Years ago, when the beehive hairstyle was all the rage, a female teen got tired of spending hours for the creation and upkeep of the latest beehive 'do.' Instead of ratting and teasing her hair endlessly then applying the appropriate and expensive hair products of the time in order to make her beehive behave as it should, she found a quicker, longer-lasting way to make the 'hive' harden and thus be fashionable.
What the teen started doing on a regular basis was to wash her hair in an application of inexpensively mixed sugar-water, then allowed the sugar water to dry and harden in exactly the style she wanted. She then had to sleep with a towel wrapped a certain way about her hair and she also slept on a specially sized half pillow overnight to ensure that her locks were undisturbed.
Ah but the towel and pillow were just minor inconveniences in order to attain the elaborate beehive hairstyle the teen wanted each day.
One morning, however, her mother missed her at the breakfast table, and so went to the teen's room to rouse her for the morning meal.
What the mother found was horrendous.
Her daughter was dead right in her bed, her hair and face covered with bugs.
It is unclear whether the bugs smothered her as she slept or stung her to death in the night, but on thing is certain...
When the teen's body was removed from the home and prepared for burial, the coroner had to shave off all her hair and place a wig on the teen because so many bugs were nested in her locks.
