You are taking the context as an EE pro. But most of mere mortals may
not know the meaning of the fancy word "ion". The key word would be
"satin", - to make hair look like satin textile. Olin said, he prefers
denim ions. So, non-EE-pro mere mortal would think he meant "denim", a
rugged cotton twill textile. Denim hair style, why not?

But again, if an engineer were too far into EE, "Twill" would mean
double, and as denim can be associated with Wrangler Star, that's why
it could cause the analogy to PCB :-)

Hope the above was not too off-topic.
