Selena Gomez: The Secret to Looking Good Is Confidence 

. "I\'ve used Pantene my whole life," she says. "When I think about my mom growing up or my grandmother, I picture the Pantene hairspray in the bathroom back in Texas. My mom was a hair stylist, so she was constantly styling her hair or she would do my hair for picture day. It was something that was a very sweet bonding moment so I kind of feel like it\'s surreal, being the new Pantene ambassador."

But, she says, having commercial-grade hair isn\'t just about nailing the quintessential shampoo ad hair flip: "Keeping my hair healthy is the most important for Pantene-worthy hair," she says. "Use conditioner every day. I start from the root because it allows my hair to feel strong and moisturized from the root to the ends. It feels soft, which I love…it\'s the best feeling getting out of the shower and feeling your hair after conditioning."

Her final tip for looking the part? Feeling it, too—which is something we\'ve seen her really own this year, particularly after she expertly side-stepped some nasty commentary recently about her gorgeous curves. "It\'s about being strong, which means being comfortable with who I am," she says. "I think women, especially my age, can relate. You\'re figuring out who you are and there are so many different levels of emotions that you go through. The best is when you feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable with yourself." Hear, hear.
