why would you bother with the bobby pins if you could just achieve messy hair with a blow dryer and then curl it and mess it up some more? duh.

That looks horrible. That look could be achieved just by sleeping with your hair down.

That sounds like the stupidest complete waste of time I could possibly imagine! Twist your hair all up, then blow it out, then curl it back with a curling iron! How incredibly stupid!
