　　The mum says that generally it only takes her 15 to 20 minutes to do Grace's hair before school. If she's attempting something more difficult or time consuming she leaves it for the weekend.

　　这位妈妈说，通常情况下为Grace梳辫子只需要花费15到20分钟的时间，如果她想尝试难度更大或者更耗时的发式，她会等到周末再加以实践。

　　Ms Gifford said she always loved braiding but really got creative with it when she discovered the online braiding 'community'.

　　Gifford夫人说，她一直很喜欢编头发，但她正常开始做出富有创造性的发型，是在她发现了一个在线编发“社团”之后。

　　She then started her own Instagram account and Facebook page to post pictures of the styles she did on Grace's hair, but never expected the accounts to be so popular.

　　接着她注册了自己的Instagram账号和脸书网账号，并且在这些网页上发布了自己为Grace编好的时尚发辫，不过她没想过自己的页面居然会如此受欢迎。

　　She said that whilst³ the account has generated⁴ a lot of attention online, in real life she tries to keep it 'low key' for Grace and make sure the photos focus on the styles and not her young daughter.

　　她说，尽管她的页面在网上吸引了许多人关注，但在现实生活中，她会设法让Grace保持低调，保证拍出的照片以发型为重点，而不是她的小女儿。
