Wet suburbia big hair shampoo bar and lather a small amount into hair. Leave in for as long as it takes to make one TV Dinner. (Also a good time to catch up on the Enquirer.) Rinse, dry upside down, and backcomb. And then backcomb again. By-the-way, when Pierre from Chez Pierre tells you that spiral perms are so yesterday, just say what you always do when you don't quite get it: "Yeah, like whatever."
