As someone with curly hair, Kelly has experienced plenty of trial and error with lots of different hair tools and products. "The one thing that's stayed consistent is this Hairizone Universal Hair Diffuser ($25)." Her favorite part of this particular diffuser is that it attaches to any blow dryer, so when she's on the road or in different hotels using different kinds of dryers, this diffuser will work.
As a kid, she struggled because everyone at her school had straight hair, but when she tried straightening, her hair "wouldn't cooperate." With the help of both her parents, but especially her mom, she learned about diffusing and caring for her unique curls, and as an adult, she wrote the story she wished she had as a kid, "The Curly Girl Blues." "We all struggle with different things and how to work through different insecurities, but I've embraced what makes me unique and learned how to love them. We all have our own beauty," Kelly says.
Pro tip: Her hair-care routine consists of washing and conditioning, using a gel or cream product, then wrapping her hair in a microfiber towel and leaving it for about 10 to 15 minutes. After that, it gets diffused until it's really dry.
