5 Secrets that you can try from the comfort of your own home to keep your hair shiny.
1. Keep your hair clean
Right shampoo can clean your hair gently with desired result. If your hair tends toward the dry end of the scale, make sure that you look for a moisturizing shampoo. If you usually use a lot of heat to style your hair, in the form of blow dryers and curling irons, take extra care & look for a formula that is heat activated. If your hair runs on the oily side, don’t forget to use a clarifying shampoo regularly to strip your tresses of the excess oil that can wear hair down and dull the shine.
2. Cool rinse for smooth cuticles
A cool water rinse will go a long way in smoothing the cuticles – a sure shine enhancer. You can even take your rinse a step further by adding a shot of lemon juice if you are a blonde, or you can use apple cider vinegar if your hair is brunette (dark brown) or red. Beer is another good shine enhancing rinse for any hair color.
3. Style with care
If you simply cannot live without your blow dryer or hot rollers, make sure that you are using shampoos, conditioners and styling products that are specifically designed to be heat activated. This will protect your hair foam becoming dull and dry.
4. Carefully pick your styling products
A hairspray with shine enhancers is better. Look for leave in conditioners and styling gels that are specially formulated to bring out the shine. Even some hair colors are designed today to make the most of your natural glow.
5. Gentle massage is healthy
Pamper your hair at least once a week with hot oil massage. For shine power, select ingredients like strawberries that are pureed or olive oil that has been warmed up. A drop or two of rosemary will give a boost to darker hair, while chamomile oil will do wonders for lighter hair colors.
