- Nope, oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
Fuck! (laughs)
Okay, we pulled it out.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
I'm good, it's fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
That was scary. (laughs)
(playful music)
- We are trying out the BaByliss Curl Secret.
- This thing is supposed to A,
make it easier for you to curl your hair
because it does all the counting for you.
It also curls your hair really fast.
It's also supposed to make the curls hold longer.
- How do they know my curls are gonna last longer?
This is fine hair.
Curls don't last for shit in this.
- I have nothing to stack that against
because I don't know how to use a normal curling iron.
- Is that why you're not doing this today?
You're having me do the challenge.
- (laughs) I think I have too much hair for this challenge.
We will be here for an hour.
- Okay, that's fair.
- The last time I tried an As Seen On TV-esque
type of hair machine, my hair got caught.
- We don't want that to happen again.
- Not doing that.
- Not today.
- But I'm just here for moral support.
- Yeah, Fred's gonna sit here and make fun of me
while I try to figure this out.
- I'll curl it, and then it'll be good for an Insta picture
and then it's like, bye.
- I curl my hair a lot.
I curl my hair, I would say, maybe three times a week.
My hair tends to not hold a curl when it's clean,
and actually right now it's very clean.
So I'm very curious to see how it's gonna work.
- Puttin it to the test
- for real. - Yes.
- I have a sort of history with hair products
in that I often get things stuck in my hair
because when you have fine hair,
your hair gets really tangly, so, these round brushes,
I've gotten stuck in my hair multiple times,
so this can. - Oh.
- Usually, when I'm curling my hair,
it's me and a curling iron and I'm just like--
- You have to hold it
- You're holding it like, - And your arms are cramped.
- I'm like, is it done? - Yeah.
- Am I done?
- If your hair happens to get caught inside,
it could burn to a crisp.
- Should we do this?
(laughter)
- I don't know about this future.
- Yeah, I only know how to straighten it
and straighten my hair. (laughs)
- I'm probably gonna go bald in the next four years,
so let's do this.
Let's speed up the process, right?
- Yeah, I mean no, sorry!
(laughter)
- All right, are we trying this?
- Yeah, let's do it.
- Okay.
- Before you start using the new BaByliss Curl Secret,
please take the time to read these instructions.
- It's not designed for very long hair.
It should not be used on hair lengths below the bust.
Does it mean the bottom of the bust or the top of the bust?
- I think you're in the clear.
- Hair should be clean, dry, combed through,
and free of dry shampoo.
- It is clean-ish.
- Separate a clean section of hair
around three centimeters wide.
Okay, so a centimeter is like, as wide as this.
- What, how do you, what?
- Like, one, two, three!
- Wait, a centimeter is as wide as your pinkie?
I guess that's about right.
- Sure. - Sure.
- Why not? (laughter)
- Always insert the styler into the hair
with the open part of the curl chamber
facing towards the head.
- These are worse than Ikea directions.
- Wait, the picture is really not helpful.
- So what do they want me to do?
- [Freddie] Wait.
- This should be, wait, but this, is that the part?
It's hot. - Mhmm, it is hot.
- It's on the lowest setting, and it's really hot.
- Oh god, oh I just got scared.
(cheerful music)
- All right, should we just go for it?
- It's easy for you to say.
(laughter)
- Oh, okay.
(surprised exclamations)
- It's so cute!
- Little curled poquito.
- Poquito! - Poquito.
Like a Cheeto.
All right, I'm done.
- So put it in there like that?
- Yeah. - And then.
It worked! - Look at it!
Look at it!
- Let's do it again and see what happens again! (laughter)
- Yeah, it is really pretty. - I feel like
I've been through a war.
(laughter)
- I think the smoke is a little normal.
I think you get, I don't think it's smoke.
I think it's steam?
- Let's try a bigger section.
Let's get crazy.
Hey!
- I'm feeling protective of you now.
I'm like, don't hurt this little head!
- Now you just look like a very fancy villain from The Ring.
- I'm beautiful.
How The Ring got her groove back.
- Yes.
- Oh, it's so cute.
Oh my goodness, you are so bouncy.
You are so bouncy right now.
- Okay, let go.
Hey!
- What a fun little little gadget.
- Oh my god! (laughs)
(dramatic music)
- Everyone needs a little warmth to the crotch.
- A little hot plate to the crotch, no big deal.
- One of these days I'm gonna get burned.
- It's so cute. - I guess--
- I'm getting jealous.
It's so cute!
- Do you wanna do one strand of your hair?
Just one?
Oh you're curious.
That tongue went, when Chantel's thinking,
tongue will go up.
She'll go like, huh, huh, maybe?
- [Chantel] Okay so you wanna just try a little strand?
- Just a little one, just a little one.
If this works for Chantel,
it might be perfect because she doesn't know
how to curl her hair so.
- I don't know how to curl my hair.
And I've tried learning multiple times
and I'm just bad at it.
- All right, and then just close it down.
- Right here? - Yeah.
Oh, look at that baby curl!
- Oh my god, look!
- It's cute!
- So how long would you say it usually takes you
to curl your own hair the old fashioned way?
- Oh my god, it probably takes me 10 minutes.
Let's go.
Okay, I got cocky.
- I wish they made this with a bigger barrel
so that you could do a bigger curl
and a bigger chunk of hair maybe
because if I'm doing little baby chunks,
this is gonna take me hours.
- There is a safety thing in this where if you do it wrong,
it does do the three beeps and that means
you should let it go and start over.
But I've definitely had a couple moments
where it's gotten stuck.
- It's mesmerizing to watch.
I love watching the little hair get in like. (zips)
- It's kind of starting to smell
like burned hair in here a little bit. (laughs)
- Just slightly alarming.
- A little alarming.
I think that you definitely, if you use this,
you have to use a heat-protectant.
It can't be too wide at the top,
but if you're doing it from the back,
there's kind of no way of knowing
whether or not you sectioned it correctly.
(mimics jazz music)
- You need your flapper dress.
- Yes!
Context, Chantel and I are going to go out tonight
and drink a bunch of Ciroc.
- Aka I'll probably have just a lot of cheese.
- So our hair needs to be perfectly curled!
- Our hair needs to be perfectly curled
because we're going to a thing.
- Girls night!
- Whoa, it did one little thing and was like, nope, abort!
And so I was like, okay, I'll let it go!
- You are exchanging efficiency for
- Terror. - Terror.
- Oh, oh god, oh god, oh god.
(laughter)
I put too big of a chunk or something in there.
- [Chantel] Oh no.
- And it, oh god, that was really scary.
- Literally the second this goes into the curler,
everyone in the room is just like.
And then everybody's like (blows out),
everybody cops out.
- I was really on board with the Babybliss,
or whatever the fuck it's called until this happened.
Let's take this back to the drawing boards
and figure this shit out
because you shouldn't curl stuff in if it's getting stuck.
- It's like awkward. - Yeah.
- I find myself having to use my non-dominant hand a lot.
- Yeah. - I think I'm just old school.
You finish.
- Okay, Fred's like, I'm over it.
- I'm defeated.
- I'm so scared.
I don't wanna burn her little head.
- It's terrifying.
Abort!
- Oh, it's good,
- It's good, okay.
- Scared shitless, but my hair looks great.
- I think it works really well for your hair.
- Yes, I agree when I was over here, yes.
But then that one moment where I thought
things were gonna get stuck, I saw the light.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah, I saw it too. - Yeah. (laughs)
- When we first started this,
I was like oh wow, this is very easy to use.
It's very efficient.
It's very quick and it's cooperative.
Then ...
- We thought we'd do the whole head of hair,
and then we ran into some difficulties.
- Yes.
- In a pinch, I might use this,
but in a pinch, you know, I might eat Easy Mac.
No, I would do that normally anyway.
- So Devin and I are going to a function tonight
and we're gonna be out and about.
- Mhmm, on the town.
- We'll see how long this lasts.
- Yeah.
- First time you use this should not be
when you're on a time crunch to get to an event.
- It should be just at home for fun learning how to do it.
- Learning how to do the back is gonna take you--
- Yeah. - a hot second.
A hot second!
It's gonna take you a hot second
to learn how to do the back.
- Nice teamwork!
- Yeah, we did it!
Let's take these curls on the town!
- [Devin] We cut the cameras, but Chanty's still here.
- I like it!
- [Devin] Yeah, imagine that curling your hair can be fun!
- I like it.
- [Devin] Are we drinking alcohol tonight?
- No, probably not. - Yeah.
- So it's many hours later.
Even though my makeup is gone, my curls are still here!
My curls outlasted most of my makeup,
so I'd say this is a pretty successful curl job.
- Well, I forgot to vlog at all last night
when Devin and I were out.
But here is stars of my curls.
I wasn't even planning on curling my hair
because I thought it was gonna take too long.
Then I started doing it, and I was like, this is great!
So maybe I don't have to learn how to curl my hair
because I'll just use this thing forever.
- End of the night and yeah,
the curls have kind of all fallen out.
Hair is poofy though.
Look at me.
I look like a silver mushroom top.
- I think the curls' sudden wave kind of works.
I don't know that I would say that it made it last longer,
but we're also testing it out without putting
any sort of product in our hair
just to see if it would naturally make it last longer.
So that is a pretty tought test to stand.
But right now, it's just kind of a nice little subtle wave
that I do not mind.
- Lady tested, lady surprised.
- We're gonna sip Ciroc.
We're gonna talk to creatives in this town.
- Someone cut!
