TheGloss is one daily must-reads (right up there with the NY Times). We love the site’s witty approach to style and its smart and irreverent voice. We like the writing so much, in fact, that we’ll be featuring one of their posts each week here on the Birchbox blog.

Fun fact, I really only know how to do 2 hairstyles! When I don’t hot-roll my hair I generally braid it and twist it up. Sometimes because I want to look nice for a party, sometimes because I do not have 10 spare minutes in the morning. Man, since we’re doing this all week, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are really going to suck. But on the upside, if you only know how to do these two hairstyles, people will think you know a lot about hair and ask you questions.

Our operations manager, Bianca, is enviable for many reasons: she’s charismatic, has phenomenal style, is drop-dead gorgeous…and she can do the coolest things with her hair. Case in point: Today, Bianca has her hair up in a series of twists that she emphatically promises were as simple to create as twirling a few strands and then securing them with bobby pins. The cherry on top is her cute-as-a-button mega-curl situated right above her forehead and slightly off to the left side. Not only am I totally obsessed with this look, but I applaud Bianca for being very on trend with her retro-inspired ‘do.

To ensure that hair stays in place, give it a few spritzes of a non-sticky spray.
