What is the best pomade or gel or anti-frizz smoothing cream or whatever for all the little hairs that escape or when doing an updo?

Thanks so much love your tutorials!!! Have you used Nerium night cream Id love to stmd you a free sample for you to try out! Email me if your interested [email protected]
Wow, you are so gorgeous but I love the self-deprecating facial expressions. Just out of curiosity, do you color your hair? It looks natural but unbelievably pretty & matches your eyebrows. Also wondering if the pictures are airbrushed because your skin is flawless! Unfairly flawless :-) I swear, I’m not trying to sound like I ‘m having a girl crush. I was just blown away & in the rare mood to post it.
P.S. BTW, #4 is my favorite. I’m going to do my daughters hair like that for her school pictures
Hi Jamie, Thank you! I highlight my hair with golden blonde and white blonde highlights. I also dye my eyebrows medium ash brown.
Amazing. Your eyebrows match your hair perfectly!

I don’t understand the difference between a late braid and a French braid?
Oops! Lace *
A french braid has hair pulled in on both sides while a lace braid only has hair pulled in on one side.
