In this new feature we’ll suggest a lifestyle trick you should steal from a different walk of life.
Do you have wavy hair that never looks quite right unless you’ve spent about an hour under the blowdryer wrastling with a roundbrush? This is a special kind of hell when you’ve got an early meeting with a client or otherwise have to look professional before you’re fully awake. Here’s a tip: Take a shower the night before and, after your hair dries slightly (i.e., no longer dripping), add some gel to it. Then, French braid your hair.
Yes, you heard us right. In fact, if you have thick hair (or a side part) we’d suggest French braiding pigtails into your hair. You may not have French-braided your hair (or worn pigtails) since you were in grade school, but when dry, your hair will be perfectly wavy. (Which, depending on the length of your hair and the level of professionalism of the meeting, you can then pull back into a low ponytail or barrette or just wear it loose). You get to wake up in the morning, undo the braids, and run off to your meeting without a care in the world about your hair.
