All-Time Fave: L'Oréal Paris
“One of the products I’ve always loved is hairspray. L'Oréal Paris Elnett is the best — it allows hair to set beautifully and also brushes out of the hair easily, so it leaves room to play and change your mind. I also love super hold hairspray for styles that need to stay put. It keeps the hair in place all day and secures the style.”
Elnett, $12.99 at Target

All-Time Fave: Kérastase
“Blowdry lotion is one of my must-have products. It cuts down on frizz, keeps humidity out of the hair once the blowdry is done, and it allows for a blowout to look great and last longer. Kérastase Ciment Thermique is a great heat protector that strengthens the hair, leaving it instantly shiny and smooth. The perfect ingredient for a great blowout.”

All-Time Fave: Shu Uemura
“I really like using wax with certain hairstyles. It instantly brings out the layers and natural texture of the hair and accents it wonderfully. Shu Uemura Yokan Craft Texturizing Melt creates easy hold with great shine.”

Current Obsession: L'Oréal Paris
“I love dry shampoo because it can do so much. Not only can it be used for cleansing and extending the life of your blowout, but it also can be used to create style as well. It adds volume and texture to the hair that lasts. L'Oréal Paris EverStyle Dry Shampoo is great for both absorbing excess oil, but also giving that volume and texture to create a subtle, slept in look.”
