Mother braids her daughter's hair in intricate, beautiful patterns every morning!

While our family is lucky to get our kids in their shoes every morning, Melbourne, Australia stylist Shelley Gifford creates these insanely intricate braids in her daughter's hair before school. See more at her Instagram feed, @prettylittlebraids. (Whenever I see wild braids, I always think of bOING bOING co-founder Carla Sinclair's wonderful 2003 book, Braid Crazy!) From Gifford's post at Bored Panda:

I braid Grace’s hair most days and take the photo of the style in the morning before Grace leaves for school. I only have approx 15-20 minutes on a school morning so if it can’t be done in this time I leave it for weekend. Grace is fantastic, I’ve been styling her hair since she was a toddler so she doesn’t know any different. It’s her quiet time for TV after she is ready for school so she is more than happy to sit there. I love doing something that I’m so passionate about and that Grace gets to be a part of it. She’s sweet, affectionate and beautiful little girl. Grace is everyone’s friend. …I love learning new styles, advancing my skills and challenging myself to create something new and unique.
