ouch [SEP] i decided to buy this to try to make my already curly hair more uniform in appearance my hair is very long and it spirals to begin with silly me thought i could make it all the spirals look exactly the samei started out with perfectly washed and combed hair took me a few minutes to figure out that you can add extensions to the evil wand i was trying to shove just the end portion through a cork screw curler did not work that greatmy one daughter also with curly hair was intrigued and asked what i was doing i told her i was trying to be prettyfirst chunk of hair ok wow that was painful i tried not to let her see the tears in my eyes chunk ouch chunk i was about ready to full blown cry i told myself to be brave there was no turning back chuck after chunk i literally felt my scalp screaming in agony my daughter begged me to stop but i continued to recite mommy will be so prettyi finished and noticed my face was bright red from holding my breath i tried to relax and do homeschool with my kids but they kept cracking up laughing at me the entire time i can feel throbbing in my scalp like a high school band practicei could not take it anymore they needed to come out wait you pull them i slowly tried one by one and had to start holding onto my roots for fear i would look like a middle aged bald man when my husband comes home from work they were holding onto those curves for dear life yep so kudos to you if you have hair of steal that can survive these curlers i feel so jaded for thinking this was a clever concept
