Trying curly hair.

I naturally have wavyISH hair. I usually wake up with curls underneath and straightish on top. I flat iron it most days. As a kid my mom tried everything on my hair. My first memory of being embarrassed was the day my mom sponge rolled my hair for my nursery school picture day.

I am still horrified now but at least now I dig the little outfit. Hello 1982!

So fasforward 27 years and I saw this post by Love Maegan about sponge rolling and getting big ass hair out of it. I figured why not!

I let my hair dry for a few hours and did it while it was damp. An episode of Footballer's wives and 44 roller later I was ready to wait.

I slept on it over night and this was after removing one of them.
I had decided not to do my bangs as they are really a part of me and I don't like how I look without them. I figured I would swoop them when I was done.

I had a little bit of a hard time removing them. A couple had knotted a little from sleeping on them. I finger combed them a little and slapped a headband to run out the door for a vet appointment.
About an hour after removing. It was also POURING out.

This is a few hours later and a lot of rain later.

I am hoping to leave them until at least tomorrow. I have a feeling it might be great waves tomorrow. All in all it wasn't too bad. The hardest part was putting them all in. Especially with as much and as thick of hair as I have. Next time I would put the larger rollers on top instead of the smallest. It made for way too tight curls on the top of my head.
