7:53 pmStraight!
Every woman (or little girl) who is blessed enough to have gorgeous, naturally curly hair will always– always — want straight hair. I had beautiful curly hair my whole life… until babies, and all of the body-changing hormones that accompany babies. Post babies, my hair went pretty dang straight. But as a young girl and a teenager I always wished for beautiful, straight hair. The grass is always greener, right?
So this morning Zoe woke up extra early for church, coming into my room and telling me that she woke up plenty early for a straight hair day. (A straight hair day requires a washing, conditioning, a proper “blow-out”, and way more hair product than I really like to put in my 5 year old’s hair. But she really wanted it, and she did wake up plenty early.)
The results were nice:
She walked around all day swishing and primping. She asked everyone she saw, “What do you think of my hair?”
She even came to me and showed me a picture of her inspiration: Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping Beauty really has some sweet, straight hair. (And a pink dress.) The likeness is striking:
Yeah, they’re practically twins.

Oh, I love her curly hair! I’ve always had straight hair. I permed it all though high school. Oh, how I wanted the curly hair.
She’s adorable either way.

Sounds like you do, but I encourage you to encourage her to love her natural texture. We have to start when kids are young, teaching them to love their natural beauty, not feel like they have to change to be attractive or accepted. You might check out http://www.curlykids.com
