My Mane Method
Our hair care routines are deeply personal.
On a sunny Friday afternoon, Im ushered into a suite at the Baccarat Hotel.

I immediately notice her signature long blonde hair.
It has that sort of effortless wave to it that feels equal parts sophisticated and laid-back.
Contrary to how it appears, Hudson tells me styling her hair has never come easy.
Joico
If I’m not being helped, it’s going up in a bun, she explains.
I love talking about hair because I am one of those people thatneedsproducts.
Those defining qualities are exactly why Hudson was the perfect choice to be Joicos first-ever global celebrity spokesperson.

I have to diffuse it for an hour or blow it out.
It’s a whole process.
About Her Hair
“I havecurly hair.
It has gotten less curly after my second baby, but it still has texture.
Some days, depending on the weather, I’ll get little curly cues.
Half of my head will be straight and frizzy, and then half of it’s curly.
So [on those days], I just gotta lean in.
I’m either gonnadiffuse itand let it be or commit to a style.
That’s why most of the time, you just see my hair in a bun.”
My hair has never been healthier.
Before, I wouldnt wash it for four or five days, Id only get it wet.
Now that Ive been washing my hair every other day, it has become healthier and stronger.
I’ll always put something in [my hair].

Her Main Hair Concern
“[My routine is] all about damage and color control.
Especially when it comes to how I color my hair and what kind of product my stylist is using.
Joico has an amazing color line that is focused on keeping your hair healthy.
It can be really brutal when working with different people [who arent worried about your hair health].
Thats why I love theJoico Defy Damage KBOND20 Power Masque.
One Step She Never Skips
“I always have anintense conditioner, especially when I travel.
If I don’t have one, then that’s problematic [laughs].
You never know what conditioner you’ll get in hotels or gyms.
I always bring something that can weigh [my hair] down.
Usually, when I am traveling, I bring the Sleepover Overnight Nourishing Treatment because its small.”
Her Hair Pet Peeves
“I cant stand it when people back-comb my hair.
Sometimes they have to do it when they’re putting inextensionsor coloring it, but I hate it.
I just think it’s so terrible for your hair.
I have had that happen to me before!”
He told me not to do anything to my hair when I dont have to.
Just be nice and give it a rest when you’ve got the option to.
When its done, you have a nice body to your hair.”
On Her Favorite Hair Style
“Im an Aries, I get bored.
Then it grew out into theshort pixie, and that was my favorite hair Ive ever had.
The problem with that is theres no flexibility.
When it started to grow out, I would slick it back and sometimes put little pins in it.
I just loved it.”
