The girl uses a hot comb and an iron. And probably a relaxer. Know your black hair products!

When my hair was long, a pick was the only type of comb I could use, because it was the only type that'd get through my hair, although my hair is not even remotely frizzy or even curly; it's just thick. I still have one in my bag, even though my hair is short now.

So Charles, if I were at your office, you could have borrowed one from this red-headed, white-skinned, Irish girl.

It's why my hair isn't as straight as it looks.

Charles' hair always looks like he was dragged out of an african village on his extra nappy head. On many occasions I have asked him to cut or comb it and his stock response is always " I want to look like a crazy person." I have known the man for over 30 yrs and I've never seen him comb his hair. Stop lying about that intraoffice email. It's simply not true.

His true intention in doing so is a mystery.
