I just returned from a particularly disturbing trip to the bathroom, where I was instantly disheartened with one glimpse of my poufy, frizzy hair. “Okay,” I moaned to my coworker. “My hair really does need to be addressed.”

“You know, they make frizz control products,” he replied.

“But they make my hair flat!”

A disdainful look followed. “That would be the idea.”
