Says Chanel Iman: “During fashion week, your hair can be curled, straightened, then curled again up to four times a day.” So how do they keep their hair from falling out of their heads? After the jump, five supermodel go-to tricks …
- Chanel Iman’s deep conditioning trick: “You put it [your deep conditioner] in your hair and put a shower cap over it, then you funnel warm air from your blow-dryer into the cap. It really stimulates your hair and roots.”
- Admits Brazilian beauty Ana Beatriz Barros (whose natural color is dark blond, FYI): “I once had to completely bleach my hair, and it was so ugly, I took silica vitamins to make my hair stronger … “
- California native Lindsay Ellingson goes without: “I never, ever blow-dry my hair, unless I’m working. I use Paul Mitchell leave-in conditioner, which is really great. I also try not to shampoo every day. It can feel gross, but it really does help.”
