Hope's hair was my project these past 2 days. It probably took a total of 1 1/2 hours. Last night I got half of it done and finally called it quits at 9:30pm. Hope was tired and my fingers were starting to cramp. Then I finished it this afternoon after she woke up from her nap.
Yesterday I went to a beauty supply store just around the corner from our house. Someone from Daryl's work recommended it. When I pulled up I almost didn't go in because I knew I'd be totally out of place once I got inside. But, I swallowed by nervousness and went in. The first awesome surprise was that they carry the shampoo/conditioner that we use for Hope! I've always had to order it online and pay for shipping and handling. So excited that I won't have to do that anymore. I was wandering my way around the store trying to find some combs when a girl that worked there came up to me and asked if I needed help. I think I looked a little lost (never mind that I stuck out like a sore thumb - a blonde head in the midst of all the dark heads of the other shoppers!)! She turned out to be a huge help and was very open and willing to teach me more about Hope's hair and the right combs and products to keep her hair healthy and looking good! By the time I left I felt very encouraged and pleased that I had gotten over myself and my fears and actually went into the store. I came home from the store excited to try out my new purchases on Hope's hair! Poor Hope . . . she wasn't quite as excited as I was. She hates having her hair done but she loves it when it is done. And I love it too! So much easier to care for. I learned how to do these twists by watching a video on YouTube. It took a couple of practices twists before getting the hang of it. Thanks for sticking with me, Hope! (Like she had a choice!) We were both happy with the way that it turned out. And I'm really really hoping that it will last a couple of weeks. :)
