HairStyling Sniglets

Introduction

Eric Von Lockhart

You know what a "sniglet" is, don't you? It's a madeup word describing something, for example: Destinesea is what happens to you when you walk into a room and forget why you're there.

Get the idea? Now, there are also sniglets that just apply to hair. Is this official? (Well, yes--you're reading it right here, aren't you?)
