Living with Dieuwke and her super impressive lions mane I have given the matter of curly hair quite a bit of thought. I mean there are some definite pros to having curly hair. I mean, she NEVER has a ponytail line- no matter how long she has her hair in a ponytail- me on the other hand, 15 minutes in a ponytail and I have a line until I get it wet again. And if her hair is down and you mess it up and try to give it a "Frankenstein Pat" (thank you Thom) she merely needs to shake it out and you can't even tell again.
Now my hair, my hair is straight. And don't get me wrong- I absolutely LOVE my hair but I also definitely need to put some amount of effort into it each day. Whether it's throwing it up into a ponytail or brushing it out and putting it into some fancier it needs attention everyday and it needs periodic check-ups through out the day. Plus my hair, well it doesn't really get curly. I mean if I have a certain kind of curling iron and someone to help me then I get it curly and it'll even stay that way with a substantial amount of hairspray but not for longer than a day. No my hair is straight and that's ok with me- but a few days ago Dieuwke and I realized that Dieuwke's curly hair could have a two or three day hiatus from being curly. Just to see what it would be like.
You see I have this beautiful straightener (to make my naturally straight hair even straighter you see :-D) and one beautiful Sunday afternoon about a week ago Dieuwke and I realized that we had a few hours to spare (because with Dieuwke's hair you need a couple hours...) and I REALLY wanted to see what her hair would look like. So, we popped in a movie and let the straightening commence!
Before!

(Ok, so re-reading this I see that the first couple of paragraphs are completely unnecessary and pointless, sorry... but I'm still going to leave them there...because I can! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!)

I straightened (did I spell that right?...it looks weird...) Dieuwke's hair once - and it looked stunning but I'll never forget Lance's response when he asked if he liked it (and this isn't verbatim but really close) 'Yeah it looks nice but I really like your hair.' Awww! It was one of the sweetest moments ever.
And I know all about your pony tail line! Two hours spent making it beautifully straight (because I fall sadly between the two - not curly enough to be curly not straight enough to be straight - just a sort of pathetic wave...) pulled up into a super loose bun for two minutes and oh so can totally tell. *grumble* ;)
Funny Bonnie! I straightened Dieuwke's hair last August; and I know she had it straightened for my wedding. So, you've seen it before. I, personally, think she looks HAWT either way; however, I agree that Dieuwke's big curly hair is part of her big curly personality. Plus, I have been trying to embrace my own big curliness lately...so I have to go with it. Hope you guys had fun!!
What a fun post! I really enjoy how you make the simple things in life so enjoyable.
I think Deuwka (sorry about the spelling. I am on my iPhone and it won't let me go back to see how it should be written so I probably butchered it) looks great either way. I do howere LOVE curly hair!!!
