I give you permission to laugh.

It’s okay, really. You can.

The Pinterest Battle this week was simple. Braid sections of hair. Run a flat iron over the braids. And voila! Pretty waves.

I wouldn’t call these pretty waves so much as a crimp gone horribly wrong.

Needless to say, I wore my hair up in a ponytail.

You might be wondering….how did my good friend Becky Wade fare in this particular battle?

Answer: Better than me.

Guess who else joined the fun? Becky’s mom (don’t they look alike?) and her daughter! Becky and I decided that her 12-year old totally pulls it off. Those are what I call pretty waves.

Four challenges in to our eight-week Pinterest War and I have a feeling I’m digging myself into a hole.

Let’s Talk: What’s your solution for a bad hair day?

It’s time for Becky to throw down a challenge and so she has.

Supposedly, all you need is a flat iron, some hair ties, and the ability to braid.

The directions?

Separate your hair into sections, braid, run a flat iron over each section, (hairspray and repeat if you so desire), unbraid, and….

Voila – pretty waves!

We’ll post our results on Friday. Should be interesting!

Feel free to join in the fun! Who knows? Maybe we’ll find a new favorite hairstyle.

If you haven’t already seen our previous three Pinterest battles, you can find them on Becky’s Pinterest War board or mine.
