Straight hair

Lily, from Hong Kong wants curls. She asks Alicia who runs a hairdressing business from her university dorm room.

...

Lily: I always wanted curls like yours.

Alicia: Easy with a crimping iron.

Lily: Not even a crimping iron will work on my hair.

Alicia: Mmm. It’s dead straight. Might need hot rollers.

Lily: Could you?

Alicia: Can try. Never curled Asian hair. To make it stay curled overnight you might need to go the whole hog and use gel and loads of hairspray too.
