I’ll just get to the point. Curling your hair with a curling iron to get those ‘perfect curls’ is not fashionable anymore. If you look like you’re about to go to PrOm, circa 2005, then you need to dowse your head with water and start all over again.
Have you heard of loose curls, perhaps? Or maybe you can try using a curling iron without a clasp (i.e., how Taylor Swift does her hair). I really cannot bare to look at your album entitled ‘Debbie and Bob’s Wedding’ where all of the bridesmaids have perfect curls that look fake, cheap, and tacky. This issue can easily be resolved by never, ever stepping into a ‘Supercuts’ (or some other horrendous chain hair establishment).
In conclusion, stop making your hair look ugly.
