The star and businesswoman maintains her warm honey color with a three-step routine. Every night, Jessica washes her hair and dries it with a cotton towel. Next she applies conditioner to the ends to eliminate frizz, and the next morning she applies a spritzing of sea salt spray, according to Byrdie.

Lupita Nyong’o

Lupita's gorgeous natural hair is as famous as she is, and she swears by keeping her hair moisturized. "One thing I’ve learned was the acronym LOC, and that’s basically the rule for how to treat my hair: liquid, oil, and then cream,” she told Allure. “It’s the idea that you wet your hair first, then you add oil so that it can trap the moisture in, then you put a moisturizer or a cream over it." When the Oscar-winner wears braids or locs, she loves to use her hairstylist Vernon François’ Scalp Nourishment Braids and Locs Spray. “My hair type drinks it up,” she said.

Shakira rarely ventures away from her signature look, and it's obvious why! Her luscious curly blond mane ensures she is the center of attention wherever she goes. To enhance her natural curls she uses hair clips while her hair is wet and then creating wispy curls in her dried hair with a curling iron.

La La told Into The Gloss that she tries to wash her hair once a week and swears by Kim Kimble products, especially the Kim Kimble Silk Treatment Shampoo and Conditioner, as well as Mizani products and Oribe’s Moisture Surge Mask, which she leaves on for a couple of hours. While she wears wigs and extensions, she added: “I like playing around with my real hair. The Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is my favorite for that.”

What's the secret behind this Puerto Rican princess's ability to dazzle every single day of the week? The Texture Thermal Styling Spray from WEN Products, according to what she said in Feeling the Vibe. This product deeply penetrates fibers, giving hair all the shine, silkiness, and manageability that Roselyn Sanchez needs on set.

Another must if you want healthy hair –that all these stars follow to the letter– is having a balanced diet that nourishes your beauty from the inside out.

As one of the new faces on the big screen, this Mexican star knows better than anyone that the hair is the perfect way to frame an expressive look. Eiza Gonzalez switches effortlessly between long and straight cuts and modern bob cuts with lots of movement or very short styles. She told W magazine a perfect hair day is a cinch when she uses Olaplex products.

Few women ever get to become a Victoria's Secret angel, and Adriana Lima was one for more than two decades! The Brazilian model alternates between wet looks, straight blow dries, and glamorous waves. She told Byrdie: “For my hair, the secret is to work out—that will grow the hair because it will activate the circulation. The more I work out, the faster it grows! I also love oils—coconut oil, and almond oil, but only from Brazil. It’s the only place I find it.”
