Autumn Mathas has never seen an episode of The Golden Girls, but now it's all she can talk about.

That's thanks to her daughter, 20-month-old Evelyn Mae, who recently scored millions of views on her grandmother's TikTok account @lileviemae with her fluffy curls reminiscent of 1980s favorites Rose, Blanche, Dorothy and Sophia.

"We were just having fun blowing out Evie's hair and then boom, we get millions of views," Mathas, 28, tells PEOPLE. "It just came out of nowhere — I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, it's so crazy."

Mathas and her mom Trina King are both Dallas-based hairstylists, and "we cannot help ourselves but to do her hair," Mathas shares of her little girl. "She was born with quite a bit of it."

The first video to go viral was of Evelyn in the salon getting her first haircut, set to The Golden Girls theme song "Thank You for Being a Friend."

"The way babies' hair grows is almost identical to the same haircut you would do on a Betty White," Mathas explains. "So that was our inspiration to do the blowout, because I was like, her hair is identical to an older lady's haircut, let's see if we can make it into that type of hairstyle. And that's how it started."

Mathas and King use two warmed brushes — a 1-in. round metal brush and slightly smaller round one — to create the curls, followed by a little teasing and hairspray.

As for getting her toddler to sit still for such sessions, Mathas says she's "a really good baby and very patient through all of our hairstyles. We have been working up her tolerance to having to sit and get her hair done for prolonged periods of time since she was really little. So she doesn't really know any different but to behave."

In recent weeks, King, 52, has continued posting videos of Evelyn rocking her hair at the grocery store and home, wearing sweet floral blouses and stick-on earrings, much to the delight of her more than 68,000 followers.

"Everyone has been really, really amazing," Mathas says of commenters. "It's been so wholesome, and we've been greeted with nothing but love."

So will the tot continue channeling the ladies of Miami in videos to come?

"We've been so inspired and it's been a lot of fun," says Mathas, adding as a tease, "I think we might go a different direction. We've been taking ideas from the comments of all the little old lady things you can imagine."
