I think we've all done it in the wee hours of the morning. There we are diligently pinning away on Pinterest when we come across a pin that seems too good to be true. Recently, I saw a post about applying brown sugar water to your hair to straighten it without heat. My inner stylist called total bull crap, but part of me was like "OOO! That's awesome!". I clicked on the link and was taken to some site that had nothing to do with the pin. Spam (womp womp). But, me being me decided I wanted to try it anyway.
I have no link for a pin because I do not want to send you to any sort of spam sites. I googled brown sugar water for hair straightening and came up with a bunch of different Yahoo question pages. So, I took matter into my own hands. Here's what I did.
1. Microwave one cup of water for 2 minutes (I wanted it hot enough to disolve the brown sugar).
2. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar and stir, stir, stir (I used light brown sugar and honestly do not know if there is a difference between light and not light?)
3. Pour into spray bottle.
4. Let cool.
5. Apply to clean wet hair and let dry.
I took a before picture yesterday so I styled my hair in the same manner that I did yesterday..which means I put some jumbo velcro rollers on the ends after my hair had already dried and walked around the house for 20 minutes.
Here is a visual of the result:
The left is yesterday without brown sugar water, and the right is today.

Did it work? I don't know my hair has a mild almost invisible wave to it that I can usually brush out. So, while I can not attest to it straightening curly hair I can tell you that my hair seems less frizzy (not sticky), and a lot fuller! I have super thin baby fine hair and am balding so I was very pleased with how full this made my hair appear!
Have a pin you think is total crap but our still curious about? Let me know, I'll try it out and share the results.
Same goes for products.
