This Drag-Queen-Approved Line Styles and Treats Your Hair at the Same Time
You’ll get pretty much the best hair you’ve ever had.

A good-hair day is a total game-changer. Just ask Priyanka, a Canadian artist and famed drag queen who, between onstage shows, photo shoots and a million other glam commitments, requires her hair to always be on point. “It really sets the tone for an iconic, productive day,” she says. It’s why Priyanka and her “hair god,” professional hairstylist Kirsten Klontz—the genius behind Priyanka’s viral hair crown in her latest music video, “Snatch”—are always reaching for the double-duty products in Dove’s Hair Therapy line. The key is that they treat and style at the same time. Take your pick from the shine-enhancing 7-in-1 Miracle Mist, split-end-combatting Brilliant Gloss & Repair Serum and the Strength & Fullness Boost Shampoo and Conditioner. We chatted with Priyanka and Klontz about their fave products from the line, why hair is tied to our identity and how a good-hair day can be the ultimate self-esteem boost.
In what ways has your hair—and hair evolution—helped shape your identity?
Priyanka: “Before I was a drag queen, I was so particular about my hair. I loved a middle part, then I switched to a buzz cut and finally, I arrived at my classic ‘Boyanka’ cut, which I’ve had for years. For me, it’s an identifier. People know me for my hair, and I think that is the most amazing compliment ever. No matter what is on your head, the minute you own it, you feel beautiful and confident!”
What’s your go-to product from Dove’s Hair Therapy line?
Priyanka: “Definitely the Brilliant Gloss & Repair Serum—I use it every day. I love how the serum seals split ends and helps reduce frizz, so my hair is left feeling healthy, shiny and smooth. The fact that it’s treating and styling my hair at the same time is a combo like no other.”
What’s your go-to product from Dove’s Hair Therapy line when styling Priyanka’s hair?
Klontz: “Definitely the Hair Therapy 7-in-1 Miracle Mist. I use it to refresh and polish the length, but it also helps to even out the porosity of the hair, so if you layer it with other products, the even porosity helps the other products perform better. That’s my secret for superstar staying power.”
Why is it beneficial to incorporate skincare-inspired ingredients into our hair routine?
Klontz: “Skincare-inspired ingredients can really transform hair’s texture and add shine! Dove’s Hair Therapy Line is formulated with ingredients like hyaluronic serum, niacinamide and potent moisturizers that deeply nourish, strengthen and repair damaged hair at a cellular level. You can truly feel your hair become smoother after just one wash!”
