Bye-bye, breakage; see ya, flyaway strands; so long, dull and lackluster hair. How do models and celebrities keep their hair looking so gorgeous? We went straight to the source: pro hairstylists, like Doug DiCiano, Marc Marcell, Danilo, Hallie Bowman and Mark Townsend as well as models from coast to coast. The result: 12 fabulous, fresh and easy-to-follow laws for getting and maintaining healthy, soft, shiny and strong hair.

According to celebrity hairstylist, Marc Townsend (who treats the strands of A-list leading ladies like Natalie Portman and January Jones), mixing a silicone-based shine serum with deep conditioner the night before a big event will leave strands shiny and healthy -- just like that. Simply mix the duo together and apply; leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse out thoroughly. Voila -- shine!

Although you may be tempted to blow dry, curl, straighten, perm or color your hair (or, do all of the above), consider the ramifications of overdoing it. The more you process your locks (be it to tweak the color, texture or look of your hair), the worse off you are in terms of overall hair health -- including shine and softness. Scale back on what you do: for example, use heat styling tools every other day (rather than daily), and color treat every three months (rather than every six to eight weeks). Your hair will look so much shinier and have less split ends as a result, says actress and model Natalie Dickinson (you may have seen her on episodes of "Prison Break").

Hair that's dry -- whether from daily wear and tear, environmental factors (like wind and freezing temps), over-processing or simple styling -- demands a deep-penetrating conditioning treatment (aka: a hair mask) at least once a week. Pantene celebrity stylist, Hallie Bowman, suggests using a product like Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask, $5, which is highly moisturizing, but won't make hair feel heavy.

You likely know that scalding hot water is a no-no in the shower; it robs skin of vital moisturizing agents, making chaffing and chapping more likely. Guess what? The same methodology applies to your hair, as the skin on your head (scalp) is a key player in maintaining the health of your locks. So, when you're washing up, stick to warm or room temperature water when possible, and rinse out conditioner with cooler water to lock in the hydrating, conditioning benefits, advises Dallas-based stylist Marc Marcell.
