Original caption

I wish I had a scientific explanation… but I don’t. 🤦‍♀️ I grabbed a can of shaving cream as a joke, and somehow my curls have NEVER looked this good. Meanwhile, I’ve spent hundreds on curly hair products. I’m equal parts impressed and offended. 😂 #CurlyHair #CurlyHairHack #ShavingCreamHack #CurlyGirl #CurlRoutine

5Expressing mixed feelings of impressiveness and offense

Product placement

Gillette Foamy Regular Shaving Foam ACTS - it is used to style the creator's hair, resulting in good curls. Removing it would change the outcome of the video. Gillette is a brand of shaving products.
