Curly Hair Practice

For Halloween, Simone will dress up as Snow White, a character who has short hair.  Simone has long straight hair, but that's ok - we have the power of sponge rollers and mousse on our side!

We practiced last Friday night and Simone kept her rollers in all night.  Simone wanted to do the practice run earlier, but I told her she wouldn't get the same effect of surprise (on Halloween) if she went to school with her curly hair.  When Friday night came, she was so excited to get her first rollers in.

She had to check her look immediately.  After just 6 rollers in, she was so curious.

... and tickled with the blossoming transformation

Simone was happy when it was all over, but I think she enjoyed getting my undivided attention to her hair.

She really really likes it!

Max liked the mousse that I put in Simone's hair.   He kept on stealing it and taking it to his Daddy who would put some in Max's hair.  Pretty soon, Max started just putting it in his hair by himself.   Simone wanted to play hairdresser too and put some curlers in my hair.

Simone slept through the night with the curlers.  I was afraid her regular tossing-and-turning would jostle the curls, but they held up pretty well for the most part.

Simone wakes up looking so pretty!

Ta Da!!

Max looks unsure about the whole hoopla we're throwing Simone.

It works!  Simone's hair gets super curly!

It turned out great!  I also learned that the bigger rollers were quite futile . The gentle waves they created were gone in a couple of hours.  On the eve of Halloween, we'll be putting the smallest curlers in Simone's hair so her hair can appear really short!

What do you think of that, Simone?

Gorgeous, darling!
