On taking care of her blonde hair

“My hair has been my strongest feature since I was very young. It was always the thing that made me feel powerful and I used to joke that I was like Samson because if someone cut my hair off I would lose my magical powers.

I try not to wash it every day, but I usually end up doing it out of convenience. Pantene’s 3 Minute Miracle Repair and Protect Conditioner is my favourite at the moment. It puts back the strength into your hair [and repairs] the damage that has accumulated.

I always put in the Pantene Repair & Protect Dry Oil afterwards and then I try not to dry it, especially in the summer. It just gives it that beachy look, which I like.”
