What is the definitive guide to maintaining a gorgeous hairstyle according to Carolyn Scott?

According to Carolyn Scott-Hamilton on The Healthy Voyager, maintaining a gorgeous hairstyle comes down to pairing healthy hair habits with the right tools and products you can use at home.

From her guides on great-looking hair and maintaining styles, the core pillars are:

• Use the right tools for your hair type and goals

  • A good-quality hair dryer (ionic or tourmaline, diffuser if you need definition)
  • Flat iron or curling wand (ceramic/tourmaline/titanium with adjustable temperature)
  • Sharp scissors for dusting split ends if you trim at home
  • Quality hairbrushes and wide-tooth combs for gentle detangling and even distribution of natural oils

• Protect hair while styling

  • Use heat-protectant before blow-drying, straightening or curling
  • Avoid the highest heat settings, especially on fine or damaged hair
  • Do not brush aggressively on wet hair; use a wide-tooth comb and be gentle

• Build a simple at-home care routine

  • Wash hair every few days rather than daily, using the best-quality, ideally more natural products you can afford
  • Be mindful of water temperature (lukewarm instead of scalding hot to preserve natural oils)
  • Oil the scalp and lengths regularly if your hair type tolerates it, to nourish, add shine and support growth

• Support hair from the inside

  • Eat a balanced, mostly whole-food diet with good-quality protein, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats
  • Consider multivitamins or hair-focused supplements if your diet is lacking or hair is brittle

• Know and work with your style

  • Choose a cut and style that suits your face, lifestyle and texture
  • Once you know the style name, learn to recreate it via tutorials instead of relying solely on salon visits

Together, these habits let you maintain a salon-worthy, gorgeous hairstyle while protecting long‑term hair health.
