This morning, I was doing my hair and decided to try a new product I bought yesterday. The product is by got2b (a kind of rip off of Bed Head products) and is the "Crazysleek Hot Smooth Flat Iron and Blow Dry Lotion." I got it from the grocery store, like most of my hair products (there is currently no room in the Alford budget for high priced hair products). So, I tried it, you add it to damp hair. 
It is a spray bottle, but I discovered the consistency is more gel like, so I just sprayed it into my hands and starting working it into my hair. At first, it kind of smelled like french toast or like donuts, sounds good to you huh? [a little background: I have superhuman olfactory senses so I can smell anything in the vicinity minutes before anyone else even notices.] Ok, so I am not a big fan of baked-good-smelling products (sugar cookie candles, vanilla lotions, etc.), but I thought, "So I smell like donuts, that's not bad. My super-sensitive nose is probably the only one who will detect it anyway." HOWEVER, almost instantly after thinking this, the smell took a turn. Evidently, too much yummy donut smell turns into burned plastic or burned hair smell. Gag! And gag again. I know this is so dramatic, but I considered getting back in the shower and washing my hair again. It was that bad. I am far too stubborn to let some hair lotion upset my already-in-progress-getting-ready-routine, plus my hair is very thick and getting pretty long (a redo wash would take some time). So, I toughed it out (after I covered it up with my Dove Leave-in Treatment = good smell). But I must say, my stomach had a couple of close calls because each time my hair passes in front of my face, I smell it. You know how products and movies can receive a "2 thumbs down" review, I give this nasty-smelling stuff a different hand signal.

If I have saved just one person from making this mistake, my work is done. ickthyuck!

what the heck, I check your blog every day and nothing. I wait three days and BAM, 2 posts. I like it.
I think I would buy any product with a description like "Crazysleek".
