Things I Do Because the Internet Tells Me To
Ok y’all. Last night I was procrastinating on a homework assignment and because I finished all the internet tv shows already, I was looking around on Pinterest. I was becoming more and more insecure because I’m not cleaning, or gardening, or cooking, or styling my hair into intricate braids, or putting awesome make-up on my face, or wearing badass clothes in various neutral shades. I’m not doing any of the things Pinterest is telling me to do! And then I came across a Pin that said something like
"Fix your hair in less time than it takes to cook breakfast!"
"Wow thats amazing, I don’t cook breakfast so this should take no time at all!!"
My mood was improving by the minute. To be clear, this is the Pin I was looking at
http://longhairstyleshowto.com/natural-soft-shining-hair/
So I found two eggs in my refrigerator that had expired on April 3rd and I thought
"These are probably still good enough to coat my hair, it’s just hair!"
The Pin says to combine two egg yolks with two tablespoons of olive oil and a cup of water, leave it in your hair for fifteen to twenty minutes, then rinse it out. THATS ALL THE PIN SAYS TO DO. So thats all I did.
So there I am at midnight hunched over my bathtub with my head soaking in a bowl of this (expired) egg yolk mixture for twenty minutes. By the way, there was definitely an eggy smell. TURNS OUT, theres more to the Pin than meets the eye. First off, you have to rinse out the hair with COLD water or else the egg will start to literally cook in your hair…awesome. ALSO, rinsing it out with just water isn’t enough, you have to shampoo and condition to get it all out.Â
Well I didn’t know any of these things and have consequently spent all day today with oily, egg smelling hair that miraculously feels like buttah (butter) in a good way. So I am off now to shower and wash away my internet shame. I hope all is well with you guys. Don’t trust the internet and don’t trust people…people make the internet.Â
