Curls Gone Wild

Oh we had a vision! We decided that we wanted to roll our daughter's hair in rags (see picture above) so that they could have adorable Shirley Temple hair. The picture below is exactly what we were going for! We found two methods of "how to rag tie your hair". (As opposed to "how to tie a Du rag, which we found plenty of links.) We chose the one that looked the cutest in the rags (like the above picture).

And so began our quest. We cut up the rags, wet down the girls hair, turned on an entertaining movie, and started rolling hair. It did look cute in the rags, but I must say that the cuteness ends there. We knew we were in trouble when we untied the first rag in Tessa's hair and it all but retreated back into the hair follicle.

Which reminded us of this...
and her turning around didn't make a difference. It looked like this...
which has quite a resemblance to this...

No, dear Richard, you didn't just look in a mirror. But you did get a glimpse of what your children would look like.
Needless to say, after laughing so hard we almost wet ourselves, the quest of finding the perfect curl was a TOTAL failure.
