Years of on-stage experience means that Dancing with the Stars pro Jenna Johnson has gathered tons of helpful hair hacks from top hairstylists. But that also means her hair regularly goes through a lot, which is why Jenna takes her haircare routine very seriously.
"I'm doing everything that I can in my in my daily routine to protect my hair, because it does have to get styled so much," she explains.
"The kinder I can be to my hair, the better. So I do try to do whatever I can." That means she avoids overstyling her tresses and stays away from high heat. "It really does damage my hair because it is so fine."
Motherhood also affected her hair health. "My hair did break a lot postpartum. And so I went on this like big health care kick where I was doing like rosemary oil, castor oil, and masks on my hair."

A rosemary hair oil was just one of the many products Jenna used to strengthen her strands. You can't go wrong with this OG pick that took over TikTok. With over 122,000 5-star ratings, reviewers say it promotes longer, stronger hair.

Jenna admits that her hair type has always made it difficult for her to achieve a perfect blowout. "I've always been devastated I can never get that beautiful blowout look because A, I don't know how to round brush my own hair. And B, I have extremely flat, straight hair," she explains.
But Jenna has found the secret to transforming hair from flat and fine to big and bouncy—it's the Revlon VersaStyler.
"With just one tool, I can dry, volumize, and style my hair in minutes with less heat damage," she says."This product has been convenient and easy for me to use and to get that voluminous blowout look."

This under-$100 hair tool has a blow dry mode for wet-to-dry styling, a volumizing setting for adding lift, and a thermal barrel mode that shapes and smooths hair while minimizing frizz. It's Jenna's secret to transforming her from hair from flat and fine to big and bouncy.
If you've ever wondered how Jenna's hair stands up to flipping, twirling, and dipping, she shared her professional hack for achieving ballroom-level hair that won't move.
To start, she suggests spritzing hair with a non-aerosol hairspray (yes, there is more than one type of hairspray). Then you slick it back into postion, go "in with aerosol hairspray, and then you blow dry it."
"First of all, you'll have shine like you've never had before," she raves. "And it's going to be rock solid and stay in place."

It's not just her hair that has to stay in place when she's performing, it's her makeup, too. Luckily, a pro makeup artist gave Jenna a fool-proof hack and she shared it with us.
"I had a makeup artist recently tell me to mix setting spray with your foundation before you apply it on your face. And that tip and trick kind of changed my life. And so I started doing that, especially for showtime."

"Because I have to wear such heavy hair and makeup in my work life, I've really subtracted how much I do in my everyday life," Jenna admits.
