Getting a perfect blowout is a route to instant pretty. Somehow, a stylist can do magical things with a round brush and a gust of hot air that transform our tresses from flat and stringy to luxurious and va va voom. Unless, of course, that stylist is your boyfriend.

In a new video from Cosmopolitan.com, boyfriends are handed the blow dryer and asked to give blowouts to their ladies. What ensues is exactly the display of ridiculous ineptitude that you would expect, from one girlfriend who "smell(s) burned weave" as her man works on her to another who feels "like a wet dog that's being patted down."

We can't say we'd want to hit the town rocking the 'dos that these guys give their girls, but it's definitely good for a laugh. Watch the couples in all of their "You were able to achieve everything that I strive to not do to my head," glory here:

Hopefully, this will at least help dudes understand why it takes us so long to get ready.
