To have the happiest, healthiest holiday hair ever, take a few cues from the head of a mindful visionary.

Wave Theory

“Using heat to style during the holiday season can take a toll on hair’s health. As much as I enjoy a blowout, there’s a movement in hair care toward a more natural, effortless-looking air dry. Using The Clips ($54, crownaffair.com), which are handmade in France from plantbased cellulose acetate, I twist my hair and clip it to achieve heatless waves with no creases.”

Guest of Honor

“Always show up with a little surprise. In addition to a bottle of something (Ghia is a nonalcoholic favorite), I add on a three-pack of our 100% silk Scrunchie No. 001 ($15, sephora. com) as an unexpected delight for the host. Consider it a gentle hug for your wrist and strands. And I’m in love with the paper goods from Written Ceremony (from $40, writtenceremony.com). From the notecards to the table name cards, their traditional yet playful approach is spot on for holiday thank yous and hosting.”

Power Puff

“If wash day is a few days away, I reach for The Dry Shampoo ($36, sephora.com), apply it mindfully with a kabuki brush and finish the look with the Czarina Headband ($450, jenniferbehr.com). There’s nothing quite like a headband to make you feel more pulled together and polished for the holidays, and this one from Jennifer Behr in Crown Affair green is magical.”

Detox Detour

“I do gua sha on my face with the incredible Pause Fascia Stimulating Tool ($115, pausewellaging.com) and lymphatic drainage on my body with The Body Tool from De la Heart ($39, delaheart.com). Both aid in moving toxins out naturally."

Rest Stop

“In the midst of the holiday season, it’s important to slow down and take time to nurture yourself. Every Sunday evening, I have a ritual when I draw a bath. I love using Maude Soak No. 1 Salts ($18, getmaude. com) plus the Maude Burn No.1 Massage Candle ($22, getmaude.com). I apply The Renewal Mask ($58, sephora.com) as a super hydrating, deepconditioning mask to repair and renew dry hair. I put on a favorite playlist (Crown Affair’s For

Your Air Dry on Spotify) and I’m in my own little universe for an hour.”
