Having beautiful, shiny hair is what everyone strives to achieve.
Here are 10 Ways to Get Shiny Hair!
1. Dye it right!
When dying your hair, make sure to choose the right shade for you so you can avoid changing colors. Warm golden shades and dark colors tend to give off a more glossy look.
2. Schedule regular snips.
I was told that in order to keep your hair healthy, you have to get a trim every 6 weeks. This way, you are getting rid of split ends.
3. Repair while you iron.
NEVER skip heat protectant whether you're blow-drying, straightening, or curling! That is a must. In addition, you can also use a ceramic straightener which "moisturizes" your locks rather than frying it. It leaves your hair really soft and tangle-free afterwards.
4. Veg out.
Try to consume vitamins A and C!
5. Find your formula.
I love using Argan oil and hair serums. I apply them everytime after I shower.
6. Layer on the gel.
I'm not really a big fan of gel. But if you were to rock a high ponytail, gel is the answer to a shiny one.
7. Take a cold shower!
This is a problem for me. I only take a shower in hot water. I guess it's because it relaxes me. But from now on, I'm going to try showering in cold water just to decrease the heat I apply on my hair.
8. Embrace oils.
ARGAN OIL! COCONUT OIL! HOT OIL!
9. Have a pint.
Ooo, I never knew that drenching your hair in beer will make it shiny. Hmm, I should try this.
10. Come clean.
Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo at least once a week to get rid of any buildup from all the products that you used.
Here are a few of my hair products wishlist:

I hope that these tips helped you guys!
How do you keep you hair looking shiny and healthy? What products do you guys use?
It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.

Nice!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a product, but I know an apple cider vinegar rinse in the shower helps, and I always rinse my hair with cold water! Something about make the follicles lay flatter so their more shiny or something! :)

Using gel for a high pony - that's awesome! I'll need to try that. I've always got major frizzies when I try to pull of the sleek pony. Thanks love.

ReplyDeletemy friend also told me about the cold shower thing, but sometimes i just cant help taking hot shower when the weather is chilly :p
haha I'm guilty of not having regular snips, I gotta do that more. and yaa i can't do cold showers either haha but Ill dope up in veggies :D
ReplyDeleteOoh, I was excited to read this post. I want shiny hair!
ReplyDeleteI definitely make it a point to apply heat protectant before I blow-dry, straighten, or curl my hair. I eat lots of veggies so I'm good with that one and I try to take cold showers too!
Haha, I can't believe drenching your hair in beer will make it shiny. COOL!
