This last weekend, I attended the America’s Beauty Show in Chicago, one of the largest hair shows in the world.

As I was perusing the wide variety of booths with every conceivable type of hair product, I was pulled into a booth by a man who promised to change my life.

“I can fix your hair, honey,” he said, referring to my head full of 3b curls.

“Fix my hair?” I asked, horrified.

His answer to all my problems was his new Brazilian Keratin Treatment that would take every kink and curl out of my hair. I looked at him and told him he could change somebody else’s life. But I was quite happy with my curls, thank you very much! Then I turned around to show him the message on the back of my hot pink hoodie.

“Curl Power!”
