A while ago, "my mommy told me about" (she said I needed to insert that right there) a way to curl my hair without heat, or those uncomfortable curlers. Sounds genius, right?

But alas, mom wanted to experiment to see if she could salvage my frizzed-out features, a process which took longer then either of us expected. I don't know how it looks now, but one thing's for sure- I am NOT going to face the public today.
