EXACTLY! See Britt we here *doing the finger thing* I've had all lenghts of hair and I've been trying since I was an itty bitty girl because as Tracy can tell you, all Latinas are born with a set of rollers in their hands. Unfortunately I think some gangsta baby jacked me for mine in the hospital nursery.
*sighs* *turns on her flat iron* Better get to straightening...
Hate to say it too but only practise makes perfect.
I think it must have taken me a good year to 'graduate' to pins and rollars all over. First I was trying to work out how to hold a rollar and roll it down a sectioned part of hair AND put the snap on cover. Took forever mastering that all over the head. And even then the results after was so blah I was like 'why did I bother?'
The pins was another story after that which took another few months.
Slowly slowly. It does happen but takes months of practice (at least for me).
