"Condition more often than you shampoo"
If you've ever heard anyone say you shouldn't condition as much as you shampoo, do not listen: That is wrong information. "Condition hair more often than you shampoo because conditioner is what gives hair texture, moisture, and shine," says Arrojo. "Conditioner not only makes your hair look and feel softer and smoother, it also calms your hair down, making it easier to shape and style." You could try Arrojo Gentle Conditioner, $55.

"Don't underestimate dry shampoo"
"One of the best product innovations for years, dry shampoo is great for the modern girl about town," says Arrojo. "It means you can wet shampoo less, and good dry shampoos also have styling and texturizing benefits. I work with mine all the time."

"Get a regular trim"
"The ends of your hair are the oldest part of the hair shaft, and as such they are more prone to breakage, dryness and frizz. Get a trim every 6-8 weeks to cut off the dead ends and maintain your most lustrous locks," says Arrojo.

"Don't use too much heat"
Heat styling can be great when you want to create your look in a hurry, but excessive use of hot irons, etc can cause dryness and damage, which in turn makes your hair more difficult to manage, according to Arrojo. "If you do heat style, make sure to use a good thermal protector."

"Hydrate!"
"I recommend doing a hydrating hair mask once a week. I personally love to cocktail Melt Into Moisture, $36, and Heaven In Hair, $28, together for a super hydrating mask," says Candace Witherspoon, Devachan stylist and educator. Witherspoon also emphasizes the importance of going for regular cuts.
