Natasha Pickowicz has unbelievable hair, and plenty 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 trial and error, Natasha discovered a enjoyable fashion that works, and it couldn’t be simpler…
Says Natasha:
“My hair is thick and coarse, like plenty 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 want big equipment which can be ‘in proportion’ to my hair, like large floppy scrunchies. If yow will discover them on sale, Ganni ones maintain their elastic effectively and are available nice prints. My different tip is to go to Asian supermarkets or snack retailers — like Daiso, H Mart, or Teso — to get cute Korean or Japanese hair equipment for reasonable.”
“I additionally love carrying big bows excessive on my head, Minnie Mouse fashion. And outsized claw clips, that are ’90s/Moist Seal coded. I’m going by means of SO many of those XL bobby pins, that are the one pins that preserve 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 through 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 pal Maria gave me at my guide occasion.”
