About Shiny Hair
Ever Seen those people with the really nice, non frizzy, shiny hair? Well now is your time to get your hair looking its best. Even during rainy weather!How to get shiny hair
1. Wash and condition.
Start out by running your hair through cold water. (As cold as you can handle) The reason for the water to be cold, is because it locks your hairs cuticle. Warm water doesn't. Massage your scalp with the shampoo (a moisturizing shampoo would be best) and wash out with cold water also. Now you will take your conditioner and massage at the ends of your hair. Leave in for about 2 minutes and wash out with cold water.
2. Dry your Hair properly.
If you have already straight hair, then let your hair air dry. Letting your hair air dry will also make it softer. But for those of you out there that have wavy to curly hair, try this method: Use your favorite smoothing serum. (I've found that aussie's "sydney smooth" works amazing) Massage at the ends of your hair. When it's time to blow-dry your hair, make sure you have a boar bristle brush. Boar bristle brushes are used for the soul purpose of making your hair smooth and not frizzy. (They do not create split ends.) When you start using your hair dryer make sure its on the coldest setting. Cool air will do the same effect to your hair as warm air, it just takes longer to dry. Blow dry your hair using your boar bristle brush and voila. You should see a difference in your hair already. (using a paddle boar bristle brush tends to make your hair straight while using a round boar bristle brush tends to make your hair wavy.)
3. Have a Healthy Diet.
Eat well and stay healthy. That is the first thing that you need to do, because if you're missing important vitamins or nutrients it will show up in your hair as fragile strands, excessive damage or dryness.
4. Hot oil treatment.
It moisturizes your hair using the heat from the oil, the moisturizing properties from whatever oil you are using, and the heat cap. Most people use either olive, sweet almond, or coconut oil. Heat up your oil of choice in the microwave, however much you think your hair needs, more for longer hair, and apply it all over your hair. Then, put on a shower cap or an old grocery bag on your head, covering all parts of the hair, and either go to sleep and wash it out the next morning (sleep with cap on) or leave it on for 20-30 minutes then rinse out and shampoo then do your normal routine.
