More of a Motherly Skill

Over break when I was home I got to work on a lot of projects. This particular one I would refer to more as a motherly project than a wifey skill since most wives won't need to curl hair ;)
My sister was in Beauty and the Beast. We had to curl her hair in tight curls (just not loose ones) and then put it in a half pony. We started by trying to use a straightener and my neighbors iron that didn't have a clamp. Thankfully that was just rehearsal because it didn't turn out to well :) The next day we acquired another curling iron so both my mom and I could work on it at the same time. We sprayed each piece before curling it. It took two days to realize we should curl the bottom first and work our way up. After the whole head was curled we put the half pony in. This was the hardest part because the hairspray made it difficult and painful to comb the top back. The last day we tried to only curl until the half pony and then curl the ends from there. It did not look wonderful but she was wearing a hairpiece over that part anyway. In the end you just spray the crap out of it so it all stays in place. If I had to do it again I would curl the whole head but not use hairspray on the top before I put it in the half pony.
