If you’re sick of complaining about Winter’s harsh weather and the polar vortex, I’m right there with you. Time to get proactive. When my long, Leighton Meester-like locks — which tend to get oily at the roots but dry at the ends — felt coarser than normal, I invested in a wonder-working deep conditioner. Oribe Intense Conditioner For Moisture and Control [1] ($48) has become part of my shower regime biweekly. After I shampoo, I coat my hair with the formula and let it sit while I exfoliate, shave my legs, and wash my face. The powerful potion contains watermelon, lychee, and edelweiss flower extract to keep strands youthful; shea butter and olive oil to give them moisture; plum seed oil to add shine; and rice protein to strengthen hair fibers. After I rinse it out and go to blow-dry, I find my curls smoother and less frizzy. My comb easily slides through my knot-free strands. Who needs a pricey salon treatment when you can do one at home?
