Hairball
by Lindsay Price Canadian Author
It's time to reveal your secret: You're obsessed with your hair. And why shouldn't you be?
Good hair makes your day. Bad hair gets you dumped.
Good hair gets you to the prom. Bad hair makes you look like an eggplant.
Good hair means you're popular. Bad hair means hat head for the rest of your life.
It's enough to make you want to tear your hair out! But you know what's better than obsessing about your hair? Watching OTHER people obsess about their hair! Now those people are crazy...
