M🐠 here trying to get light twists or something similar with some texture going. I’m having a hard time getting it to work well using leave in conditioner, curling cream, and hair sponge. Any guidance, resources, or tricks I can try? I really want to get away from the clean fade and brushed look that I’m used to.

LOCS method might help. After washing, leave in conditioner (mielle is a good one), oil (i use castor oil), curling creme (in your case, twisting souffle from mielle) and styling gel (i recently started using xtreme styling gel). an id maybe do twists by hand and leave the sponge alone. good luck!

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

My blowout shrinks so fast. I would like to use a flat iron to help, but I've never used one before. Would straightening it at 150-180° even do anything? I don't want heat damage, so I don't want to go above that.

I have really fine hair and have been using a mayo and egg mask very two weeks. That and using a some hair oil from CulturedTresses has really thickened my hair. Is every two weeks too much protein?
