We know how glossy hair attracts attention and is coveted by many. The good thing is that it's totally possible to achieve this wonderful effect at home. Let's find out how!
Tip 1: Hidratation is key
We can't talk about glossy without talking about moisturizing. So prioritize products whose purpose is to moisturize the hair.
Tip 2: wash your hair the right way
The way you wash your hair greatly influences the final result, even if it doesn't seem like it! The ideal is to wash gently and respect the scalp, without overdoing it with the products and rinsing well at the end! Take a look at our article with tips on how to improve the way you wash your hair!
Tip 3: Rinse off last time in the shower with cold water
Cold water is a great ally to help close the cuticles of our hair, making it softer and consequently more reflective and shiny.
Tip 4: heat protectant before using heat tools
The heat protectant will help prevent the hair from drying out and dulling. It also maintains shine once the hair is dry and styled. Not overusing heat tools is also essential to avoid drying out the hair too much!
Tip 5: trim the ends regularly
Doing this will help your hair look healthier and remove any damaged parts.
Tip 6: healthy diet
Taking care of your diet brings benefits from the inside out. And these benefits go for the hair too! Invest in foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants.
Tip 7: finish your hair with natural oils
Oils such as argan or coconut are great options for finishing your hair without weighing it down. Apply a small drop of the oil to your hands and spread it over the length and ends of your hair. Do this 2-3 times a day.
Tip 8: brush your hair correctly
This causes the natural oil from the scalp to spread through the hair, bringing out the hair's natural glossy look. So start brushing from the ends and work your way up to the scalp. This will help prevent hair breakage and make it easier to detangle.
Tip 9: protect your hair from pollution and sunlight
These factors in excess can make hair duller and even brittle! Opt for accessories such as hats and UV-protective hair products.
Tip 10: do deep conditioning treatments weekly
This long-term practice helps to maintain the hair's moisture, keeping its natural shine more evident.
Tip 11: invest in satin caps and pillowcases
Satin is a soft fabric that allows hair to glide through it, preventing breakage and knots. It also helps to maintain the natural hydration of the hair (and skin too!) So use and abuse this fabric, you can wear a satin cap to bed or a pillowcase if you prefer.
Remember to include these tips in your hair routine for long-lasting results!
