    Day 638292 of trying to do the SLICKEST slick back to ever slick✨🤪

Transcript

You really have to stop meeting like this. Raise your hand if your hair gets dirty the day you wash it. I wasn't gonna do a slick bad, but then I went to the gym, actually worked out, and now my hair feels wet. It's everybody's favorite day. It's time to slick this mother freaking hair, bro. This is how close I am holding on. I'm wearing this like high neck and I can't tell if it looks good on me no we have to obviously slick it back. No to do this, unfortunately, if I want to be skinty for summer, I have to, go to the gym, which means my hair gets dirty. Use some hair growth serum. This is the Vegamore hair serum. Sydney Schafer. I hope I'm saying her name right. She uses this all the time. Better me influence. Consider me a huge fan girl. Why is this so high up? Like, hi. Why don't I look like a midget now? What's going on? This shirt is tripping me out. I'm gonna use some of this Redken all in one benefit treatment to, like, feel like I'm not gonna be balding. I feel like I look like a little wrestler or something. Worse. Because I've heard a lot of people tell me that I need a moose.
