Curlers

My mom meticulously fixed mine and Mandy's hair when were little girls.  We always had perfectly trimmed bangs and cuts.  She put our hair up in cute styles complete with bows and clips. One trick of hers to make our hair look so cute was to put curlers in our hair before bedtime. I remember sleeping on those curlers many many nights when I was little. Oh the discomfort! I had to wiggle just right so as not to feel those bulky sponges and plastic clips digging into my scalp. I'm actually surprised she got us to wear them; I mean, I wonder what kept me from just ripping them all out in the middle of the night?

Now, 20 some odd years later, my mom can still work her magic with the curlers.  She got Scarlett to sit still long enough to put many curlers in her hair.

We didn't make her sleep in them, but she surprisingly kept them in all morning.  Here she is after her little makeover! I don't think she will let me put them in her hair; there's just something about Grandma that makes her willingly give in!
