hair styles @ yearning for zion ranch on oprah

**susiemw** · March 30th, 2009, 03:14 PM

Did anyone see Oprah today?

there was a short clip of one of the women who had beautiful
long (never saw the total length so I'm not sure how long but it was LONGGGG) hair doing her hair.

She had the front part poofed up, then it looked like a rope braid on each side which she did something with (twisting them both together at the crown? twisting together than topsy turving?) then ended in a rope braid.

there were some nice braids on those women and children. I wish they'd do some youtube videos

which since they didn't even know who oprah was, seems highly unlikely.

Just an FYI, but Zion Ranch is one of the FLDS compounds that was raided for polygamy and child brides....

While their hair might be nice and long, I don't think most people would want to go live there. It is also very conceivable they don't know who Oprah is...they probably don't own TVs...that is how conservative the sect is.

Don't underestimate the web savvy of these ladies.

thanks, that was all evident on the show.
oprah went to interview them at their ranch.
it's not a way I'd want to live but will say they are
talented at braiding hair.

very interesting!

Anyone know where I could find the clip from Oprah? I'm kinda obsessed with cults/FLDS (read an awesome book on them).
Edit: Found it! http://www.oprah.com/dated/oprahshow...lygamist-ranch
There's a "Hair How-To". I'm gonna go watch them...

I totally went straight there, too.

Oprah went there? Don't they consider her in league with the satan because of her dark skin?

Anyone ever watch "Big Love?" Chloe Sevigny's character got called "the Braid" by the surrounding neighbors. For those of you who don't know, it's an HBO series about an FLDS family trying to blend in, in the suburbs of Utah outside of the ranch.

The Big Love family is not FLDS, they do not follow any prophet as of season 2. They are two former mainstream Mormons, one FLDS(she's from a compound, not necessarily the same as Yearning for Zion), and one non Mormon who is baptized into their own little version of Mormonism during season 2.

I do love their hair on Big Love. Margene has been growing hers out during season 2, which is all the episodes I've seen so far.
I love Barb's curls, and wish she'd grow it longer.
Nikki's hair always looks like mine on a bad hair day, I think she needs some oils or leave in conditioner.
Can't wait for season 3 to come out on DVD!
