By now, you're familiar with the idea that there are some items laying around your home waiting to be given new life and used in your beauty routine. Well, curly-haired ladies, this pro tip is for you — and you will probably never think about making spaghetti the same way ever again.

"You guys, I saw a video on Instagram the other day where a girl dried her hair with a fine strainer!" she writes in the caption. "So I had to try it out … And I loved the result!"
Sharafani gathers her towel-dried hair into the strainer ...
… section-by-section, and blow-dries it close to her scalp, but through the mesh. It works similarly to a diffuser.
Without using her fingers or towel to scrunch it, she gets her hair to come out in perfect curls.
Genius, right?
