Best quote...

I've been reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and all I can say is that it is one of the best books I own! I just finished it yesterday and I found my favorite quote of all time. It really shows how innocent children are and how we should think more like them...
"No, everybody's gotta learn, nobody's born knowin'. That Walter is as smart as he can be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out to help his daddy. Nothin's wrong with him. Naw, Jem, I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."
" that's what I thought, too," he said at last, "when I was your age. If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time...it's because he wants to stay inside."
(pg. 227)

READ IT! you will certainly look at others differently.

Roller Sets :) Grandma STYLE!!!!!!

Wednesday we started to learn roller sets. Kind of like curlers and perms combined if that makes sense. you wrap the hair in a setting lotion while wet, but there is no processing. you just let it air dry or you can sit under a hair dryer. the hair hardens after it drys and you brush it out and style it :) haha it reminds me of grandma's hair after it's styled :)

The Rollers:

After it dried, and took out the Rollers:

 After the comb out:

 

And the complete style :) Grandma style :) or the real name is Italian Bang...

 

and the final result is (drumroll please).....

TUH-DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is the final product!!!!
It took a lot of work, hurt fingers, and NASTY "camel snot" in Jessica's description (which I TOTALLY agree with) all over my hands :( eww.

Let me know what you think :)

Fingerwaves and Pincurls....

We are now learning how to do finger waves which look like this...

On the top. They are super pretty and look really cool, but SO hard!!! They hurt my hands!

Pin curls look like this...

Another really pretty thing, not as hard as the finger waves in my opinion.
for our final we have to do a full head of finger waves and the bottom in pin curls this is what it looks like...

I left them in cause I wanted to see what the finished product looks like...more pictures to come when I take it out tomorrow....

here is what the finished products should look like....

For long hair...

Short hair....

Pin curls.....
