How to Style Your Hair Lisa Rinna Way
First, alternate washing hair with Chaz Dean’s Wen every other day for a balanced clean. Apply Paul Mitchell mousse to damp hair to create volume and body, essential for a textured look.
Next, color-treat if desired, enhancing dimension and tone suitable for a square face. Work through a dab of either Supremo’s Magic Move or Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Styling Wax for that malleable shape and low maintenance style Rinna is known for.
Before stepping out, set your style with Kerastase’s Double Force Hairspray, securing the vibrant personality of your hair. A quick pass of a flat iron for sleekness, followed by a touch of Moroccan Oil in dry climates, keeps the hair manageable and resilient.
