"  Volume: Can Ya Give Me a Lift?  When the subject is hair, fat equals happy. &amp;quot;The quest for volume starts with the right products,&amp;quot; says Steven Dillon of New York&amp;#039;s Pierre Michel Salon. First, he advises, find a volumizing shampoo that also removes buildup (which weighs hair down). Next, apply a bite-size bit of thickening mousse or spray to plump up hair cuticles and give your style hold and height. Vavoom celebrity stylist Mark Townsend (who rules the big-bodied waves of Pen\u00E9lope Cruz) believes it&amp;#039;s all about the blowdry, &amp;quot;since so many styling products are heat-activated.&amp;quot; Flip your hair over and dry the undersides of your strands. Then flip up and finish styling with a big round brush. We&amp;#039;ve also seen stylists at many photo shoots cheat a little by throwing in a few Velcro rollers while the model&amp;#039;s hair is still warm from blowdrying \u2014 works wonders. If you&amp;#039;re still volume-challenged, Dillon thinks your haircut may be to blame. &amp;quot;Consider something chopped at the collarbone or above, with layers longer in front,&amp;quot; he advises. &amp;quot;This look never falls flat.&amp;quot;  Health: The Well-Fed Head  Since survival is about adapting to the environment, by now, hair should be extinct. For while we embrace 21st-century techniques \u2014 coloring, perming, and heat-styling \u2014 the strand itself hasn&amp;#039;t evolved (it&amp;#039;s still the fragile fiber it&amp;#039;s always been). Unless we protect it from modern processing, it will perish \u2014 or at least look like death. &amp;quot;The secret to healthy hair is feeding the follicles,&amp;quot; explains celebrity stylist Oscar Blandi (who has coiffed Tom, Katie, and Suri!). Use a protein-rich shampoo every other day, he suggests, to avoid depriving strands of the scalp&amp;#039;s natural oils. The protein will also increase hair&amp;#039;s elasticity, adds Trevor Attenborough of Nioxin, &amp;quot;so it&amp;#039;s better equipped to withstand the elements.&amp;quot; Once a month, indulge in an exfoliating scalp treatment to encourage healthy hair growth \u2014 and, daily, eat foods (or take a supplement) rich in zinc (fish and nuts), vitamin C (citrus), and iron (spinach) to build strength.  Shine: The Gleam Machine  Want shiny movie-star hair? Think like a Hollywood lighting director and create a light-reflecting surface \u2014 which is exactly what the outer layer of hair is when &amp;quot;flattened.&amp;quot; (It&amp;#039;s no coincidence shampoo-commercial hair is typically pin-straight.) Says Edward Tricomi of the Warren-Tricomi Salon, &amp;quot;Naturally, start with a shine-enhancing shampoo, but then be sure to rinse with cold water \u2014 as cold causes everything to constrict.&amp;quot; Also, blot hair dry with a towel, as rubbing will &amp;quot;rough up&amp;quot; the strands. Natural-bristle brushes work best at distributing the scalp&amp;#039;s oil throughout the hair. Some great luxury home remedies include sleeping on silk pillowcases and &amp;quot;polishing&amp;quot; your hair root-to-tip with a silk scarf.  Color: Hues Clues  Asking your colorist to read your mind when it comes to color is a losing game. Michael Murphy of New York&amp;#039;s NAO Salon &amp;amp;amp; Spa urges clients to bring in photos. &amp;quot;Even to show us colors you don&amp;#039;t want,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;People define &amp;#039;gold&amp;#039; differently: Are you talking Meg Ryan&amp;#039;s or Ivanka Trump&amp;#039;s?&amp;quot; Of course, with so many variations of blonde, brown, and red available, how&amp;#039;s a girl to choose? Andrew Bartfield, VP of education at L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Professionnel, says opt for a shade that brings out your eye color rather than your complexion. &amp;quot;Eyes don&amp;#039;t change with the seasons, like skin tone often does.&amp;quot; Then, to keep the hue, use color-enhancing shampoos and conditioners (but limit to three times a week) \u2014 and never rinse with very hot water as it may loosen pigment molecules from freshly colored hair.
