When I first met Ina and her sister Ima, I got stuck in a Jakarta bar for hours because of a thunderstorm. We could not leave because the rain would make their hair all curly.
In 1872, Marcel Grateau (a Parisian) used heated rods to straighten or style hair. In 1909, Issac K. Shero patented a hair straightener composed of two flat irons that are heated and pressed together. Almost one hundred years later, the flat iron is still Ina's preferred method of straightening her hair after having taking a shower.
Hair straightening is a time consuming routine, so there is plenty of time to watch some Hollywood celebrity gossip videos on TMZ.
