Kelsea Balleriniloves the glam (and glitter) that comes with being onstage. But when she’s off duty, the award-winning singer-songwriter and Pantene’s new Healthy Hair Ambassador, 30, is all about comfort. “I’m most creative when I’m not thinking about anything other than the story I’m trying to tell. So you’ll catch me in sweats, my hair slicked back with a deep conditioner,” she says. She’s also working toward feeling “good and confident as is,” she says. “I’m growing and focusing more inward.”Ballerini—who just celebrated a year with her boyfriend, actorChase Stokes, after finalizing her divorce from singer Morgan Evans—calls the last 18 months her “healing era”and says she’s been “taking care of myself in every way,” including therapy and working out.For her, living authentically is a must. “I was so impressionable when I was a kid,” she says. “I think about a 12-year-old who is following me now, and I don’t want to have a dishonest relationship with that person whether I’m songwriting about my life or sharing what I stand for.”

01of 10How Kelsea Got Her Groove BackKelsea Ballerini.Courtesty of PanteneThe self-proclaimed “girly girl” has been giving her hair some TLC after months of coloring and constant heat-styling while on tour. She began using Pantene products (see her faves below) and the improvement has been visible. Another perk of being off tour? Wearing glitter over the holidays, she says. Not that being on stage ever stopped her from shining. “I love glitter. Don’t get it twisted!”
