Tips and Tricks for Shiny Hair:
So let's talk about how to get shiny hair while keeping in mind some easy and simple tips and tricks to protect that shine with the help of certain lifestyle changes, shall we?
1. Choose the Right Shampoo
The first step towards caring for your hair is to know what kind of texture your hair has, its porosity and how dry or oily is your scalp. This will help you understand what kind of shampoo and conditioner works best for your hair. These days, you have a huge range of sulphate and paraben-free shampoos that are good for your hair because they reduce frizz, keep your scalp healthy and irritation-free and strengthen your hair from the roots.
2. Condition Regularly
One of the most important tips for shiny hair is to find an appropriate conditioner that locks the moisture in your hair and keeps it supple and soft for days to come. Conditioners are important for your hair because they donât just add moisture and detangle your hair but also repair damage and add shine to your locks. If you are someone who loves colouring your tresses regularly, conditioning will work like a charm and retain the vibrancy effortlessly.
3. Rinse with Cool Water
Lately, if your hair has been looking dry and brittle, the biggest reason behind it could be that you rinse your hair with scalding hot water. Hot water essentially makes your hair dry. It is also harsh on your scalp as it strips your hair of its oils and makes way for dandruff and other fungal problems. One of the best tricks for shiny hair is that just like your skin, your hair also needs to be rinsed with cold water as it seals the cuticles and locks moisture efficiently.
4. Use a Wide-tooth Comb
Here's how you can make your hair glossy and shiny without using any products on your hair - simply use a wide-tooth comb that detangles your hair easily and keeps your hair fluffy and flowing. A lot of people use bristled brushes that cause breakage and make the hair frizzy. Wide-tooth combs are gentle on your scalp and help massage it lightly to make way for blood circulation.
5. Limit Heat Styling and Use Heat Protection Serum
Heat is the biggest enemy of your hair and if you use heating tools like straighteners and blow dryers on a daily basis, then using a competent heat-protection serum or spray should be a compulsory step in your hair-care routine. Use a serum which provides heat protection, such as the Livon Style Pro Keratin Serum, before you style your hair with heating irons and dryers. This hair serum will act as a barrier between your cuticles and the heating tool and protect your hair from breakage, and dryness and keep it oh-so soft.
6. Use a Hair Serum
Just keeping your hair and scalp clean isn't enough, keeping your hair strands protected and nourished is crucial. A hair serum is your best bet here. They also protect your hair from sun damage and keep the moisture locked in for hours. Livon Professional Hydrating Serum is one of the best hair serums for women out there because it is infused with the goodness of Keratin and Hyaluronic Acid, which makes hair smooth and adds an effortless shine to them.
Pro-tip: Use a hair serum for frizzy hair or a curl defining cream for curly hair right after you wash your hair.
Conclusion.
Now that you have gone through this guide for silky and smooth hair tips, strut across the streets with your tresses glowing and flowing like Rapunzel and shine bright!
