S is for Straightening.

Call it boredom. Or curiosity. But tonight I attempted to straighten Leila's hair..... with just a hair straightener.

And lots of smoothing serum--which ended up being counter productive because anything wet-ish made her curls come back.

But it was fun (for me) and Leila did awesome and was patient.

I couldn't resist messing it up a bit to show the length and give her a crazy black Nick Nolte mug shot.

In the end, I couldn't handle the uneven nature of her hair---she SO needs a proper hair cut--so we opted for the ponytail and clips.

My little princess. We'll see how it looks in the morning! :)
