Hair Advice to Our Younger Selves
1. Embrace your natural hair texture.
“When I was younger, I would straighten my hair until it was perfectly sleek and stick straight. I wish I had been more open to enhancing my natural waves rather than getting rid of them completely. I would tell my younger self to ease up on the hair straightening and start embracing her natural waves much sooner! Now I feel the most ‘me’ whenever my hair is full of volume (thanks to TIGI Copyright Custom Create Volume Lift Styling Spray) and texture and I wish I could have experienced that sooner.” —Miriam Herst, Beauty Editor
2. Heat protectant will save your strands.
“I would tell my younger self to use heat protectant! I used to blow dry and straighten my hair every day without it and I had so many flyaways and split ends it took forever to get back to a healthy state again. Now that I use heat protectant like TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray, my hair is stronger, softer and shinier when I style it.” — Marisa Haber, Junior Beauty Writer
3. Experiment with different styles.
