Curly girl #55

The girls had crazy hair day at school again. I took some pictures of the in-the-making-process, but not of the end result :-(

Juliet knew exactly how she wanted it... like she had her hair at Halloween, maybe you remember?? A lot of kids thought it was a wig, because Juliet and Jasmine have such a straight hair. But I found a way to make it so curly, even the texture of the hair seems to change, it is really really curly when you do it this way.

For the crazy hair day, Juliet had it like this, without the make up and the rest of course, just the curls. Jasmine decided to attach all different colors of hair extensions and make it a bit more wild.



So here's my tip to change your child's hair for the day!

You wash it, and then take small strands of hair, I divide her hair in half and each half I take 10 strands, so 20 in total. Then I turn and turn the strands of hair very tightly, keep turning and then you wrap it into a little pile and secure it with a hair elastic.

When all 20 are done, I blow dry it a bit and let her sleep with the curly knots for the whole night. Make sure it is dry before you take out the curls, otherwise it will be all gone very fast.

Take out the elastic bands and uncurl the hair and try to brush it a bit to make it wild, it looks honestly like she has natural curls.





After a shower it's all gone!!

Just curls for a day!

Fun to look different for just a day, but when I asked JJ if she would have liked to have curly hair, she said she rather not... it is so hard to comb ;-)

Glad they like themselves the way they are!!

Mission accomplished... the "I love me" which I wrote about a few days ago is working :-)

Enjoy your Friday, what are your plans for the weekend??
I am flying to the USA tomorrow for my green card extension, so Dirk and the girls are home alone for a whole week.
I will see if I can blog while I am there... going to try!!

Ciao, M xx

Wacky Wednesday #2

Last summer the girls had a 'Crazy Hair Day' at school. So we bought these little blond hair pieces and this is how the girls went to school. Fun, fun, fun!

(By the way: this was at our old house in Ridgefield, CT right on the water's edge of Fox Hill lake. I can see in the background the water... and I miss it, such a lovely place)

Have a Wacky Wednesday :-)

Crazy Hair Day

At Barlow Mountain Elementary school here in Ridgefield they 'celebrated' Crazy Hair day today. So I asked the girls what they wanted to do with their hair. First they said they wanted to dye their hair red like Ariel. So we went to the pharmacy but we couldn't find dye that is washable and we didn't have the time to go to a mall. We started looking around what else we could do and suddenly they saw these blond hairpieces and that was a perfect second choice! Hair as blond as their teachers! Well, that is what they got. However, the teachers don't have hair like this, at least not the style, the color kind of matches, but the girls thought it looked exactly, so happy as can be we went home with the blond hairpieces. For 1 day they will look like their teachers ;-)

Funny how blond hair looks on them, we laughed so loud! These silly hairpieces gave them a new identity for a day!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
