Why Crown Affair Founder Dianna Cohen's Self-Care Starts with Hair

Dianna's Hair Care Tips for The Days In Between Wash Day

1. Detangle throughout the day using The Comb No. 001. It’s normal to lose 50-100 strands a day, being mindful of tangles helps with shedding. 
2. Refresh your scalp with The Dry Shampoo. Ditch the aerosols, this is a silky, volumizing, nourishing dry shampoo that leaves your hair feeling actually fresh and not gritty at all. It’s so light and fluffy, we love the kabuki brush application and it’s tiny enough to travel with. It’s a game-changing powder based dry shampoo that’s talc-free and nourishing to your scalp.
3. If dry hair needs a refresh: Use The Leave-In Conditioner to hydrate and enhance your natural texture. Apply a small amount to the mid-length and ends of your hair. It won’t leave clumps or weigh your hair down. The pump application (vs a spray) is intentional so you can control the application/dosage. 
4. Brush in the evening. I know it feels counterintuitive to brush because it separates the hair fiber and breaks the ‘texture’, but there are dozens of benefits of brushing your hair in the evening before bed. I promise the texture and fiber will settle back in overnight. Brushing your hair is a trial and error process, find out when it’s best for you but consistent brushing will help with hair growth and health over time. 
5. Hydrating my scalp. Before bed, I apply a few spritzes of The Calming Scalp Serum to any spots on my scalp that feel dry, itchy, or need a little more love. I love how soothing it feels immediately and it doesn’t need to be washed out like other scalp serums. 

First beauty memory: Growing up in South Florida, my mom combing my hair after getting out of the pool. 

Three desert island skincare staples: A great Moisturizer, Sunscreen , Ritual Oil + Gua Sha Tool.

Best beauty lesson: Consistency is everything. It’s all about rituals, not miracles.

Most underrated beauty tip or tool: A high-quality hair brush. You should be brushing your hair every evening to move the healthy oils from your scalp to your strand.

You feel your most beautiful when: I always feel the most glowy and beautiful after getting a facial.

Recipe you can’t stop cooking: I have made my husband and I the same salad everyday for the past 5 years. We call it the bub salad named after each other. It has arugula, sprouts, celery, radish, avocado, cucumber, a soft boiled egg, cheese of your choice, lemon, and chili crunch.
