The first item on your agenda before trying any new trend should be getting your strands in tip-top shape, and this usually means one thing: moisture. "Skin regenerates itself, but hair does not," says Pantene Celebrity Stylist Danilo, whose A-list clients include Gwen Stefani and Rooney Mara. "Hair needs all the help it can get. It needs the moisture, the emollients to look shiny and soft to the touch and workable, as opposed to breaking off." Use a moisturizing conditioner in the shower every day. Once a week, deep condition your hair with a mask such as Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal 2-Minute Moisture Masque ($6.99, pgestore.com). Have really dried out, damaged hair? Try a multi-day treatment such as Original & Mineral Seven Day Miracle Moisture Masque ($31.95, originalmineral.com). You can help your hair get healthier as you style it, too. Danilo recommends using leave-in conditioner as a styling product when wearing your hair up (a la Gwen's signature topknot), so your hair soaks up moisture while looking good, too. Try Bumble & Bumble Leave In Conditioner ($23, sephora.com).
