A certain little boy wanted straight hair for Valentine's day. We tried. We slicked it back and put 15 metric tonnes of gel on it. We combed and slicked and combed some more and added a little more gel just to try to keep it straight. It almost worked.
People, I said almost. This picture was at 1:30, so roughly six hours after we finished trying to get the hair to slick down. By the time he made it home from school, it was back to afro puff. He loves his curly hair, and so do I. He looks adorable with his curls....even when he wants it straight.
