughter's hair. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful! It does make my head hurt though just seeing how tight they are - A lovely thing for Mom and daughter to share -

The "whoa!" effect accomplished. Brilliant job!

These are lovely designs, my girlfriend gets her hair braided everynow and then. I always enjoy the look of it, I wish she would do it more often!

真棒

Lady, you are soo talented!!!

Shelley is truly an artist.

Mom is lovely, her child is aptly named: Grace. Because she certainly seems to represent grace itself. The braiding is exquisite and both mom and Grace are enjoying this art.

Amazingly beautiful work... Mom and daughter are so pretty. Wonder how early this child has to get up in the morning?!

I need u to do my hair some day

Anazing

She has a lot of time with her hands

Her hair makes me go Ew! Bet she's unpopular in school.

This is amazing but this is a portfolio - there is no way that this mom braids these braids before school every morning - such designs take over an hour to complete. So at least put a decent headline for it.
