HER HAIR!

WE DID IT!!!!

Took two hours, a cup of cheerios, a bribe of 13 M&M's (one for each braid), two Veggie Tales and Daddy's help watching Gianna, but WE DID IT!!!!!   Now I'm cringing every time her head touches anything and praying that it holds for a week!!!!

A date with Abigail's Hair

I've been gone forever.  Between traveling, Christmas and a cross-country move I just have't had the energy to blog!  To be more accurate, I've wanted to blog, but haven't had the energy to do all the "catch-up" posts that I want to write.  But rather than lament all the things I should have blogged, I'm going to dive in with my latest challenge: Abigail's hair.  I have two styles that I typically do- free hair and pig tails.  Free hair is my favorite- it looks so precious- she rocks the style- and doesn't take as long to do, but I pay the price the next day.  It doesn't hold up for two days and the detangling process is a nightmare for both of us.
Free hair: Look at these precious curls!  (and look how cute my Mom is!)
 We normally style in pig tails.  It takes forever but holds up for a couple of days.
She thought I should dress up as a princess, too. :)
But I'm suffering major hair burn out.  Hair takes over my day three times a week.  Tuesdays and Thursdays and once on the weekend I bathe them both doing a co-wash (conditioner rinse) and then style.  It takes at least an hour.  AT LEAST. It takes over my morning and we can't get out.  I'm trapped in my own house twice a week!!!!

I've been wanting to learn more protective styles that will last more than a couple of days, but I've been so intimidated that I keep putting it off.  But tomorrow's the day.  J is going to watch Gianna for me and I'm going to set up the Dora DVD for Abigail.  I'm going to do the two-strand twists/Rosettes.  I've been studying it all week, bought my supplies today, and am READY to do this girl's hair!!!!

Wish me luck!
