Just because I love the name 'Harlene.' I'm gonna name a cat Harlene, just watch me.

This is the first time I've ever seen "Harlene" independent of "Quinzel."
I like it, too. Has a twenties ring to it.

Yes because I still can't figure out exactly what it is. At first I thought it was some sort of Marcelling tool, but apparently it's supposed to encourage hair growth somehow.

It seems to be conditioner, shampoo, then a styling product or leave-in conditioner. They are using "drill" to mean a routine, not an appliance. :)

I can't figure out what a "hair-drill" is, and I don't care!

Drill meaning routine or regimen, not power tool.

Ah, drill meaning regimen or routine, as in "drill sergeant".
