When Hot Rollers Go Crazy (Having a Laugh at My Expense)

So I bought some hot rollers (on clearance) to see if curling my hair would make me happier with it. I love my hair shorter with crazy platinum highlights, but with all the gray hair I now produce it requires both coloring it to hide the gray and then the highlights. It's very expensive, and at this point in our lives, frivolous. So I color it at home. Plain brown. Blah Blah Blah.

Here's the hot rollers's result. Sorry. It's scary. It was WORSE before I brushed it. No joke! You can't see that it poofed out about 6-8 inches in the back. Needless to say, that got wet down and redried. Can you tell I thought it was funny? Maggie said "Mommy, your hair is CRAZY!" Then we both giggled ourselves silly.

Maybe I will have to pay for some salon love, those rollers were terrible!
