Natasha Pickowicz has unimaginable hair, and numerous 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 model that works, and it couldn’t be simpler…

Says Natasha:
“My hair is thick and coarse, like numerous 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 big floppy scrunchies. If yow will discover them on sale, Ganni ones maintain their elastic properly 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 sporting 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 sporting this gold ribbon as my fortunate attraction on my cookbook tour. It’s fortunate to put on gold in the course of the Lunar New Yr. I prefer it form 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 ebook occasion.”
