Personal story while using product from @brittonrae

The creator tells a nostalgic story about a hair tool, the InStyler, which she has used since she was a child. While actively styling her hair with the tool, she recounts seeing its infomercial, begging her mom for it with aspirations of becoming a YouTuber, and secretly recording hair tutorials on Photo Booth. She concludes with a specific anecdote about a middle school counselor commenting on her hairstyle, which was created with the same tool.
