The combination of a strong arm and a round brush whips my frizz into bouncy curls a la Kate Middleton. Philip Kingsley agrees: "Professional blow-dries are a disaster - all the pulling and heat makes the hair brittle. Over the years, aggressive brushing can cause traction alopecia, which is where hair falls out.
Oh dear. I'm hoping for a tousled just-got-out-of-bed-look, but my friends are sceptical. Normally I comb my hair in the shower after applying conditioner. I know it's not great to comb wet hair - it's at its weakest when wet and can easily snap - but it helps to fight the knots. On day one, however, I use my fingers. I rough dry it, again using my hands to comb through. I won't lie, the result is triangular. Part curl, part frizz: per cent mess.
I put it in a bun. That night, I take out my hair and it actually looks good. I read online that putting unbrushed hair into a bun or plaits helps to tame it, while keeping its natural texture, so I plait my hair before falling asleep. The next day is a pleasant surprise. I undo the plaits to find hair that's tousled, not frizzy.

I am the laziest beauty junkie around, which means I love me some new products but hate fussing with my hair and makeup.
For my daily three-step hair routine, I shower in the morning, give my hair a quick rough-dry, then brush it through so that my locks dry straight on my commute. But this morning was different. After I finished blow-drying, I automatically reached for my boar-bristle hairbrush. It took all my willpower to unwrap each finger from the handle and let the brush go.
Not to be thwarted, I reached for my Moroccan Oil instead and ran a few drops through my ends so that I wouldn't be left with a tangled, gross mess. The day turned out to be one of those rapid-fire Mondays with me whizzing from one meeting to the next without a second thought about what I ate—let alone looked like—so my hair was fine I think. The next day, I had to be on camera for a quick video shoot, so I was forced to look at myself in the mirror and contend with the fact that, yes, I had not run a brush through my hair today.
I have that annoying hair texture that's not really straight and not quite wavy. Without some manipulating, it looks like I left a ponytail in my hair for too long. By the third day, this not-brushing thing was starting to catch up to me. My hair felt tangled, icky, and just not cute. I have what I consider to be typical Asian hair, which means I've got an oily scalp—oil that needs to be distributed down to the ends of my hair so that I don't end up with buildup and gunky roots.
