We might be Tika Sumpter’s biggest fans, ever! From “One Life to Live” to “Gossip Girl,” this stunning Bronx native is an incredible actress — but she also has the sleekest, chicest blowout ever. When she stopped by the ESSENCE.com Live Stage, we had to ask her to spill her strand secrets:

“I’m obsessed with Pantene Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner,” she revealed. “It leaves my hair light, fluffy and swingy. Even when I flatiron it, it’s not a stick-straight — it moves! The shampoo and conditioner work so well for me, I don’t use any products after that.” We totally co-sign — you can’t go wrong with Pantene!
