Top 20 Secrets

Original article
1. Cool Your Conditioner "Leave conditioner in the fridge to keep it cool. This way, it will instantly seal the cuticles because it's already at a low temperature." -- celebrity hairstylist Tippi Shorter
2. Apply Product Strategically "Where you should apply product depends on texture. For fine hair, concentrate volumizers near the root for body and lift. For other textures, don't start at the top of your head or with your bangs because too much styling or smoothing product there will weigh down your hair." -- celebrity hairstylist Kiyah Wright
3. Rinse, Then Rinse Again "The key to a sleek, shiny finish is a thorough cleansing. Take the time to rinse well-- leftover oils, dirt and products make hair look dull and lifeless. A clean canvas ensures a great style." -- celebrity hairstylist David Babaii
4. Plump Up Fine Hair "Mousse is great for adding volume to fine hair. Apply it only to the roots-- to avoid making hair appear stringy-- then hold hair vertically and blast with heat to seal in volume." -- celebrity hairstylist Richard Marin
5. Fix Flyaways "Spritz holding spray onto a natural-bristle eyebrow brush. Use it to lock unruly hairs into place around your part, hairline and above the ears." -- celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend
6. Butter Up Brittle Strands To moisturize dry hair, apply organic almond butter to the parched areas. Let the butter soak in for 30 minutes, then shampoo and rinse well. -- David Babaii
7. Dry Curls Like a Pro "Blow-drying curly hair can be tricky. The key is to keep your blow-dryer on the lowest setting and direct the air downward to prevent frizz. Want more definition? Once it's completely dry, set your hair in large heated rollers, tucking the hair under and rolling up instead of outward. Leave the rollers in for 20 minutes and then run your fingers through your hair to create loose, flowing curls." -- celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai
8. Beat the Bends Hold loose strands back while applying your makeup with a duckbill clip. Place a folded tissue (or a business card) between your hair and the clip to prevent creases. -- Tippi Shorter
9. Updating Your Hair Color? Update Your Lipstick Kiyah Wright suggests switching your lip color so the new shades work together. Here are her perfect pairings:
Blond: Blond hair looks great with pastel pink lip hues, as well as rich tomato-y reds.
Redhead: Red is a bold hair color, so use rosy lipsticks and lip stains that match your natural lip color.
Brunette: Plum, nude and sheer lip tones all work best with dark hair.
