How to get shiny hair?

Is your hair dull and unruly? Is it brittle and difficult to style? To achieve shiny, silky, and strong hair, it may be time to change your hair care routine and adopt a few simple steps to properly care for it and moisturize it without leaving your scalp greasy. Discover 5 tips for supple, shiny, and radiant hair.

Trim the ends every 3 months

Trimming your hair ends regularly is a simple and essential step for healthy hair and improving its appearance. Indeed, small split ends appear over time, caused by the use of heating appliances or by the simple friction of hair on the pillow or clothing. Hair grows on average 1 cm per month and we recommend trimming up to 1 cm every 3 months or so to eliminate split and damaged ends and make your hair thicker, stronger and shinier.

Make oil baths

Vegetable oils have many properties. The fatty acids and ceramides they contain help strengthen, repair, and protect the hair fiber, resulting in shiny hair. Once every 2 weeks, do an oil bath, choosing the one that best suits your needs and hair type (oily, dry, damaged, etc.). Take a few drops of oil and apply it to your hair, from root to tip, then massage it into the scalp before leaving it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then wash thoroughly, followed by a good rinse. Choose an oil that is non-greasy to the touch so as not to weigh down your hair, and preferably choose an organic, cold-pressed oil.

Use targeted hair care

The choice of care products you use to wash your hair is essential and has a real impact on the beauty and shine of your hair. To boost the shine of your hair, use a moisturizing shampoo that will strengthen it. The Anti-Breakage Moisturizing Care Shampoo helps fight hair loss linked to hair breakage, particularly during brushing. This nourishing treatment moisturizes the scalp as well as the entire length of your hair to make it more resistant. Results: shiny hair from root to tip.

Also choose a conditioner suited to your hair's needs to facilitate detangling and limit frizz caused by styling. The Fundamental Hydration Conditioner has anti-frizz properties from the first application and provides essential hydration to effortlessly detangle and smooth hair. Infused with hyaluronic acid and Microlayers technology, it is designed to leave hair moisturized, softer to the touch, and shinier. After a few minutes of leaving your conditioner on, rinse your hair thoroughly, preferably with cold water. Cold water tightens the hair cuticles, making it stronger and shinier.

Brush hair regularly

You may be used to brushing your hair in the morning when you wake up, but note that it's also essential to brush it in the evening. Brushing your hair before going to bed helps remove dust and any impurities that may have accumulated during the day and can dull your hair. In addition, brushing along your hair helps distribute sebum throughout your hair. In addition to strengthening your hair, sebum naturally makes your hair shiny.

Use a styling product

After washing your hair or even on dry hair, styling is made easier by using a leave-in styling product that helps smooth, reduce frizz, and boost shine. Essence Hydrating Hair Serum moisturizes and softens hair for shinier, more manageable hair. This hydrating hair serum is made with a blend of nourishing emollients that aids styling without weighing hair down, gives a more manageable feel, and reduces frizz.
