I’m really a no frills kind of a girl when it comes to my hair. I am naturally blessed with straight hair. It is really easy to manage and for that, I’m thankful. My normal routine isn’t really a routine even. I get out of the shower and just let my hair naturally air dry. Ahh, the joys of Asian hair — no curling, no bends, etc. Every so often, I do like to add extra volume and do something a little more polished. I’ll blow dry my hair with a round brush and voila — instant volume and bounce. With the Houston humidity, I recommend Loreal’s Elnett Satin Hairspray. For a long time, this product could only be purchased in Europe. Now, it can be found in the U.S. at stores like Target and Ulta. It is the best hairspray ever. It holds but keeps the hair soft to the touch. You can even comb through to restyle and reshape! Try it and I promise you will love the natural results.

Yearbook Yourself

This is too funny! Yearbook Yourself is an interactive photo upload service that places your face in a myriad of hairstyles and poses ranging from the 1950s through 2000. It can be quirky at times and you have to precisely line up your face and features with their specified grids, but the results are hilarious. I assume this is an interactive “back to school” promotion that a number of shopping centers on the west coast are participating in to advertise their stores (although I’m not positive).

Still, it is a funny application that will have you laughing. Yearbook photos were bad enough while in high school. Unfortunately, Yearbook Yourself doesn’t make it any better. Guess we’re stuck with not being photogenic for the rest of our lives! Here are a few pictures of me that I thought were pretty funny. Loving the cheesy 80s chin pose!
