I had a hairdresser appointment yesterday afternoon. On Thursdays I get away from work early (it was originally to get Ishbel to soccer training during the winter), pick up Ishbel at the bus stop and we also have Ruby for the evening. I had to take the girls with me to the hairdresser until Ian got home from work.
The girls behaved very well, playing with a book that contained puzzles. The salon wasn't very busy and the apprentice, Mary, and a Winmalee High School student on work placement were washing the hair of a dummy and the girls were watching with fascination. Then Mary started to put curls in Ruby and Ishbel's hair. My hairdresser, Laura, also did a fancy french pleat in Ruby's hair.
Unfortunately, Robbie is away with the camera so we were unable to take photos but the girls were absolutely stoked with their 'dos'. Ishbel brushed her hair as lightly as possible this morning in the hope of preserving as many curls as possible. I saw her 'plumping' her hair up as she walked in to school this morning.
It all reminded me of the time we had school photos taken at Camberley Infants. Mum put my hair in curls. Dedicated tom-boy as I was, I was not impressed and was teased at school. I think Ishbel's the daughter you should have had, Mum, she would have really appreciated those curls!!!
I don't ever remember seeing that photo though, have you got it?

I can't remember ever doing that. You had naturally wavy hair so can't see the point and certainly can't remember a photograph. I will look when I get home.
I did, however, try to get you to use stayblonde shampoo as you had the most beautiful blonde hair as a child. You would have none of that though.

Maybe it was just a nightmare that I have committed to memory then!
