Ep 2: The Mystery of Frizzy Hair & the Art of Imprisoning Butterflies
What girls with long hair think about all day long. Frizzy hair is just one of our many troubles, but what if someone else points it out to us? In this episode, Dr. Teo Wan Lin schools you in the art of the riposte.
Hi guys, welcome back to the second episode of Girls With Long Hair.
Like all long haired girls who only get clever with time, we should be clever enough to reflect on what happened to our hair in order to find divine answers to frizzy hair problems. So today, we shall be having a quiet episode where we will reflect on ourselves.
Sorry, I can’t keep quiet. I am a chatterbox and having long hair also means that I am unfairly labelled vain and maybe, hair-brained. But anyway, us long haired girls are used to hiding our hair-intelligence behind our luscious locks. Afterall, not everyone gets to hear our secrets. Only our best friends. On a serious note, here are my lessons from the first episode, which if you haven’t listened to, you must check out.
How To Tame Frizzy Hair
Lesson #1 Frizzy hair solutions are disproportionately important to girls with long hair
How many combs and brushes do you have? I may be obsessed with hair accessories but I hate combing or brushing my hair. But simply because tangles are an irreversible nightmare, I do comb my hair everyday.

The best hair conditioners for frizzy hair may help to smoothen the cuticle and repair hair damage. However, it is important to also use the correct brush to help neutralise environmental static, caused by high humidity. The Hair Relaxing Comb uses waveform technology to treat the hair cuticle, instantly relaxing hair and also eliminating all frizz.
Life’s greatest mystery: dreadlocks that appear out of nowhere
Do you get these dreadlocks especially for hair over the nape of your neck? For no reason at all? This to me, is one of life’s greatest mysteries waiting to be solved, by only the best detectives. Taking the form of long haired girls all over the world banding together in unified sisterhood.
I don’t get it. I always comb my hair before tying it up in a ponytail. However, somehow, by the end of the day, the hair that is nearest the nape of my neck, always gets tangled up in one hot mess. I have since resorted to braiding it but to my horror, hair still finds a way to get dreadlocked by the end of the day. By the way, I also braid my hair when I sleep in my Cocoon, oops, I meant Silk Hair Cap.

Lesson #2 For girls with long hair, frizzy hair solutions like hair treatments or hair conditioners are answers to life’s greatest tragedies
My personal passion has always been hacking the best salon hair treatments at home. I mean, who has the time to spend 2 hours at a salon when you can spend 10 hours at home? It’s all about priorities. Over 2 decades I have tried almost every hair conditioner or treatment mask available in drugstores, salons, hair- end, I mean high end beauty retailers. I must remind you, that as a girl with long hair who has all these credentials, I am extremely well qualified to give advice on hair conditioners. In fact, one of my must-do’s whenever I travelled to a new country was to check out their drugstore, sometimes for skincare(boring) but always for hair conditioners, ampoules and.. best of all, hair accessories.

Ever since I was 10, those rainbow colored goodie hair elastics in deluxe bonus packs were to me what candies are to you kids. Ooh, when I was 9. I think I remember now why I started keeping a ponytail.
Childhood Memories
My best friend then was Stephanie, who is still my friend by the way, since us long haired girls don’t have that many real long haired friends, you know what I mean. Stephanie had just transferred in from another school and she had long hair worn in a ponytail and was so pretty! I knew she had to become my best friend so I could… haha steal her hair secrets. She always wore scrunchies and colored leggings and so I decided I should do that too. Except, I bought the same leggings as she did and I looked ridiculous. Well at least, we could wear matching scrunchies while we wagged our ponytails in unison catching butterflies in her condominium compound.

The Art of Capturing Butterflies
Catching butterflies, for what? I was very obsessive with capturing butterflies when I was 10. Yup, we were nasty little long haired girls with a penchant for making prisoners out of beautiful fluttering free souls who were prettier than us. We had a big white net attached to a handle which we purchased from Toys R Us, specifically engineered for high precision swooping over unsuspecting butterflies. Except, most of the time, all we caught were tiny dreary brown moths. We did see colourful beautiful butterflies, sometimes, but they always got away. There were the standard plain yellow ones which at first were mundane compared to the true multi colored butterflies, but later became at least a more realistic target – which, by the way, we never reached. I’m not sure if we clocked 10,000 hours swooping butterflies, but I am pretty sure we gave up eventually.
Frizzy Hair Conditioners
By the way, it is now time for some ads. Get your frizzy hair solutions at Dr.TWL Pharmacy. Girls with long hair often struggle with keeping their hair neat and groomed. Dr.TWL Pharmacy carries a range of hair brushes and tools that we design to tackle frizz without chemical treatments or even styling products. My favorite brush is of course the Dr.TWL Silk Brush named after you know who. The brush tackles the underlying cause of frizz by infusing proteins that mimic the natural keratin coating of hair. Most importantly, it regulates the hair cuticle microenvironment with patented fibres. These neutralise all the environmental static that causes hair to misbehave. I know us girls with long hair always need proof for such grand claims, so I have included video evidence in my upcoming podcast website hair.beautylibrary.org which you can refer to. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you when it’s up.

What To Do When Others Comment On Your Frizzy Hair
On a more serious note, part of the goal of this podcast is for me impart words of wisdom so girls with long hair can appear cleverer to the unenlightened. The next time your date accuses you, how dare he, of frizzy or less than perfect hair. You can patronise him this way. Frizzy hair can actually be attributed to genetics, did you know that there is a condition known as uncombable hair syndrome? It’s also known as spun-glass hair or if he’s French, cheveux incoiffables. Sorry, that sounded like someone spat. Haha. If he remains unimpressed, let him know that it is autosomal recessive most of the time. So if you both have kids together, unless he also has the uncombable hair gene, it is highly unlikely that your kids will have it.
By the way because you are not done patronising him yet, you end your date with this.. But sometimes, maybe not so rarely because the current scientific literature has documented cases of autosomal dominant inheritance of the gene, so that means that even if he doesn’t have the gene, all your children will have uncombable, frizzy hair. That, to me though, isn’t the perfect way to end a date. What you do now is critical, it will cause him to become the pathetic, helpless man begging to crawl his way back to you, which by the way he never was, when he commented on your hair.
