How To Have Shiny And Glossy Hair

Dull and dead hair has never been fashionable, not in a thousand years. Throughout time, women have aimed to have hair that could turn heads, the kind of hair that can command all the attention in a room.

After all, who doesn't want to have a crowning glory that sparkles and glimmers in the light? Here's our definitive guide on how to have shiny and glossy hair!

Keep hair smooth and soft

It goes without saying that smooth and glossy hair is hair that's also smooth and soft. If your hair has tangles all over and is riddled with split ends and frizz, there's a good chance that it won't shine no matter how many times you turn under the light.

In order to keep your hair smooth and soft, it's important to have an effective hair care routine. Remember that your routine depends highly on your hair type as well as the state of your hair's health, so do make sure that your personal routine fits these criteria.

Choose a good shampoo

A good shampoo is one that will not weigh your strands down or cause excessive dryness. Sadly, not all shampoos on the market can tick off those two items.

If you're looking for a good shampoo, we recommend that you get one that doesn't have any parabens or sulfates. Both these ingredients can be really damaging to your hair, and for many reasons. With all the shampoo options seen on store shelves, it's best to just avoid this kind of shampoo altogether.

Use hair oils

While conditioning your hair regularly is extremely vital in keeping your hair healthy and moisturized, sometimes it just isn't enough.

Occasionally, you should also try using hair masks or hair oils to further moisturize your strands. Hair oils, in particular, are best at making sure that your strands are well-nourished, as they penetrate much deeper than just regular conditioner. Coconut oil and avocado oil are particularly good oils to use for your hair.

Spritz on some hair serum

Before finishing up with your regular hair care routine, you should try to spritz on some hair serum first.

If you've ever used serums for your face, you'll know that these are basically just concentrated versions of your moisturizer. In fact, if you have dry and frizzy hair, which means your hair could be lacking moisture or just plain out dehydrated, then serums could be downright miraculous for you.

Just remember, serums come in all types and forms, so again, make sure that you choose one that's suitable for your own hair type.

Protect hair from sun rays

Did you know that the sun could be extremely damaging for your hair? Even if you followed all the tips from this article, if you're always out unprotected in the sun, you can be sure that your hair will stay in the exact state that it is now, if not get worse.

It's very important not to forget your hair sunscreen whenever you're planning to go out for an extended period of time. Yes, it's not just your skin that needs sunscreen! Your hair could get dehydrated just from the heat of the sun alone, so make sure to always protect it. If you want to keep shiny and glossy hair, you better start taking care of it starting now.
