‘Dancing With the Stars’ Pro Daniella Karagach Shares Essential Rehearsal Kit

As Season 35 of “Dancing With the Stars” progresses, professional dancer Daniella Karagach is navigating a demanding schedule. In between intense rehearsals with her partner, Paralympic gold medalist Ezra Frech, Karagach shared her essential items that help her maintain comfort and personal style during the season.

Karagach, who recently launched a collaboration with Dearfoams, highlighted several key products that she relies on during her busy days. She described the season as “crazy and exhausting in the best possible way,” emphasizing the importance of small routines and products that support her self-care.

Her hair care routine includes the Davines OI All In One Milk, which she calls her “holy grail.” After using the brand’s shampoo and conditioner, she applies the leave-in milk to keep her hair “soft and replenished,” a crucial step for maintaining hair health between performances and extensive practice sessions.

For comfort, Karagach frequently wears slippers from her own collaboration with Dearfoams. The Daniella x Dearfoams Fireside Suede Shearling Scuff Slippers are a staple during long rehearsal days, providing a soft and cozy alternative after hours in performance footwear.

Hydration is also a priority, with the BrüMate Rise 25oz Water Bottle being her preferred choice. She referred to it as her “emotional support water bottle,” appreciating its designs and ease of use for staying hydrated throughout the day.

Karagach also prioritizes skincare, especially given the demands of stage makeup, spray tans, and physical exertion. The Epicutis Luxury Skincare Set has become a vital part of her routine. She noted that the Hyvia Crème is frequently used by her makeup artist as a base for all her looks.

To ensure her hair remains in place through demanding routines, Karagach uses Got2B Glued Blasting Freeze Hairspray. She described it as a “true ‘DWTS’ weekly essential” due to its affordability, strength, and effectiveness in holding hairstyles during live shows, including lifts and quick changes.

Finally, for comfort during rehearsals and on show days, Karagach favors Nowear Barrel Pants. She appreciates their comfort and the ability to move freely while remaining cozy, stating that comfort is always her top priority.
