Her hairstylist Chris Appleton prepped her hair with the Color Wow Dream Coat serum before she took to the stage at the Super Bowl in Miami a few years ago. If you need any proof that it works, well – wind machines, dancing and numerous hair flips didn’t ruin her look, need we say more?

Apparently Olaplex No 3 Hair Perfector is one of the hair products JLo has on her rider. It's the bomb for reviving dry or over-processed hair. Use once a week for shiny, stronger hair.

Jennifer’s stylist Chris has revealed the product he uses to finish styling on those natural curl days, once the hair is "about 98 per cent dry".
In a YouTube tutorial on how to style perfect curls like Jennifer’s he advised starting with the hair wet, adding the Color Wow Dream Coat mentioned above. Then taking sections of hair and twisting them around the fingers, before using the hair dryer to apply a bit of heat.
His top tip? "When you’re doing curly hair, always make sure you use a diffuser. It gives you much more control." The Color Wow Pop & Lock cream is the finishing touch, to seal the style.

The Dyson Hairdryer may seem like a bit of a splurge, but if it’s good enough for JLo…
Why does it come with the $400+ price tag? Well, it features cutting-edge tech that measures the air temperature 20 times per second to avoid and heat damage to the hair. After drying, to set her style and to get a really dynamic shape, JLo’s stylist puts clips at the roots and blasts the whole head with cool air.
