Things To Never Buy A Curly Girl

We've all walked on the wild side, trying out combs and hair tools our friends, cousins or moms used--they have pin-straight hair- so we thought "why not?". The results of our ex-HAIR-imentation? Rubber bands, hair clips ripped or cut out, along with clumps of our juicy coils. How many curly girls can walk through a drugstore without having flashbacks? If you love a Curly Girl, never try or buy these at home.

We've busted about 200-ish of these, mid top-knot, alone. Pretty sure before the metal-free versions, these were responsible for ripping out about 75% of curly hair around the globe.

This thing.

While we know this product isn't intended for us, watching the hair being spun into the "curl vacuum" on the infomercial, makes us wonder in disbelief..."how does the hair NOT get tangled in there??"

Oh HELL no.

Can you hear the collective screams? I know, we all dreamed about how cute the "flexi hair comb" was going to make our spirals spray-up from the top of a high pony, only we ended up having to cut it out of our hair with kitchen scissors.
