“How To Make Your Hair Shine”

     There is nothing like shiny hair to make you feel beautiful.

     Whether you were born with wavy, curly, straight or super curly hair, we can help you achieve SHINE.

     Shiny hair makes you look healthy and well-groomed. This doesn't always come naturally, so you may be required to make a change in your regular beauty routine.

     Most women will find that hair which requires a lot of care usually incurs the most damage as it takes more effort to achieve effect.

     There are many simple techniques which can help and you will have to play a lot- achieve a look that works for your exact hair texture.

     We've put together a plan here which is designed to infuse your hair with healthy shine all of the time- no matter the color or texture AND with little fuss.

     For those of us who have to color our hair, we have to be aware of the different types of hair dye that are out there. We have to ensure we are using products that are formulated for color-treated hair.

     An example of a shine-enhancing hair color product is Revlon's Super Lustrous or L'Oréal's Féria. These hair dyes will work great if you plan to dye your hair at home.

     Products which are designed for color-treated hair will prevent our locks from being stripped of color which will leave our hair looking dull and lifeless- definitely not the shine perfection we're after.

     One of my personal favorites to do with my own hair is deep condition.

     You should try to do this as often as you can- it really doesn't take up much time and if you follow the few easy steps, you will find it's quite painless!

     First, begin by showering or washing your hair and toweling dry to remove excess water. Rub your hands together to gently distribute conditioner.

     Next, begin at your hairline and apply conditioner from the forehead to the ends. Comb through hair for even distribution. Allow to sit for ten minutes.

     A great product that you can treat yourself to weekly is a hair mask like Joico K-Pak.

     For those of us on tight schedules, you can achieve the deep conditioning feel without spending lots of time.

     To cut down on split-ends, just hydrate using your regular conditioner. In the shower or bath, shampoo hair and rinse. Next, apply conditioner while you wash your body and rinse out when finished.

     If you are on a budget and cannot afford salon quality products, there is one product on the market right now which is surprisingly effective for dull, color-treated hair.

     This product is Dove's "Intense Moisture" shampoo and conditioner. It smells great and it leaves hair clean and shiny.

     Another great way to keep your hair shiny and full of life is to use the natural oil from your hair to add to its shine. This can be accomplished by a gentle brushing. Brushing increases blood flow and will help coat each hair with protective oils.

     If you are prone to using a hairdryer, be sure to use heat activated shampoos and conditioners.

     Their moisturizers are released by the heat of the dryer which causes hair to become soft and shiny, even while blow-drying.

     Examples of heat-activated shampoos, conditioners and styling products are ThermaSilk, Vidal Sassoon and Neutrogena.

     These products all work great without costing you a fortune.

     Another tip while blow-drying: keep hairdryer in a downward direction to avoid fluffing up the cuticle. Most of us don't know this but flat cuticles shine better!

     All of this styling and product use can give our hair a beating it doesn't deserve. Avoid using a hair dryer some days and let it just dry naturally.

     If you must use a dryer, keep it on the coolest setting and use a diffuser or a nozzle. The nozzle also makes your hair softer as it applies direct heat.

     If you are after curls but don't want to wreak havoc on your hair, cut back on the curling iron and opt in for hot rollers. This is a gentler approach but still gives you the same outcome: sexy, wavy tresses.

     To prevent scorching, don't spray your hair with hairspray before using ANY heated appliance.

     All women should avoid weighing their hair down with a lot of styling products. They can dry out your hair and take away your shine. You should always stick to one or two products and use them in moderation.

     Over time, your hair will adjust and it will take less effort to pull off your desired look.

     For those of you with really busy schedules, you can have gleam on the go! Here are two methods that are proven to work... FAST:

     If you have straight hair, mist the hair with water from a spray bottle.

     Next, massage a few drops of shine serum into your hair. Always work out from the layers closest to the scalp.

     Comb your hair to distribute product and let your hair air-dry.

     If you have curly or wavy hair, mist the hair with water and then spritz on a leave-in conditioner. Then, finger style your curls into shape.

     Let your hair dry naturally for the best look. To boost shine once the hair has dried, top tresses with shine-enhancing spray.

     You should always test a few styling products that are designed to make your hair shiny. This will help you find a product that is best for you.

     There are many tips for shiny hair and this is just a few of them. When it comes to products, it is solely dependent on your budget, your lifestyle and your needs. Only YOU know how much time and effort should be spent on your hair.
