Tszuj

When I worked at Ralph Lauren, whenever we were styling looks for runway shows or on models, Ralph and Jerry Lauren would turn to me and say, “Carson give that a little tszuj.” “Tszuj it” just means tweak it, finesse it, make it better, make it personal.

I finish, I go get dressed, and head back into the bathroom to tszuj my hair and leave.

As I tszuj my newly freed hair, I realise that the plait has left me with some sort of crimped effect. I run my hands over it, but I can feel how big and eighties it must be looking.
