Natasha Pickowicz has unbelievable hair, and a number of it. As a chef and writer (her new cookbook, Everybody Sizzling Pot, simply got here out!), she additionally has a bodily demanding job that requires it to be out of the way in which. “After I first began, I’d pull it up in tight bun or ponytail, and it gave me TERRIBLE complications,” she says. By means of trial and error, Natasha discovered a enjoyable type that works, and it couldn’t be simpler…
Says Natasha:
“My hair is thick and coarse, like a number of Chinese language hair. To maintain it out of my face, I pull the highest part again right into a small bun or half-ponytail with a hair accent. I desire large equipment which might be ‘in proportion’ to my hair, like large floppy scrunchies. If you’ll find them on sale, Ganni ones maintain their elastic nicely and are available nice prints. My different tip is to go to Asian supermarkets or snack outlets — like Daiso, H Mart, or Teso — to get cute Korean or Japanese hair equipment for reasonable.”
“I additionally love carrying large bows excessive on my head, Minnie Mouse type. And outsized claw clips, that are ’90s/Moist Seal coded. I am going via SO many of those XL bobby pins, that are the one pins that maintain my thick hair in place.”
“Lastly, I’ve been carrying this gold ribbon as my fortunate allure on my cookbook tour. It’s fortunate to put on gold in the course of the Lunar New 12 months. I prefer it sort of wrinkly/floppy, so it doesn’t look too twee. This one was actually the wrapping from a present my buddy Maria gave me at my e-book get together.”
