Tweak product amount, tightness, or placement to match your hair. Be real: some mornings youve got five minutes, some youve got twenty. Most of these are forgiving and easy to make work. Try a couple this week and keep the ones that actually do. Which one will you try tomorrow and how did it go? Tell me!
