Ryan's straw straight hair

I remember when I was younger I used to wish that I had straight hair, I was always frustrated with my very thick hair and it's natural curls/waves. Now I have a daughter that has straight hair and it makes me appreciate my thick curls. Trying to curl Ryan's hair is a joke, the curl is seriously gone within 20 minutes. She had a perm last spring it lasted for maybe 2 months. A few months ago I bought some rag curlers (pieces of cloth with sponge and wire stitched inside)because Suzan told me that is how her mother got her hair to curl when she was little.
















Anyway I have used them before when Ryan still had long hair and they actually worked pretty well but I had put them away and forgot about them. Yesterday as we were getting ready to go to the drive-in with to see Night at the Museum with Shane and Anngee I found them and tied Ryan's hair up (I wish I took pics with the curlers in, they look so cute!!) she wore them from 7 pm yesterday until 11 am today, here are the results.

you know when you showed that curler on the blanket, it sort of looks like another kind of pad(if you know what I mean)It took me a minute to figure out that it was the picture of the curler.Her hair looked cute, good job, remember I used to put your hair in a pony tail on top of your head and use perm rods to curl your hair. That was so you could sleep on it without it hurting your head all night.I guess that is old school though.

She did look cute with them in her hair last night. It turned out well. My Mom use to do rags on me but also those hard pink honeycomb ones with a pick through them. There was no sleeping in those!

Those curls bring back memories of picture day!

I totally know how it feels to have super straight hair that wont hold a curl for more than 10 minutes! Very frustrating!

Ryan looks super cute with that curly hair!

I think it looks way cute! Rae's hair is the same way, the perm we got her for her b-day is all but gone!!
