I feel like it's so easy now that there are all these tutorials for it. I always wanted straight hair when I was growing up because I didn't know how to deal with the frizziness. I felt like I looked liked Mia before her transformation in Princess Diaries.
Oh yeah, I can't imagine having curly hair. I never had long hair as a child either so I don't know what I am doing at all with my daughters hair. I have watched a ton of youtube videos and we have tried SO many products. But I usually just stick with conditioning treatments and leave in oil. Olive oil spray works really well on her hair too.

 
If I'm the one taking the photos, I'll take a few and help her out to get it right but the school ones are one shot and she just does not have the photo smile down. She always looks

I'll use em to keep that teen ego in check in a few years

LoL Me and my mom fought my hair!!! She's a hair stylist and she knew how much I hated my hair growing up (it was different, it looked like a hot mess all the time, I had a crown of frizz no matter what I did, etc) and she tried to do hair straightening perms for me... which worked to a certain extent. I decided to embrace it five years ago and cut off all of my straightened hair. 

Leave in conditioners are my best friend. lol

You could also try hair lotions, something that won't make hair crunchy but still try to hold curls together. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

We just tried DevaCurl products the other day and I am trying to wait for it to go on sale so that I can buy the full lineup for her hair. I couldn't believe the miracle it created on her head.

Am I wrong to love the awkwardness? I'm going to have an awesome timeline of horrible photos and I think it's awesome

That is the cutest thing I've ever seen!

 
Thanks. She's so adorable I can't stand it sometimes. She's this perfect mash up of me and my husband.

 
I really can't say anything I require a dozen retakes too. If I smile full on my eyes disappear so much so that when we were in ABQ I wasn't allowed to smile at all in my license picture due to their facial recognition program. So I have to have this weird Mona Lisa thing going in most of my pictures unless I want to look like a 5yo. Oh and Mona is a hard look to nail without looking pissed or upset.

Devacurl is my HG in hair products. I buy my conditioner off of amazon for around 12.00. I couldn't be happier with my hair since I started using it.

I didn't realize you could buy it for so little. Stocking stuffers for my daughter maybe. She loves new bath time products.

 
Holy Hell! I just ran out for a few groceries I forgot and the parking lot was maxed out! I don't need stuffing that much really. I have enough food considering its just me and Z.

You are free to do as you wish! I like my things drawn out over time (hence the 25 presents for 25 days), but I also know & understand that most people like to dig right in. I'm leaving it up to you! Just promise me you will read the little notes that go with each one. They should make you smile. There are rhyme riddles on the front of each & handwritten messages on the back of some of them! Enjoy! Merry Christmas!

Aww, your gifts sound so thought out and special with the handwritten messages!  I'm excited to see everything in the reveal thread. 

 
Whew!  All caught up!  Chiming in with my 2 cents.

Favorite Disney Charater: Winnie the Pooh.  He is Disney right?  Have been obsessed with him for ever

Food Allergies: none, although I am not a fan of nuts

Cooke butter Deliciousness. Don' judge.  Is it bad I wanted to buy the crunchy one so my collection was "complete?"
