Shiny hair is easier for some hair types than for others. If you have very straight hair, odds are you have don’t have to work as hard to get a good shine as if you had curly hair. It doesn’t mean you can’t get a shiny head of naturally curly hair, it means you may have to help mother nature out a bit to bring that shine through. This is because curly hair has an uneven surface that can be porous, thus not reflecting light as well or as evenly as straight hair. However, there are products made for all hair types to help you achieve shine and maximize the gloss.
There are a number of things everyone can do to get a glossier hair of head. They can eat a diet high in protein and vitamins to help the body be strong and the hair to grow well. They can use products that include natural ingredients that cleanse the hair, without stripping it of natural oils. They can avoid over-treating the hair with flatirons, hair dryers, and other styling equipment. Heat will damage hair, so you want to avoid excessive heat when styling.
When you look for hair care products, make sure that are suited to your hair type to get the best results. Never shampoo without conditioning and deep condition once a month. You can use products like sprits conditioners after you are done showering, however, don’t be heavy handed with them.
Lastly, adding color can add instant bounce, shine, and volume to your hair. You want to be careful to pick ammonia-free hair colors and to resist the temptation to continuously treat your hair. Instead, focus on touch-ups now and then, rather than a full re-coloring. This can keep your hair from being stressed and keep the shine longer. Use shampoos and conditioners made specifically for color-treated hair, if you decide to go this route to increase the shine.
