Dear Tangled,
I’ve had that exact
same problem. Short of waiting for it to rot out of your hair, I
think hiding it is the best solution. What I did to hide my curler was
wear an opaque shower cap over my head. You’ll find most small animals
won’t live under plastic…too hot and too hard to breathe! This may also
speed the rotting process. Fortunately for me I no longer have the curler.
My cat, who enjoyed digging under my cap and playing with it, got
his paw adhered to the velcro one day and, bolting away, ripped the curler
from my head. Although hair will no longer grow in that spot, I still
have plenty left to work with. You see ‘big hair’ is merely an illusion.
One trick is to roll your hair with empty paint cans. This makes massive
curls which you can keep stiff with hairspray. The ‘beehive’, a Texas standard
big hairdo, involves ‘ratting’ the hair into a peak, inserting a empty
papertowel tube, and styling around it. Then slowly pull the hair outward
into a bigger look using plenty of hairspray until your hair is as sticky
as cotton candy and you resemble a cross between a Pekingese and Lhasa
Apso.
