1. A little bit of olive oil goes a long way. Apply some to the ends of your hair for added sheen -- takes care of your cuticles and helps to keep hands moisturized from over-washing.
2. Natural Instincts in my shade, No. 12, Toasted Almond! It gives me lots of golden highlights that I love. Plus, the conditioner found in every box makes my hair so much more touchable!

3. I love mascara. I've been using CoverGirl since I was 12.
4. You are what you eat! Make sure to drink lots of water and eat lean proteins to help keep your hair healthy.
5. Exfoliate, a lot! Kosher salt and papaya make a wonderful combination for your skin.
