1st Attempt @ Straightening Trin's Curls...

*I got the idea a few months back of seeing what Trin's hair would look like if I tried to straighten it. She is obviously too young to have anything done at the salon (chemically, that is), but I didn't want to wait until she was 4 or 5 to see her hair straight. So this morning was my first attempt at trying to straighten Trin's super curly hair. It didn't go exactly as I had envisioned in my mind, but I know it will get better with time...

*Trin sat perfectly still the entire time...she was such a good sport!

*Getting ready for the blow dryer...

*One section of straight hair...

*Here comes the flat-iron...

*Her hair definitely takes on a much different texture when it's straight...it's a lot coarser...one of the wonderful parts of being a bi-racial child. ;)

*Below, you can hear Trin singing to herself and being silly in the mirror...trying to pass the time while she was getting her hair done...
