When good hair goes bad...

As some of you know, I've found a lot of fun hairstyles to try on Syd from blogs on the web! I've tried a lot of different styles on her - some that worked, some not so well!! Let's explore one of the "not so well", shall we?!?!

The woman who originally did this style took sections of hair and twisted them until they twisted onto themselves and then secured them. She only did it around the bottom of her daughter's head and when she took them out, she only hair curls at the bottom. So I thought I'd do some around the top too, so that there would be more curls!! Makes sense, right?? HA! Here she is "wrapped up" the night before (she slept on them)!



Always the ham.... :)

So she woke up the next morning (and of course I was running late that morning so I didn't have a lot of time) and we were both excited to see the curls! OH. MY. GOSH!!! I could have NEVER prepared for what we got!!!!!

She had a major frizzed out afro!!! She has such thick hair - those twists took hold and WOW!! Look how short it made her hair!!!!

And of course it was completely unruly and messy!! I certainly couldn't comb them out, because they just frizzed more!!! What was I going to do with this MESS five minutes before I had to leave for work and on a SCHOOL DAY!?!?!?!?! (If she could wear a hat in school, THAT would have been the solution!! LOL!!!)
Always the good sport, she laughed about it!!!! "Hey Bean!! You ARE under there!!!!" :)

Rex said "Are you going to leave it like that?" Uhhhhh HUHLO!?!?!! But it was so thick that I literally couldn't even put it into a ponytail!!!! I FINALLY managed to pull it halfway up and put a LARGE clip in it to keep it out of her face. It was not pretty!


Now granted...she's pretty no matter what her hair looks like...but this is NOT a style we will do again!!!!!! :O

Such a good sport..... :)

"A what, Mike!!!" BUT, you should have seen it, it was REALLY curly. She is such a good sport and loves to have Mommy do all kinds of things to her hair, HOWEVER I KNOW THIS ONE WON"T BE REPEATED!!!
She is so beautiful and I love her face in picture #7 the best! SHe still did look cute-BUT curly even at the end of the day.
She's the best sport!!
