Although the hairstyle has changed with the times, the story has remained the same. A girl who is very concerned with her looks decides to wash her hair in sugar water and leave it wrapped in a towel overnight so that it will dry in the exact shape she wants. The next morning, however, she doesn’t come down for breakfast. When her mom checks on her, she finds her dead in her bed. Upon removing the towel, it becomes apparent that she had been gnawed to death by either rats or bugs, depending on the version.
