Texas Cheerleader Hair

I bought some new curlers this weekend. They're little foam pillows with the teensiest bit of wire to allow for bending. They are very comfortable for sleeping in, so last night I set my ruler-straight locks into tight twists, which I then rolled up in the curlers. I was hoping for some sexy waves.

I ended up with Texas Cheerleader Hair. You know...POOF! That kind of style.

I have never been a fan of big hair, preferring a more subtle look on my round face, so I tried smoothing it down. No dice. My hair, which normally doesn't hold a curl for more than five minutes, was not letting go of its pom-pom dreams. So I pulled it in a ponytail and hoped for the best.

It stayed poofy until I got on the treadmill and started sweating.
