The Girl's Guide to Get Healthy and Shiny Hair

How To Get Shiny Hair

Many of us think that having a soft and shiny hair is a farfetched dream. We believe that a shiny hair is just a myth or something that only models, actresses, and celebs can enjoy while we get to settle with having damaged, dry and utterly lifeless hair.

For your information, you can have shiny hair too! All that you need to do is know the tried and tested ways on how to get shiny hair like the ones that we have below:

1

Add contrast to your hair.

One of the best ways to make hair look shiny is to play with your hair color. To make hair look shiny, it is recommended that you incorporate dark and lighter color in your hair style. If your base is a dark color, ask for highlights. If you have a blonde colored hair, ask for lowlights.
2

Rinse hair with cold water.

A cold water rinse is one of the most effective ways to make hair shiny. The cold water smoothens the hair cuticle and seals in moisture allowing it to reflect light instead of absorbing it, thus making it look shiny. If you love having hot baths, you can just simply rinse your hair with cold water after washing.
3

Coat hair with gelatin mask.

A gelatin hair mask is useful in restoring the proteins in your hair, bringing back the shine that it once lost. Just pour unflavored gelatin into one tablespoon of warm water. Mix it and apply from the ends to the roots. Let it stand for 10 minutes then rinse afterwards.
4

Use a hair shine spray.

If you want shiny hair an instant, there is one superficial way to achieve that— apply hair shine spray! Aside from giving your hair the shine it needs, this product also conceals split ends and tame hair frizz.
5

Add aspirin to the shampoo that you are using.

Sometimes, our hair looks dry and dull because of dandruff. One of the best ways to manage this scalp problem is with the use of aspirin. This is because it contains salicylic acid which can break down the buildup of dead skin cells and hair product in your scalp, preventing dandruff from forming. Crush 2 to 4 tablets and put it in a dollop of your shampoo. Do this 2 times a month.
6

Shy away from sulfate-containing hair products.

Sulfates can make hair products to lather quickly, but they can cause dryness to hair. That’s why you should avoid using products that contain sulfates. These are often listed as sodium Laureth sulfate or sodium laurel.
7

Wash hair with beer.

Beer may be bad for the body, but it can be good for the hair. Because of its malt content, it can provide the hair the proteins it needs to be stronger, smoother and looks more vibrant. So beer shower anyone?
