Since I haven't mustered up the courage for the big chop, I'm still looking for styles I can pull off during my transition. I trusted a new stylist, who recommended a tight roller set. You know the bendy rods that look like something children would play with? She used the smallest ones I think I've ever seen.
It's been years since I subjected myself to a roller set, mostly because of how long it would take to dry my hair. Yesterday, I sat under the dryer for more than 90 minutes, and there were still sections of my hair that didn't dry completely. The rods were wrapped tight and it was painful.
As a result, I have the tightest curls I've every had in my life. The stylist assured me the curls would loosen over time. "You could wear these for three weeks," she said. If that's how long it takes for these curls to not look like little Afro Annie, then I've definitely made a mistake. 
My children greeted my with laughter. My oldest daughter said, "You look like Claudia (the youngest.)"
I'll post photos over the next few days to share how well these curls loosen with time. I have my doubts!
You DO look like Claudia. I thought it before I read the blog. It's cute. Why couldn't she use a bigger rod?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why she didn't use bigger rods. I bought a set at Target, so I will try this myself. Hopefully, it won't be as painful!
