It’s Holly

I spent this weekend at the Black Business Expo in LA, with my compadres from Planet O2. And you know, it just wouldn’t be a Black Business Expo without Lawry’s showing up.

The booth right next to the O2 booth was selling flat irons. They used me as a hair model to show how it works, and I was convinced. I could go from completely wet hair to super straight in 30 minutes. Straightening my hair is usually a 2 hour event. So I bought one. I got home last night, washed my hair and started up the flat iron. Anytime I use any flat iron, I always have to turn it to the highest setting, so I did. This one is about 410 degrees. As usual, I parted my hair 4 ways and started from the back. I went through once with the flat iron, ran my fingers through my hair, and saw how straight it was…. in my hand. All of that hair, in my hand, and NO LONGER attached to my head.

Holy shit.

The flat iron was so hot, it actually MELTED and BURNED my hair off. Yes. Melted and burned. So now, I have a nice little chunk of hair gone. But it worked! I guess if 410 degrees is hot enough to fry chicken, it’s probably a little too hot to straighten my hair. So, I turned off the flat iron, let it cool down, and set it to the lowest setting possible, and all was well.

Came out good, huh? Other than my apartment never ridding of the smell of burnt hair, I’m super happy with the product. Big ups to Joseph, Alia and Alissa for hookin’ a sista up with the flat iron. But you lose cool points for not telling me about the melting hair part. But still, good lookin’ out. Big ups to Jason and Tim for visiting. And big ups to Donnie for the chicken wing and the $2 can of Sierra Mist!
