I have a hair brushing question. Curly girls have been told (at least in the past, I don't keep up with these things) not to comb our hair at all. I usually just run my fingers through mine, scrunch, and go. Should I be brushing my hair or not?

That's a phenomenal question. I'll ask Bomi for next time but I've written about curly hair over the years and they usually say to scrunch!

I cover my hair in public (religious, married) but my hair is still really important to me. My hair stylist finally told me to get a keratin treatment to tame what used to be solidly flat hair but over time and with wearing hats became too poofy, unless I blow dried it, which I don't have the patience to do. It's been a tremendous game changer. My hair looks amazing (if I say so myself!) without any effort. Of course, my stylist cuts it just so. . . this was a great post.

I love this info! Most people i know who cover their hair have lank hair. I love that yours is super stylish and keratin-amazing! And yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful.

Yes - the lighter shades as you age is very interesting! I feel like it's a natural progression for most women, but never realized that lightening can distract from wrinkles, etc.

I did on some level from doing makeup. I used to (and still do) try to talk people out of dyeing their eyebrows black!

So informative! I appreciate the lighter is better advice. Went from auburn to blonde, definitely turned back time. Thank you for sharing such helpful advice.

I'm so thrilled it was helpful! And I love auburn hair, but I can see how blonde is probably more flattering!
