SILKY HAIR VI
SECRET mf?
The latest way to gloss up your hair
(and spak up compliments!): dry
conditioner. It spritzes on clear and
doesn't leave any greasy residue.
"I use it on dry hair to renew
shine and softness between
washes, or as a finishing
spray," says celeb hairstylist
Jenny Cho, whose clients
include Amanda Seyfried
and Claire Danes. Because
it's super light, dry
conditioner won't weigh
down fine hair like other
stylers can. Hold about eight
inches away from your head
and spray from mid-strand
down (to avoid flattening
roots), then tousle to
distribute evenly. If your hair
still looks dull, says Cho, "it's
thirsty for another coat!"

damaging skin," says Joshua Zeichner,

research in the department of
dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital
in New York City. Your pop plan:
