The name may sound very simple and self-explanatory but there is more to this popular natural hairstyle than simply washing and going. On the contrary, there are a few steps in between washing your hair and walking out the door with beautiful bouncy curls. With a world of
products to choose from and new techniques emerging every few months, mastering this “simple” hairstyle can be more complicated than necessary. Not to mention different hair textures have a harder time getting this method to work for their curl pattern.
“It is not really simple and it is not one size fits all. And for some women, it is not a wash-and-go, it just looks like one,” says Carol’s Daughter Founder

After what feels like an eternity of quarantine skincare, and minimal zoom-meeting makeup, this summer promises a much-needed return to bold, fun makeup.
There’s nothing like warmer weather to make you want to go out and look your best, and these 8 makeup trends are on standby to give you the ultimate summer glam. We spoke to top makeup experts including L’Oréal Paris US Makeup Artist & Creative Director Sir John, Garnier Beauty Consultant Millie Morales and Urban Decay Global Makeup Artist Steve Kassajikian who shared their predictions for this summer’s top makeup trends.
“I’m trying to be optimistic and hopeful that by the summer, mask mandates may be lifted and we may not be required to wear one at all times. If this is the case, it’s going to be a serious summer of statement lips,” Sir John tells ELLE.

While there was a huge mess of things I couldn t control, inside my bathroom, standing in front of my mirror, I attempted to control my skin.
