PeaceBang sometimes wishes she went to Montessori schools where she would have had early training in motor skills by putting beans into cups with tweezers or threading pasta onto string. Had she had that advantage early in life, she might today be able to style her own hair, which is fine and slippery and given to snarl if she looks at it wrong.
When YouTube ladies describe hairstyles as “super easy” and “Like, soooo easy it will just take a sec!” PeaceBang looks at them the way Hillary Clinton looked at Donald Trump during last night’s debate: bemused and with barely disguised pity. How little they know, and they’re other treatments using the best equipment like the best hair straighteners which are useful for this.
How little he knows.
But I digress!!
Here is a video of a time I styled my hair. It worked very well and did not take long, and if I can do it, anyone with opposable thumbs has a good chance of being able to do it. As you can see from the photo taken after church, the boopsie curls calmed down (or “went limp,” depending on how you look at it) so that I did not look too much like I was leading worship services on the deck of the Good Ship Lollipop.
Here’s my favorite tutorial on this style. It’s my fave because the cute girl refers to it as the “Friar Tuck” method, and how can I resist THAT?
I did not sleep on mine. I started with dry hair, spritzed it with a little bit of spray gel and water, twisted it into the headband, let it sit for a couple of hours, and pulled it out. I then sprayed it unto to the gods.
