Shiney hair By Jessica
Find the Right Shampoo and Conditioner
This is the first step toward achieving shiny hair, says Rubin.
If your hair is fine: Stick with products that won't weigh down your hair. "Flat hair can look dull," says D.J. Try a gentle or volumizing shampoo and a detangler, which is lighter than conditioner.
If your hair is curly or thick: "It's probably on the dry side," says Rubin. "To see more shine, you have to boost your hair's moisture level." Opt for shampoos and conditioners that are nourishing, and treat yourself to a deep-conditioning treatment like Phytotherathrie Phytocitrus Mask every few days.
If your hair is color-treated: "You've already made a major effort to boost shine by coloring your hair," says Rubin. To keep the color true and your hair looking silky, use a shampoo and conditioner designed for chemically treated hair. "They're milder than other shampoos because they don't contain as many hair-stripping detergents," says Rubin. Every few days, replace your color-care hair products with a shampoo or conditioner that deposits a small amount of shine-boosting color onto your hair. Many salons will create or custom-blend these for you.
Repair Damaged Hair
To add shine to dull, stressed hair: Start with a haircut. "The more split ends you get rid of, the better your hair will look," says D.J.
Resist the urge to have your hair colored, which can cause more damage. Instead, consider an in-salon gloss treatment, which adds clear shine that lasts for about a month.
Once a week, give yourself an at-home hot-oil treatment. To do: Wet your hair, apply 1/4 cup of moisturizing hair oil, then wrap a warm, damp towel around your head. Relax for 20 minutes, then shampoo hair.
Allow your hair to air-dry, and stay away from styling appliances like flat irons.
Styling Secrets
No matter what type of hair you have, whenever possible, opt for styling products that contain shine-enhancing ingredients such as silicone or light-reflecting botanicals.
If your hair is straight: Your goal is to keep it smooth. Apply a straightening cream or gel prior to styling hair. When you are through, brush hair with a boar-bristle brush to evenly disperse your hair's natural oils.
If your hair is fine: "Use a shine-boosting styling product that is applied to dry hair, like a glossing spray," says D.J. "Mist onto hair from your roots to your ends."
If your hair is curly: "Don't towel-dry your hair when it's wet," says Rubin. "It breaks up your natural curl, creating lackluster, frizzy hair. Instead, use a towel to blot the moisture." When hair is damp, apply a pea-size amount of antifrizz serum. Use a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment to blow hair dry.
