I think it appears to be straightened...but hey, what do I know? I"m the one that won't perm or relax (really the same thing) our babies' hair until they're much older!!! LOL
But.....a new thing happened last week. I actually got stopped by a guy parked next to me asking what I used on the girls' hair. When I told him, he suggested I use stuff (that I've already used), in order, basically, to slather it down-flat--on their head. I don't like that artificial look (plastic look), but he was nice enough to continue to talk about it.... (sigh)
Not only that, I then got the entire comment asking, 'Do I braid their hair'? And I told them I had AA relatives that had braided their hair; they cried two hours later; and I took it down on more than one occasion. I'm not sure they believed me; but then, two other passengers started to talk about all of this (all men). While I tried to explain that my children live on a farm...that we'd been playing wildly all day (this was the end of a hot day)....and I understood their point of view (just wasn't planning to do what they suggested now)......I suddenly realized that ALL of them had shaved heads!
*Not* that this made a lot of differnce...I know it's not unusual....but it was sort of funny to think about it later on, KWIM?
Back to the OT.....our main problem is even after we've used the hot iron (electric....not on the stove) to straighten, their hair doesn't stay straight for more than a short time---at best. My oldest's hair is VERY thick, very tightly curled and it seems to take forever to go through so much hair when it doesn't last that long, KWIM?
Any hints to that point?....and concerning Obama's daughters.....aren't they just so cute as well? It'll be great to see little ones growing up in the White House!
Sincerely,
Linny
