Shall I go into the intricacies of doing stuff to my hair? Nawl, ya'll aren't ready for that. Let me just give you a few facts.
One of the main things that dries my hair straight (when I want it to be straight) after I wash it is a Conair 1875 Styler. It comes with one of those volume brush attachments. I don't use it at all. It's just like, boo, I don't look at you, I don't need you unless I want to get my wet black girl hair all matted and knotted up in you. No, ma'am. It also comes with one of those wide-toothed detangling comb attachments. That's what gets the wet hair dry. And then there's the fine-toothed comb attachment. The smoother and finisher of my hair faith. It's what transforms the dry(ish) sponge/poof into sleek(ish). Yezzir. And this is where we have problems.
My attachment comb's fine-teeth keep getting knocked out. It has constant fights with thickness and the thickness often wins. A couple of missing teeth here or there doesn't stop the sleeking action. But then my comb got bucktoothed. Unacceptably so. So, the search began.
Sally's Beauty Supply was like nawl. I bought some non-Conair attachment combs out of desperation, praying in the name of Jaysus that they would miraculously fit. Like I said, the answer was nawl. But I refused to buy a new blowdryer just because of a bucktoothed fine-toothed comb. So, I struck out into the magical world of the Internet.
I was getting desperate. I even hit up Amazon. When I went to the Conair site proper, its attachment accessories didn't include a fine-toothed comb for my blowdryer model. But I did find an important number. Conair customer service, son! By golly, I was going to get my fine-toothed comb attachment.
Dial 1-800-WAIT-FOR-EVER. I was going to listen to that loop of canned samba music interspersed with "All of our customer service representatives are busy. Your call is very important to us, so please stay on the line and your call will be answered in the order it was received" until the cows came home. I was going to go the distance. I finally struck gold. A saccharine sweet voice picked up, cheerily asked the right questions, and in the end, I paid $3.50 (S&H included) for the prize: a single fine-toothed comb attachment for a Conair 1875 Styler.
When I saw that little box sitting outside my apartment door days later, one thought scrolled through my mind: Somebody's hurr is 'bout to get did.

Lol! You should try wrapping your hair, wet or dry, and you will get the smoothest smooth ever. If you wash it at night, wrap it, when you wake in the morning you'll be like, whaaaat.

I know, Kdogg, I know.
But my (w)rapping skills are null. I haven't done a good job in the past and it didn't come out great a-tall.
And wrapping my hair wet would come with a price. A high, high price. A price of waking up the next morning with non-dry hurr. Because it's a sponge. And then I'd end up having to get that fine-toothed comb out anyway. (sigh.)
