Bed Head Control Freak Hair Straightener
I have curly hair, specifically, I have frizzy curly hair. A little bit of this stuff, and I can use my curling iron to get smooth, straight hair like all the cool girls. Just a little though, too much and your hair is a gunky, sticky mess. Of course, that means it lasts longer. Score.
