So I set about to make her wish come true for Picture Day. Rather than spend an unholy amount of time in the morning, I thought I'd give rag rolling a try. And what goes best with rag rolling waist length hair? Of course, watching Pride and Prejudice! While I patiently rolled each section, we enjoyed the ramblings of Mr. Darcy and the Bennetts.
We also discussed our latest read, Catching Fire. Oh how I love teenagers! In fact both my son and my daughter read, I Am Number 4, with me. Ok...I digress...
So this morning I woke up bright and early to "unroll" and see how it turned out. This was the result...
Let me tell you, this picture does not do it justice! She liked it. But when she got home, she was practically bouncing off the walls like Tigger and his amazing corkscrew tail!! "Mom, I loooove curly hair. I want to wear it like this all the time. Mom, I don't care that I didn't buy pics this year....here, look at my Student ID." She was giddy. Her only complaint was that she wanted to wear her hair like this all the time and if putting up in a bun for ballet would ruin her new found love.
My how I love being creative and giving my daughter even more reason to love me. :)

Wow! Beautiful. Rag curls never looked this good on me. That girl has herself some lovely locks.
Ok, I need to know how you did that. She is a gorgeous girl! I love her curly hair.
Ya, I still don't see how you could roll it up so nice and tight like that! Lesson please! And how appropriate to watch P&P while doing so--I love it!
Gorgeous! Thanks for giving me a little know-how the other day!
If I had a video camera, I'd do a tutorial. I guess I just got lucky because it automatically formed those cute little circles. I read a blog and watched a short clip on youtube about it. I didn't really know it would turn out so curly, but am so pleased that it did! I think it would be difficult to do on Brighten's hair...the longer the better in my opinion.
