Tips for Adding shine to your hair

Any woman wants shiny, beautiful hair. In order to do that you often exaggerate with your hair care; you use excessively the hair dryer, you color your hair, you use hair straightening products and devices, you brush your hair too much or you ignore radiations, overexposing your hair to the sun. Over the time, your hair looses strength and shine because you do not know how to handle noxious factors. Find out from this article how to obtain a sexy, shiny hair and a healthy one at the same time.

Ways to Adding shine to your hair

Take some vinegar in a spray bottle and dilute it sufficiently to eliminate the strong odor of vinegar. Now spray into hair and rinse out a few minutes later.

Add a juicy lemon’s extract to your last rinse. This is for a blonde’s best shine. If you are a brunette or a red head use apple cider vinegar instead.

Mash a very ripe banana in a little bowl; keep adding a few drops of almond oil while mashing. Massage into your hair; remember I said hair, while it is dry. Wait for ten minutes and rinse out. You can do this at intervals and revive the magic.

Keep it clean. Selecting the right cleaning products for your hair will do much in ensuring that your locks can put their shiniest foot forward. If your hair tends toward the dry end of the scale, make sure that you look for a moisturizing shampoo. If you usually use a lot of heat to style your hair, in the form of blow dryers and curling irons, look for a formula that is heat activated. And if your hair runs on the oily side, don’t forget to use a clarifying shampoo regularly to strip your tresses of the excess oil that can wear hair down and dull the shine.

Never brush wet hair. Wet hair stretches more easily than dry hair. The stress of brushing can actually do more damage than good. Most experts recommend brushing your hair at least eight hours after you shampoo so that the natural oil has had a chance to accumulate.

Brush in long strokes from the scalp down to the ends in one motion. Sebum, the natural oil produced in hair follicles, protects and moisturizes hair. Brushing roots to ends distributes the oil evenly. This is especially important if you have long hair — without brushing the oil might never get all the way to the ends where it’s needed the most.

Use heat-activated shampoo; Deep condition at least weekly; Don’t use too many styling products that can dull the hair by coating it.

Strawberry Hair Mask: Mash eight strawberries with one tablespoon mayonnaise. Massage into washed, damp hair. Cover with a shower cap, then a warm towel. Wash out with a shampoo/conditioner combination. This luscious mix of rich acidic berries will leave your hair both conditioned and with rich gloss.

Make sure not to strip the scalp off its natural oil, sebum, by using too many styling gels and hair products. Stick with natural hair care remedies as much as possible.

Avoid using excessive coloring products on your hair; these damage the hair resulting in dull dry brittle hair.

For adding quick shine to your hair, heat activating shampoos are another choice you could occasionally use.

For women with gray hair, adding shine your hair can be particularly tough. Gray hair has a tendency to take on a yellowish cast because of airborne particles. To make gray hair super shiny, I recommend a professional gloss treatment in a salon. That will seal the cuticle, so that nothing can penetrate it and dull the color, and should last for up to five weeks. You should also use a shampoo specifically designed for gray hair, but make sure that it isn’t too violet in color, or your hair will end up blue.
