BEAUTY TIPS

Shine on

Mixing a silicone-based shine serum with deep conditioner the night before a big event will leave strands shiny and healthy -- just like that, says Townsend (celebrity hairstylist who treats the tresses of A-list leading ladies like Natalie Portman and January Jones). Simply mix the duo together and apply; leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse out thoroughly.

KEEP YOUR HAIR SHINY & HEALTY

COLOR TREATMENT

STYLE YOUR HAIR DAILY

Turn down the heat

Although you may be tempted to blow dry, curl, straighten, perm or color your hair (or, do all of the above), consider the ramifications of overdoing it. The more you process your locks (be it to tweak the color, texture or look of your hair), the worse off you are in terms of overall hair health -- including shine and softness. Scale back on what you do: for example, use heat styling tools every other day (rather than daily), and color treat every three months (rather than every six to eight weeks). Your hair will look so much shinier and have less split ends as a result.

When Skipping a Shampoo, Condition or Dry-Clean
If you don't shampoo, rinse hair with cooler water and condition. Though it won't give you the squeaky-clean feeling that high-foaming detergents in shampoo provide, conditioner does contain emulsifying surfactants and will replenish dry, color-treated strands. And, on the days that you do a wet shampoo, try to cleanse without working up too much of a lather (the less product you can get away with, the better). To prolong your color and make salon touch-ups less frequent, invest in a color-depositing shampoo and conditioner like ones in the Paul Mitchell Color Treated Line.
