For my dérive I started off with a Buzzfeed quiz about cooking. I love cooking so that quiz definitely caught my attention. In the sidebar I noticed an article about Coachella so I clicked on that since I was curious to see what the weird trends were this year. While I was scrolling through that article, I noticed another article in the sidebar focused on makeup. I'm obsessed with makeup so I clicked on that article next. One of the makeup artists was insanely pretty so I clicked on her video, which took me to her YouTube channel. In the description of her video, she listed all the products she used in the tutorial. One of the listed products was a wig. Her hair looked great so I clicked on the wig company's link, which led me to my final link- UNice 4 Bundles Indian Body Wave Hair Weft With Closure.

It was interesting to see how I started off with a Buzzfeed quiz about cooking catastrophes and ended up on a slightly suspicious Chinese site selling hair bundles. I actually spent a lot of time on the wig company's website (partially because the horribly translated English was amusing and partially because I was curious about the different types of wig options). I found myself pretty deeply intrigued by all the different wig types and was trying to learn the differences between Peruvian, Malaysian, Brazilian, and Indian hair (and those are only a few options).
