Six great tips to keep your hair looking fresh—even after you step out of the salon.

 

1. Dream in silk. Sleep on a silk pillowcase, which minimizes rubbing and prevents frizz. Or you can wrap your hair in a silk scarf instead.

 

2. Prevent the dent. Heading to the gym? Keep your hair out of your face with a clip or barrette instead of a rubber band, which can leave an indentation when you take it out.
