Shiny Hair

Shiny hair is all the rage. Here is how to get it...

In the 80s, big hair was in. Stiff hair was all the rage in the 90s. Now it’s all about shiny hair. Harper’s Bazaar tells us how to get it:

• Lose your plastic brush. Use a boar bristle one instead. A natural brush breaks less hair and redistributes oil and shine.

• Condition first! That’s right – apply the conditioner first but not to the roots. Then, without rinsing, apply the shampoo to the root area. Lather, then rinse it all out.

• Rinse with cold water. It closes the cuticle for smooth hair. If you blow dry – finish on the cool setting for the same reason.

To keep your hair smooth and shiny, avoid any products with alcohol. Silicone sprays are filling the shelves and they work great – but go easy with it. If you use too much your hair will fall flat and look greasy.
