Meredith Scott Lynn (Anne Milbauer): "I wash my hair maybe every two weeks. Otherwise it gets too dry. I use Neutrogena Daily Conditioner. I bend over and comb through with my fingers. No combs or brushes because that will cause it to frizz. I wrap a towel around it to absorb the water, and then I bend over and I put a ton of the Neutrogena Deep Recovery Mask on it, and it stays in. Then I don't need any additional products. I keep it in, and I blow-dry my hair with a diffuser. On the show, we curl it even more."
Alison Sweeney: "Frederic Fekkai hairspray. It smells so good, but it's light also so it brushes out nicely."
Chrishell Strause (Jordan Ridgeway): "A teasing comb and Kenra hairspray! Big Sexy Hair has a great volumizing hairspray too."
Kristian Alfonso: "MoroccanOil. The scent is intoxicating. I just love it. Their products just really stand up. I literally just pour it on and rake it through with my fingers."
Kate Mansi: "I like dry shampoo. It's a really good in-between product. Bed Head makes a great one. I also love Schwarzkopf's Hair Rescue. It really revitalizes your hair."
The lifestyle routine that really makes a difference:
Melissa Reeves: "Tai Bo! I hate spinning. I get bored, but Tai Bo I've been doing for 15 years, on and off. This year I've ben going two to three times a week. I don't do any weights. We do a lot of push-ups and just using your upper body. You just move your arms for an hour and punch things even if there's nothing to punch."
Kate Mansi: "At breakfast, I always stick to fruit or oatmeal. At lunch, I'll have a wheat tortilla wrap with tuna or something. At night is a really big salad with quinoa or beans or salmon. That, and always being active."
