This $3 Secret Is How Lili Reinhart Keeps Betty’s Hair So Shiny

There are so many reasons to keep living for Riverdale each week. This show is the perfect marriage of juicy teen drama with just enough self-awareness and style to make it this generation’s Twin Peaks. So that’s a good thing going for it. Also incredible? That the show manages to make its heightened reality still feel pretty authentic and true to life, even with Cheryl Blossom walking around in a white silk hospital outfit (like, of course—she would!). But some details, like Betty’s beyond-shiny hair, can’t just be a trick of the camera. And as Lili Reinhart just revealed on her Instagram story, it’s not. Even better: That shine is all thanks to a $3 hair mask.

Reinhart made the most of a sick day by taking fans through her entire skin and hair care routine. Moving beyond the obvious—that this is a woman after our own hearts—it’s an experience that’s as simultaneously fast-paced and intriguing as any episode.

She starts off with a cult classic face mask that sets the bar high: Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Deep Pore Cleansing Mask. Reinhart says that the $10.50 treatment is amazing for cystic acne, and given that she’s gone in depth on the body dysmorphic disorder that her acne has caused her in the past, you know this is a hard-won rec. (It’s also one of the most under-the-radar secrets in the skin care community. The world loves this mask.)

Her other endorsements are just as beloved: She also uses Renee Rouleau’s Smoothing Peel and Detox Mask, Kate Somerville’s face oil, GlamGlow’s moisturizer, Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion, and a custom St. Ives’ body lotion.

Reinhart knows her stuff, but the real clincher comes when she moves onto her hair secrets. According to Reinhart, she reaches for Joico’s K-Pak Color Therapy Luster Lock for an “amazing moisturizing hair treatment.”

In other words, this is the reason Betty’s bouncy blond ponytail always looks so incredible. And clocking in at all of $3, yeah, we’ll give it a whirl. If we can’t have Veronica’s cape, Cheryl’s stilettos, or Jughead’s brooding face, we’ll take Betty’s hair.
