Natasha Pickowicz has unimaginable hair, and a whole lot of it. As a chef and writer (her new cookbook, Everybody Scorching 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. Via trial and error, Natasha discovered a enjoyable model that works, and it couldn’t be simpler…
Says Natasha:
“My hair is thick and coarse, like a whole lot 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 favor big equipment which might be ‘in proportion’ to my hair, like big floppy scrunchies. If you will discover them on sale, Ganni ones maintain their elastic effectively and are available in 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 big bows excessive on my head, Minnie Mouse model. And outsized claw clips, that are ’90s/Moist Seal coded. I am going by 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 attraction on my cookbook tour. It’s fortunate to put on gold through the Lunar New Yr. 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 social gathering.”
