Calling all AA mommies

I need a little help. I have been trying to do different things with Savie's hair and I am just not getting. I have no imagination. I did find a couple of really cute sites like this one and this one, but those are all things that I can't do on her hair. Not just because she's so much younger than most of these ladies daughters but because most of the time I don't have the time to do most of them. I need some help finding other moms who do hair. Any suggestions?

Not sure where to start

I really don't. I have been bouncing around the Internet for most of the evening, trying to focus on things, reading blogs when I came across Rocks' blog and this story and the story that goes with it on MSNBC. I have to say that I kinda, no I do, I agree with the mom in the story. The school can not tell me how to do my child's hair. Now if it was something where kids couldn't see the board then yes, I would do something about her hair. But it's a hairstyle, not a shirt telling people to "Make love not War", or a pair of pants with holes in them or something like that. It's a hairstyle. Now I understand from her comments that this is distracting, and yes teachers have a hard time controlling our kids in school, and yes there are dress codes to try and help with the teasing, and yes most of the time it helps. I understand that taking your kids out of school to go get their nails done is over the top but it's just a hairstyle. Does that mean that when I braid my daughters hair in several braids that it's distracting??? That I have to keep her hair the same as every other child in her class??? SHE will be the only mixed, not of Hispanic descent, child in her class. There are only five other people in the whole town. Maybe I am being to sensitive to this but this makes no sense to me. Am I crazy?? Am I being oversensitive??
