We’re so loving Gabrielle Union right now! In response to a fan asking how she keeps her hair looking so fab, the stunning actress tweeted a picture of her natural, blown-out tresses — sans weave or extensions — and she revealed some valuable healthy hair tips (compiled from her @itsgabrielleu tweets):

“I wear weaves for my job to protect my own hair from heat and product buildup. I don’t leave weaves in longer than six weeks, and I use quality hair. I haven’t had a relaxer in over ten years! Natural hair is great and weaves can give you plenty of easy options. [Here, my stylist] used a blow dryer and flat iron on low around my edges.

“Healthy hair should be the focus. I swear by It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner ($12.97, amazon.com). I love how it feels on my natural hair and my weaves!”
