If you check your call log and find that your family has called you four times in as many minutes, isn't that going to make you think something's up? And "Well, you weren't answering!" isn't much of an reason? Yeah, I'm not answering, and you're not leaving messages. Being unable to get to the phone isn't world-ending (is it, Polgara?) I've told them to not do that anymore. One and done, please leave message, unless something is wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've never known what to do with my hair. If I brush it, it frizzes. If I comb it, it frizzes. If I touch it, it frizzes. If I move while it's drying, it frizzes. There's no way I'm gonna spend an hour in the morning blowdrying and straightening my hair. Anyway, I don't really want it to be straight; I like my curls, I just wish they weren't so hard to please.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't know if it will help you, zenkitty, but when I went to the curly hair place, she said to just bunch up paper towels and blot the water out. When i do this, it frizzes way less. You can also use an old t-shirt. Something about the nap of towels brings on the frizz.

Really? Hm. Paper towels are cheap, and I have plenty of old t-shirts. I'm gonna try that! Thanks, Allyson.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The best products I've found for getting my hair to be curly but not frizzy are the kids' products from Mixed Chicks.

I'm initially suspicious of advice like this, but the old t-shirt or paper towel thing didn't require me to buy anything new, and she blotted it with paper towels at the salon. Damn it, it does help.

Zenkitty,
I have been using some Lush products on my hair that might work for you. There is a crème for the hair post-shampoo that really does a nice job with curl definition.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
brush hair - then shower scrunch dry and ignore .
I used to walk in anywhere and get my hair cut. I didn't really know how bad my haircuts were. because I got the triangle head thing.
but I'll buy the white privileged idea of hair, partly because it never occurred t me that hair could be substantially different
