TAMING THOSE TRESSES

Summer hair care Tips from Herbal Essences stylist Charles Baker Strahan

“Start from what happens naturally when styling and watch what your hair does. It’s easier to celebrate your natural hair than it is to make it what it’s not,” is Herbal Essences celebrity stylist Charles Baker Strahan’s number one tip. Having worked with Herbal Essences celebrity ambassador, and our favourite Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester, Strahan knows how to keep hair healthy. “The best way to maintain the healthy look of your hair is with moisture,” he tells FRM, citing the reformulated shampoo and conditioner collections from Herbal Essences, with water-activated silkening technology, as one of his new favourites.

When choosing the right products, Strahan suggests looking at the density of the hair, “The thicker the cuticle, the more moisture you need,” he states. “If you have coloured hair, it’s important to keep that in mind when choosing the right product. Lightened or bleached hair typically requires more moisture than darker or untreated hair.” Try: Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth and None Of Your Frizzness Shampoo and Conditioner lines. Here’s to hoping our hair looking as healthy as Leighton’s!
