## The story

The Ripplemaker took forty minutes, a bathroom outlet, and the patience of a lighthouse keeper to crimp a full head of hair. The result was worth it: hair three times wider and textured like ramen noodles. The whole house smelled faintly toasty for hours, and little brothers swore they could hear it hissing.

## Fun fact

Ripplemaker instructions warned against crimping eyebrows, which tells you everything about who had tried it.
