This way or that way?


Hmmm...  I was brushing The Little Man's hair for school this morning. We didn't have a lot of time. We need time when we brush The Little Man's hair because: when we brush it, it becomes a haze of golden fluff which extends approx 15cm from his head on all sides. This is undoubtedly beautiful to me, his mother, however it can cause problems for The Little Man when he arrives at school.

So... to avoid this problem today because yesterday he slipped in a puddle and all his 'friends'? laughed at him, I decided that I would not brush it all and then wet it all an then dry it all (hence the need for time). I would instead, brush each individual curl (!@%#^%!!!) and try and regain some order that way.

You should try it some day.

Anyway as I was individually brushing these curls I made a discovery! All his curls curl the same way... anti-clockwise. Again and again and again I tried to curl them the other way, but no, they just wouldn't play. Then on the way home in the car,  I began wondering if everyone who has curls only has them curling ONE way. I started checking mine out... so far, mine ONLY curl clockwise. I still have one section of my head to go, but I think I'm good in saying that I am a clockwise curl girl.

So... here is my challenge to you (you know who you are)... if you own a curl or two, please investigate and get back to me. I'll publish the findings and perhaps once and for all we can get to the bottom of this 'This way or that way' curl mystery.
