15 Steps to Shiny Hair
The most important key to smooth shiny hair is to make sure your hair is cleaned and conditioned properly.
Dirty Dry hair = Dull Hair
Wash hair properly once a week with a clarifying, deep cleansing shampoo to remove product build up.
Make sure you use the correct shampoo and conditioner for helping your hair to seal, smooth and reflect light. (PK Organic Inspired Super Sleek Shampoo) (PK Organic Inspired Silky, Smooth and Shine Conditioner)
Don’t wash your hair under really hot water as the hair absorbs more moisture at high temperatures. Over time this can hinder light reflection and shine because the heat swells the hair shaft and cause tiny chinks in the cuticle.
Opt for styling products that contain shine-enhancing ingredients such as oils and silicones.(Wella High Hair Gloss Serum) (Wella SP Gloss On) (Tigi Bed Head Headrush) Only to namebut afew !
Mix styling products to get the best of your hair for example a straightening cream and a shine fluid = Straight hair with maximum shine. (Wella SP Fluid Crystal) + (Wella SP Straightaway)
Head massage relieves tension, increases blood flow which nourishes root and hair follicle = healthy shiny hair.
Curly hair doesn’t reflect light as well as straight hair. Control the frizz to get the shine back.
Colour gives fresh shine. Colours are enriched with nourishing ingredients that are not as harsh as they used to be.
Don’t blow-dry. Smooth dry hair! Always direct hot air down the shaft to encourage cuticles to smooth. Ionic hairdryers encourage shine. This can be difficult on your own so book into your salon for a professional blow-dry.
Use a round bristle brush when blow-drying, asthey hold ontohair hair much better when smoothing.
Book into the salon for a gloss on treatment which is basically a clear semi permanent that lasts 6 – 8 weeks and leaves hair beautifully shiny.
Don’t over use heat appliances such as hairdryers and irons, these can dull and weaken hair, causing lack of shine. Always use a heat protection product. (

Be gentle when towel-drying hair being rough can damage the cuticle making it appear dull and lead to breakage. Squeeze and blot excess water, or wrap straight into a towel.
Deep condition hair once a week Hair needs moisture so an intensive treatment keeps hair glossy and prevents dry split ends. (PK Organic Inspired Miracle Repair)( Wella SP Power Mask, Wella SP Luminous Mask)
What you eat matters fresh fruit and vegetables increase water intake and add fish to your diet and all will contribute to shiny hair.
