We were one of those families with a tub of Vaseline and a bottle of baby oil in our bathroom. Vaseline was used for chapped lips, burns, cuts, scrapes, you name it. Baby oil, along with its sister product, baby lotion, was used for slathering on skin and hair to lock in moisture. I distinctly remember my grandmother oiling up with baby oil before heading out to the backyard pool to lay in the sun. I know, right? As I grew up, I followed suit. I used baby oil as a suntan lotion, smoothed it into...

I have strange hair. It’s just a reality I have learned to deal with over the years. Stylist after stylist has commented on it: “Oh wow. Your hair is wavy on the top and board straight on the bottom.” Yep. The top half of my scalp grows my hair differently from the bottom half of my scalp.

Whether blow drying or air drying,...

We worked with her on different styles and approaches and finally figured...
