I ran into Carl of Buzz Strong fame this morning at Wisdom Café. Buzz Strong makes the famously tasty caffeinated cookie. He must love coffee.

He told me about a physics principle or law or somesuch that says when you inject energy into a system, it will eventually organize.

Then he said that based on this principle, someone invented a hair de-tangler. It’s an electronic comb like thing with big teeth that you insert into a mess of tangled hair and it vibrates and de-tangles. Sounds like an urban myth to me.

Way! Not only does it exist, KRBC, “Abilene’s First News” featured it in its “Does it Work” section!

Remington’s Tangle Tamer (excerpted from KRBC’s site):

Go figure a product that kids actually like using to take the tangles out of their hair. And just like the box said. NO TANGLES, NO TEARS, NO TANTRUMS.

Who’d’ve thunk?

Then I ran into Carl again down the street a little later and he said, “Hey, I was thinking… That’s what you do, right?”

I thought, “Uh, no, Carl, I’ve got a curly mess of hair but I don’t consider myself to be a hair de-tangler.”

He continued, “You inject energy into systems to give them a more organized form.” Hmm, hadn’t thought about it that way… But I guess so. That would make me a Tangle Tamer! LOL
