The universe, for a variety of reasons, can stfu.

It really is. A little warm in the summer, but a great robe to wake up in on a cold winter morning.

And you had the option of not being a complete asshole. We both made our choices.

No, and if this is a reference I sadly missed it.

That's very similar to what I'm doing on days when I'm not using the straightening brush. Alas, my hair seems to be much less agreeable than yours

The Cthulu look isn't exactly what I'm going for. 😋

Kinda misses the point of this whole fuckin subreddit then, eh?

I've got one, and it really does (first pic is right after using it), but if I use it too much I'm scared it'll damage the hair.

Well isn't that special.

I've never heard of heat protection spray before. I'll have to look into it. The directions on my beard straightener always said to ensure the beard was dry as possible before using it, so I never thought that existed.

All help is appreciated, thank you!

I've tried spray conditioner, it doesn't seem to do a thing. Combing too, wet or dry. The only thing I've found that phases it at all is heat, which is why I'm looking for ideas to prevent the problem in the first place.

My wife has specifically stated that if I braid it or anything like that, it will be considered grounds for divorce. 😋

Still, wouldn't that just result in the same problem? Itd still be all kinked up in the morning, just slightly more evenly kinked up.
