"I did it, Mommy! I made your gray hair into a stripe from the left side of your head straight across to the right side of your head!!"
I guess it's true that no beauty treatments are ever truly free.

I have gray hairs too. Natalie calls them white.

Oh yes. I know this well. My kids like it when my hair gets "sparkly."
OMG! Here's how to change a relaxing experience into a stressful one ;-)
How did she do that? LOL! If my kids did that to me I'd probably look like a zebra. :-)
Ah kids...she's just too funny :)
You should have taken a picture with the stripe and posted that!
