There are many head-wrapping scarves to choose from, but the best ones for preserving your hair overnight are silk or satin. These materials reduce friction between your hair and your pillow, thereby eliminating frizzy ends when you wake up. You can choose any bandana-style, turban-style, or neck scarf, just so long as you can wrap and tie it around your head. Large wrapping bonnets are also available, but these may allow too much room for your hair to move around and are better used on large braids or locks. Try to stick with a scarf that you can wrap and tie firmly to your head. To help preserve your straightened hair, use an overnight serum that’s low in alcohol and high in keratin protein to sleep in. Squeeze a dime-sized amount of serum onto your fingertips, and work the serum into your hair using downward strokes. You will need to have your hair in 2 sections for this wrap technique. Use a comb or hair pick to make a part in the center back of your head. Tilt your head down, place your comb or at the back of your head and center it to create the part. If you have a side part in front, you can create a middle part there as well to have an equal amount of hair in both sections, but it’s optional. Brush out your hair, first brushing it forward away from your new part in the back. Then brush the front towards the back on each side, so that you have 2 evenly sized chunks of hair on each side. It may help to loosely tie a hairband around 1 side to keep it from joining the other side as you start the next step. Gather the hair on the left side of your head, about midway up in the back, as if you were going to make a pigtail. Bring the section tightly over the back of your head, so that the ends rest on the right side of your head and secure it with 1 curved bobby pin if your hair is newly styled. Do the same thing with the right section of hair, wrapping it tightly around the back of your head toward the left.  If you have a left side part, wrap your hair going to the right. If you have a right side part, wrap your hair to the left. If you secured either section of hair with an elastic band while parting it, remove the band before starting to wrap your hair. If your hair is very long, you may need to wrap each section around the front of your head and then back toward the back again. Be sure to keep it tight against your head. After both sides of your hair are tightly wrapped around your head, use curved bobby pins to pin the ends in place. The curved pins should form to your head to reduce the number of dents they make in your hair. If your hair is very long and you had to wrap it around the front of your head too, you may need to add a few more curved pins to secure all of it in place. Take your scarf and wrap it tightly around where you wrapped your hair. Place it flat against the back of your head, bring the sides up, and tie a knot in the front of the scarf so you don’t have to sleep on the knot. The scarf will hold your pins in place and prevent your hair from moving while you sleep.

There are a variety of smart phone apps for iPhones and Androids that you can use to change the sound of your voice, many of them free. New apps are always coming out, so check out the app store to find out what's available. Some of them allow you to record your voice and play it back in manipulated form, while others allow you to speak into the phone and project weird robot noises and other big changes. One app, Call Voice Changer, even lets you make calls with your new fake voice. You can use a Digital Audio Workstation (D.A.W) on a Windows or Mac. Garageband, ProTools or Ableton can all be used to record and manipulate your voice, then change it.  Use effects and plugins like distortion, pitch shifters, speed adjustments to make your voice sound gravely, low, or high, according to what you want. Record yourself saying common or funny phone phrases like, "What do you want?" or "Can I take a message?" or "My son won't be coming to school today" to pull off the gag. Play music just loud enough so that your voice can be heard over it. You can use other recorded sounds as well, including traffic noise, white noise and static, or even the sounds of heavy machinery.  Another person can help you by making humming noises or other sounds while you are speaking that have the same effect as recorded sounds. Put a handkerchief or other piece of cloth over the phone’s voice input area and move it around to create a static effect. Try using different materials for a different effect. One of the easiest and fastest ways to change your voice is to buy a little megaphone with silly effects to speak through. Voice changers can be found in magic or joke gift shops, as well as more serious surveillance stores, and even Halloween stores.  These toys are usually available at a wide range of prices, and the cost will usually determine the quality. Even the cheap ones help to make your voice sound a lot different.  A regular megaphone can be used to change the sound of your voice too. Just stand back from the phone, or you'll blow the other person away.
