Have now evolved to proper parting before twisting. And, since these pics, have learned to put in a few braid "stitches" at the beginning of each twist to make the base tighter - so hopefully the twists will last longer. Some moms are getting 3-4 WEEKS out of their daughters' twists - I am lucky to get 3-4 DAYS before they are super-fuzzy. Hopefully the new technique will pay off ('cuz it takes a little longer to put these twists in).
When time and/or patience (mine or Ebba's) is in short supply, little puffs (pigtails) are quicker. Have tried 4 and 8:
They will last maybe 3-4 days before needing re-doing. I think her hair is a little short "around the edges", and the short bits pull out and go wild. A friend is making me some satin crib sheets that will hopefully reduce friction (and therefore fuzziness).
Her hair is getting long enough now (4+ inches when pulled out straight) that leaving it free is not really a good choice (tho I usually do it for a day or two a week), bec it pulls so much to comb it through (even when I wet it down with water and de-tangler btw baths) that we end up in tears.
