1. Snack on Nuts
Eating clean is not only good for your health and skin but your hair as well. When you get the urge to snack on something, reach for nuts, specifically Brazil nuts. Hair stylist David Babaii of Blo Blow Dry Bar recommends munching on 3-4 Brazil nuts a day for healthier, longer hair in a few weeks. Brazil nuts are high in selenium which helps the body process proteins that are responsible for hair growth.
2. Wear Two Ponytails
If you dream of having a longer, thicker ponytail without extensions, hairstylist Ryan Richman recommends doubling up your ponytail. "Tie a high ponytail with the front half of your hair. Tie another ponytail underneath it with the rest of the hair. The high pony will cover the low one, and your ponytail will appear twice as long," instructs Richman. Richman is responsible for working his magic on celebs such as Sky Ferreira, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, and Florence Welch.
Frequently asked questions
3. It’s Impossible to Condition Your Hair Too Much
First Lady Michelle Obama’s hair stylist, Johnny Wright, advises us to deep condition our hair frequently to not only nourish our hair but to achieve a glossy sheen. He reveals that true luminous shine is achieved at the root of the hair which makes deep conditioning crucial. He recommends deep condition after every shampoo, but depending on your hair type, you might not need to deep condition as often. Aim to consistently deep condition your hair weekly or bi-weekly for strong, shiny hair that can withstand frequent styling.
4. Replace Some of Your Hair Care Products with a Dryer Sheet
I love trying cheap and easy hair and beauty hacks and this might be one of the best yet! Demi Lovato and Hayden Panettiere’s hair stylist Clyde Haygood suggests swapping your shine spray, smoothing serum, and dry shampoo with a dryer sheet the next time you’re in a pinch. A dryer sheet can easily freshen up your hair, tame frizz and static, and add shine.
5. Color Your Hair Gradually
Celeb hairstylist Jen Atkins of the Kardashian glam squad reveals that most celebs who go through color transformations do so gradually. While some opt to go from brunette to blonde in one day with lots of deep conditioning in between to repair hair as it lightens. Remember when Khloe Kardashian went from brunette to brunette with blonde highlights to platinum blonde? Going the gradual route is not only easier on the hair, but it also tends to look more natural.

6. Tame Baby Hairs with a Makeup Brush
Brushes and combs are essential for styling and caring for our hair, but when it comes to taming baby hairs and flyaways, Lacy Redway recommends reaching for your makeup brush. Hair stylist to Amandla Stenberg, Lupita Nyong’o, and Olivia Palermo says spritz some hairspray on the bristles of an old makeup brush and smooth over baby hairs and flyaways. Gigi Hadid is also said to use this trick!
7. Mist Your Hair
For the last hair tip, I thought I’d share a tip straight from a celebrity! Actress Lucy Hale says she uses her face mist on her tresses after she flatirons her hair to add moisture and tame frizz. Her favorite face mist is Evian Facial Water Spray, but you can always make your own by mixing essential oils with items such as rose water or aloe vera depending on your hair and skin needs.
