From the Expert
We caught up with celebrity stylist Ursula Stephen for Dove at a-frameagency.com, who has styled for major events from the Met Gala and New York Fashion Week to top stars for national television and media appearances. Going into fall, Stephen shared a few tips to help keep the glow going from our roots to tips.
“During the colder temperatures, it’s important that Black women prioritize protection and moisture in the hair because the harsh cold air can make your hair extremely dry, accelerating frizz and breakage,” said Stephen. “A solid hair care routine with emphasis on moisture to survive the harsh temperatures must be followed. Protective hairstyles can be really helpful during the cooler months and incorporating deep conditioners and masks can help to retain that moisture the hair badly needs as well.”
So what does Stephen recommend using? The Dove Hair Therapy Hydration Spa Collection. “It includes a hydrating shampoo and conditioner with hyaluronic serum, which is a popular skincare ingredient known for its hydrating and moisturizing properties. The hyaluronic serum creates a barrier around each strand of hair for 24 hours of moisture lock, leaving the hair soft, nourished and protected from breakage.”
