Your hair's length, the amount of chemical processing it endures and the frequency with which you use hot styling tools are all factors to consider in your conditioning regimen.

"What if the red carpet was all about the hair you were wearing rather than the gown?" That's a fantasy that Steve Lococo, co-owner of B2V Salon in West Hollywood, recently presented to his team of stylists.
"Let fashion follow the hair," he said, "rather than the other way around." Their challenge: to create looks for some recent Best Actress Academy Award nominees.
In this alternate hair-centric red carpet, Viola Davis sported gorgeous marcel waves, Meryl Streep wore a '60s-style sky-high updo adorned with a diamond headband, and a newly redheaded Rooney Mara rocked a chignon with a roughed-up finish.
What the styles had in common, says Lococo, was that hair itself was treated like fabric. The silhouettes "were still smooth and elegant, but they had a texture that made them like a garment," says Lococo.
That, in turn, meant a glamorous look could be pulled together with minimal jewelry and a very simple dress.
Here are Lococo's three top tips on how to create red-carpet hair texture:
1. Think in sections.
"Don't work with all of your hair at once," says Lococo. Instead, blow-dry your hair in sections, curl and then pin, before moving on to the next area.
2. Give hair a good foundation.
"Use a volumizing spray, working hair spray or dry shampoo," says Lococo. "That way, your hair is like a well-ironed shirt; you've got control over how it hangs."
3. For perfect updo hair, start with day-old hair.
"If your hair is too clean, it's more likely to collapse, forcing you to overload it with styling products and spray," says Lococo.
