“MILLION-DOLLAR SHINE”
The glossiest strands come from both within (via a nutrient-rich diet) and without (courtesy of conditioners and shine sprays). Stylists are so particular about a model’s hair health that they will often send her product care packages a week before the shoot. For what Paves calls “million-dollar shine,” he suggests models wash their hair the night before and then let it air-dry. “Hair is much stronger when it’s naturally dried; plus, your scalp’s own oils are better than any product.” Generally, all Paves does the day of the shoot is smooth hair with a brush or curling iron. “When you dry hair with heat, the cuticles open, causing brittle-looking shadows on the hair shaft that prevent hair from looking shiny and bright,” he explains. Instead of hairspray, he uses Kerastase Lait Nutri-Sculpt to hold hair in place. “It seals the little flyaways, but your hair won’t get stiff.”
PRO TOOLS
“Instead of doing color or gloss treatments before a shoot, we usually get by with just conditioning,” says Mancuso. To return hair to what he calls its “virginlike state,” he favors Nexxus Emergencee treatment.
