How to Get Shiny Hair: Breaking Down the Basics
1. Snip annoying dead ends.
No matter how you spin it, split ends will never look shiny. To begin your quest for shiny looks, you’ll need to get rid of those dead ends. If you’re scared to lose length, consider snipping just two inches (or less). You’ll be amazed at how this simple technique can refresh your look.
2. Nourish your locks.
Revive your damaged tresses by introducing a weekly hair mask into your regimen. Masks can provide your damaged tresses with some much-needed hydration and moisture while also providing balance for your hair.
3. Stay away from heat.
Step away from heat when you want your hair to really shine. We know how challenging this can be, especially if you can’t bear to leave your house without a slick straight or curled look. Try it by skipping hot tools every other day, and experiment by styling hair and letting it dry naturally on those off days. On the days that you do blow-dry, make sure to coat your locks with some serum, like Dove Quench Absolute Crème Serum, which works to tame frizz and create shine.
4. Evaluate your current wash and care system.
You might not realize this, but something as simple as your shampoo and conditioner can have an impact on how your hair looks and feels. For the most part, you’ll want to wash your hair every other day. However, when you do, make sure to use the right treatment for your hair type. To get shiny hair, we like formulas that provide us with a deep clean while also making our hair smoother and more manageable. Try TRESemmé Keratin Shampoo and TRESemmé Keratin Infusion Conditioner whose formulas works to make your hair smooth and sleek.
5. Use shine enhancers.
Certain products can really help give your hair an added boost. A spray that contains gloss is great for a mid-day refresh, whereas an anti-frizz cream like Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Smooth & Shine Cream can help you tame frizz, while also protecting your hair when you blow-dry it.
