Hair-Dos

Ever notice how all the hair products these days are going natural? I thought, "I can do that." Here are my results:

I washed my hair in okra, and that was one slick hairdo.

I washed my hair in corn, and it was so starchy that it stood straight above my ears.

I washed my hair in carrots, and now I can see better.

I washed my hair with the beautiful lavender flower of the thistle and now it's all prickly.

I washed my hair in jalapenos and it was one hot style.
