How to Repair Damaged Hair — with Crown Affair Founder Dianna Cohen

This week Molly and Emese sit down with Crown Affair founder Dianna Cohen to talk all things hair—because let’s be honest, it’s one of the questions they get asked about most. From breakage and frizz to dry shampoo and scalp health, Dianna shares the science, ritual, and philosophy behind truly healthy hair. She opens up about how her early career at Into the Gloss shaped her love of beauty, what led her to launch Crown Affair in 2020, and why she believes great hair starts with small daily habits.

Together, they unpack the myths around sulfates, over-washing, and dry shampoo, dive into the art of air-drying without frizz, and reveal why brushing might just be the most underrated beauty ritual of all. Dianna also gives her take on hair oils, towel-drying, and how to care for your hair in different climates—Miami humidity, New York winters, and L.A. dryness included.

It’s equal parts education and inspiration, full of practical tips you can start using tonight. If you’ve ever wondered how to get shinier, stronger, healthier hair (without overcomplicating it), this episode is for you.
