Please Urgent Help!

Identify which figurative language is being used in the following sentence and explain what it means.

"I could tell she just got back from the beauty parlor because her hair was frizzed like she had just rammed her fingers into an electric socket."

(I know its a simile but I need help explaining it)

Answer 1

It just means her hair is really frizzy.

Answer 2

[see explanation]

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement you have made that the figurative language used is a simile is correct.

The statement compares two different things using 'like'.

The quotation was implying that her hair was extremely frizzed, comparing it to how one would visualize one's hair after getting electrocuted: all over the place and messy.

Hope this helps.
