Another week down. This one was a little tougher. I had a wisdom tooth extracted on Monday so maybe a little cheating done on Monday and Tuesday's pictures but they were all from this week! So get over it!

Bubbles!
What else can I say?
2010: 05/12Hairstyle for most of the week - usually takes me over an hour to put her hair in "squiggles" but I learned a new technique that saves us so much time. Read on.
2010: 05/11
Read about a technique called "stretching" - basically banding the hair while wet and then styling after it's dry. Then it doesn't scrunch up and frizz on you. There is also a technique called "braid out" - basically you take down your cornrows carefully and you can get a couple days out of a stretched curly style. So every night, I've been putting Mari's hair in loose flat twists and then in the morning I just very lightly spritz with water, add a little Curly Cake Shake and carefully take down the twists. And you have instant "squiggles"!! And they don't shrivel up because they are already dry!!!!!! No more hours and hours of finger twisting. BTW, the picture above is her squiggles after about 12 hours of wear and tear! Below is the flat twists (they take me about 15-20 minutes before bed).

She looks so grownup with earrings. Very cute.
Hope you are recovering well and quickly from the wisdom teeth surgery.
Hey Jill,
When you put the hair in loose twists, do you have to do the perfectly even parts? Would the squiggles work the next day if it wasn't parted evenly?

Loved all the pics! Great tips on the hair, I'm going to have to try that!!!
Hope your tooth is feeling better.

I always love Mari's hari styles!! She always styling' thanks to her cool mommy!
Love the twists - I just can't make her sit for that many twist - YET! We started doing the conditioner in the tub at night and then I separate the hair into 8sections and braid it - let it out in the morning and spritz! So far so good!!! Maybe I'll try the twists tonight and see if the she is patient enough.
