6 Hair Secrets From Celebrity Hair Stylists

• Use baby powder to combat oil. Many styles look best with “second day” hair that isn't freshly washed. However, these styles can quickly turn from gorgeous to greasy. A quick dash of baby powder can keep the oil under control while still letting you accomplish the style you're longing for. Simply sprinkle it in and brush your hair – instant oil control.
• Stay longer longer. Conventional wisdom told ladies “of a certain age” to get their hair cut short. However, keeping your hair long can help you look younger – just look at Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston. They're well out of their twenties but stay youthful with long hair.
• It's easy to go beachy. One trick celebrity stylists use to get beachy waves is saltwater. If you can't get to the beach, try faking it: a mixture of one part salt to two parts water with a healthy dash of deep conditioner will give your hair great texture, making it easy to accomplish a summer-ready beach look.
• Cover up those roots. Ken Paves, stylist to Christinia Applegate and Kim Cattrall, suggests using eyeshadow to hide your roots. Gold works best for faux-blondes, while various shades of brown work to cover blonde roots. Don't spend tons of money on hair powder when you have the tools you need right in your makeup kit!
• Diet for your hair? Omega-3 fatty acids work wonders for your health – and your hair. It helps your scalp stay healthy, resulting in shinier, healthier hair.
• Your hair needs moisture, too! Celebrity hair stylists swear by deep conditioning treatments to keep your hair smooth and free from breakage. Use a treatment 1 – 2 times a month to keep your hair looking amazing.
