If you’ve ever eyed a celeb and wondered if maybe they’re just genetically blessed when it comes to flawless hair, glowing skin, and strong nails, here’s a little secret: even stars need a few pro tricks in their arsenal. Celebrity stylist and Britt Lower’s husband Kenna Kennor has seen it all behind the scenes, and he knows good looks start with health, not just highlighter.
Ready to step up your game? Kenna’s tips aren’t just for red carpet regulars—they’re for anyone who wants to look and feel better, starting right at home.
Eat, Drink, Glow
You can’t out-style a bad diet. If your meals are nothing but takeout and coffee, your hair, skin, and nails are the first to rat you out. He tells clients—loudly—to eat more protein (think fish, eggs, beans), add some healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil), and get your daily color with fruits and veggies. Hydration is a must. Aim for half your body weight in ounces a day and watch your skin plump up, your nails stop peeling, and hair grow with actual shine.
Care From the Outside-In
Product overload is a thing. Kenna warns that harsh shampoos, detergents, or even face washes can strip delicate hair and skin. For hair, go sulfate-free and use a moisturizing conditioner every wash. Kenna loves a weekly leave-in mask—especially in dry environments or if you use heat tools.
For skin? Gentle, not scouring. Cleanse with a soft touch and layer in a solid moisturizer packed with ceramides or hyaluronic acid. Sunscreen is non-negotiable—even if your closest brush with the sun is your kitchen window.
Nails need love, too. Kenna’s quick fix: rub a dab of hair oil or cuticle balm across your nail beds every night. It takes thirty seconds and makes a huge difference by morning.
Don’t Skip Regular TLC
Trimming split ends or overgrown cuticles isn’t glamorous, but skipping the basics leaves you looking worn out fast. Kenna’s regulars visit for tiny trims every 8–10 weeks to keep hair strong and free of old damage. Same goes for a little at-home manicure every week. Push back cuticles, moisturize, and file gently.
Hands Off!
Picking at your skin or biting nails might be mindless, but your skin, scalp, and nails will look so much healthier when you resist the urge. The less irritation and trauma, the better they heal and grow.
Rest, Move, Repeat
Beauty sleep is a running joke, but Kenna is serious about it. Your whole body—especially hair, skin, and nails—rebuilds at night. Give yourself some downtime, swap social scrolling for a quick walk, and get blood circulating. Better circulation means more nutrients at the roots and more glow at the surface.
Ask Experts for Help If You Need It
Stubborn dandruff, breakouts, or brittle nails aren’t something to suffer through. Kenna connects his celebrity clients with pros who know when to step in. Don’t ignore problems that don’t get better with basics—sometimes you need a dermatologist, not just a new conditioner.
Bottom line: Celebrity beauty isn’t magic. With Kenna Kennor’s TLC, some smart habits, and a little patience, your hair, skin, and nails can all level up—no entourage or special lighting required.
