Can you braid my hair like Mariah?

We I am getting ready for our trip home, trying to pack all the stuff we'll need for the two weeks is getting harder with each child we add to this family.  Our next door neighbor is gong to watch Mason for us while we're gone, her name is Mariah.  Her whole head is done in long braids and the girls are totally smitten with her pretty hair.  She's been coming over at night to get used to Mason since she's never had a pet before so every time she comes the girls are all over her and her braids.  They keep asking me to do their hair like hers and they just don't understand why it can't be done.  Peanut decided she would do it herself since I couldn't do it, here is her attempt.
