Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's cute in her light-up glasses. It's not about the glasses. Take a look at that precision french braid across Violet's head. She can sleep in that bad boy and it doesn't budge. This may seem like a small accomplishment to some, but Violet's bangs have been the bane of my existence since late 2006. Barrettes fall out, head bands just FAIL and cutting requires more maintenance than I have the patience for. I will not pay someone to cut the bangs for me. THAT would be madness in my mind, considering I barely get myself in for a haircut when necessary. I am also no good at french braiding. My crafty fingers turn to clumsy vienna sausages when faced with manipulating fine hair into orderly plaits. The forehead braid, however, seems to be my strong suit. With just the right amount of dampness, I can wrangle the hair comfortably and not have to worry about it falling into Violet's cereal the next morning.
2003 Kelly would have started daydreaming about old episodes of Friends about halfway through this conversation.
Sigh.
*I guess I do need a vacation. Thanks for all the advice, by the way.
Braiding hair is one quality I lack (among many). Love the glasses.
ReplyDeleteFor vacation, have you considered Montreal?
I love her hair. I'm going to have to try that with Caitlin's hair. I'd love to get rid of the bangs.
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm way more inept than that. We have been using the "pony bang" technique on Binny's hair for years because we can't come up with anything better. I'm just waiting for the day when she requests a more mature hairstyle. The baby fountain hair look will have to be updated...
ReplyDeletePrincess has this super long, beautiful hair that screams out for french braids. However, I am truly incapable of creating them. I am truly impressed with the forehead braid!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cute! I love me a forehead braid, but have no idea how to go about doing it. Perhaps you could post an instructional video?
ReplyDeleteOh my. I have the same kind of hair. It's been the bane of my existence since 1963... Can you come braid mine please?
ReplyDeleteBraids? Where, where!!!???
ReplyDeleteLOL, I love the glasses. And whatever I can see of the braids, I love too.
stellar braid. really.
ReplyDeleteHD has only recently grown hair of any real amount and the bangs are driving me crazy already. I feel your pain.
and they're bugging her too. she's already begun to perfect the head toss to get the bangs out of her face. she's two. I mean, come on.
will DEFINITELY use that braid trick. thanks.
