First DIY Jumbo Twist Experience

Do you see those nails?

YouTube is like HGTV. They make it look so easy and pretty. Then you get grand ideas about painting your house. And it’s never as easy as it looked on HGTV.

​Insert YouTube and protective styling. 
Me: That’s pretty: it would be nice to have a break from combing my hair. Ooh, this hair is on sale. I bet I can do this myself. FAMOUS LAST WORDS.

​It was a nightmare. I couldn’t make the hair stay on. The kids were getting caught in loose strands of hair. The husband refused to offer a hand.

Me: Just hold this part right here.
Him: Sorry, can’t help ya. Just go get your hair done. 
Me: I can do this. I just need a hand.
Him: crickets

What should have been a two hour project turned into a day long event. By the end of the night, the three year old was complaining about the trail of hair down the hallway, puddled into clumps on the bathroom floor.
Ace: Mommy your hair is everywhere. You need to clean up this mess so we can go to bed. TRUE, oh so true.

​Anyway, I got through it. And got the wrap and go high bun that I wanted. By the end, I figured out how to coordinate twists that didn’t unravel. All is well in the world again. But let’s not talk about what’s going on under the head wrap.

​Mission accomplished.
