What’s your best advice?

Try Jack Winn BAM humidity resistant spray to smooth and soften your hair. Then try Jack Winn Prime Shine to give shine without greasiness and Jack Winn Kick Up for volume and body. Using Jack Winn Vitamin Silk will give it weightless moisture. With these products, simply blow-dry smooth with a brush. You can also flat iron with low heat to give more shine!

It’s also a nice cut for women wanting to scrunch their natural curl for a style or curl with an iron! It gives you many options to choose from and is fairly easy to maintain. Women 50+ with fine hair, and a lot of it, you’ll really love this textured look! If you have less hair, it may not look as chunky and full, but it still gives texture.
