Oprah's hair has always been a source of pride. “She takes such great care of it and has a beautiful mane of super thick, long hair,” says Nicole Mangrum, who has been Oprah's hairstylist for the past seven years. “And it's my job to protect it.”
Mangrum adds that a big part of having great hair is using quality products, and says she swears by Kérastase Discipline Bain Fluidealiste Smooth-in-motion Shampoo for Oprah's weekly wash and uses Kérastase Discipline Smoothing Conditioner bi-weekly between deep conditioning treatments.
Over the years, he has created some of her iconic styles. He knew she planned to go natural years before she grew out her relaxer. “As long as I've known Oprah, she'd always said 'When I turn 50, I'm cutting my relaxer off and going natural,'” Walker says.

Oprah Winfrey once wore a Tina Tuner wig "at all times," until partner Stedman Graham told her to stop. Winfrey wore the wig during the late 1990s, when she followed Turner on her Wildest Dreams Tour. Turner died "peacefully" on Wednesday, her family confirmed in a statement. She was 83.
Mangrum attributes a lot of Oprah's healthy hair to getting a trim every 10 to 12 weeks, eating nourishing foods, and conditioning often.

Yes, really. Apparently, Roberts has spoken previously about her obsession with olive oil, and reveals how she creates an emulsified mixture of extra-virgin olive oil with a little warm water and leaving it on her hair as a DIY mask for around half an hour. And it doesn't even stop there.
And this is how she hides it.
Adele once told Glamour Magazine, "I only wash it with water. Last night I washed my hair with shampoo for the first time in two months."
But Jen went on to clarify the circumstances when daily washing is on the cards, and it's largely to do with her job. When asked; "How often do you wash your hair?" She answered; "If I'm working, every day. If I'm not working I try to, you know, every three days."
