Joanna Gaines’ Natural Hair Looks Completely Different from Her TV Appearance

Joanna Gaines’ flawless hair is a process

As an icon of the home-improvement and living space, rather than the fashion or beauty industries, Joanna Gaines rarely lets us into her hair and beauty routine. But back in 2021, the businesswoman shared another picture of her un-styled hair to her Instagram Stories, along with some details about what it takes to whip her tresses into camera-ready shape. “It takes about 1.5 hours to tame this mane,” she wrote on the photo (via Prevention). “And since it’s a reveal day, I’m going to fix ‘er up.” In the photo, her voluminous hair looked similar to her September 2023 post, leaning more toward frizzy than sleek — something many of us know all too well. 

If your hair is similarly hard to tame, it’s worth learning how to style it according to your frizz type. Frizzy ends, for example, can be dealt with by going in for regular trims, while if you have frizz all over your head, it could be due to dryness that can be addressed with a change in products. While we’re not sure what Gaines’ drying technique is, we know that folks with certain hair types may want to avoid air-drying their locks. Thick hair like hers should be dried quickly to avoid damage, which can then lead to split ends, tangles, and overall dryness, increasing the chance of frizziness. But since Gaines’ hair looks amazing the majority of the time, we’d wager she doesn’t need any haircare tips. Everyone’s entitled to a bad hair day!
