Everybody wants shiny hair! It looks healthy, sexy and is the perfect way to finish any outfit. But what makes hair more shiny, and what just makes it sticky? I’ve been hunting down the best hair products, and here are my top tips for shiny hair!
1. Deep condition twice a week.
This keeps your hair follicles healthy. Hair won’t shine unless it’s in good condition!
2. Don’t use lots of hair products.
Hair products can be hard to wash out, as they cling to the hair. Once hair is coated in product, it doesn’t shine at all. Only use what is necessary, and wash any out as soon as possible!
3. Use hair masks!
Hair masks are brilliant for making hair look gorgeous. My favourite mask involves mashing eight strawberries with a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Wash hair, then apply mask, wait five minutes, then wash out. It makes my hair so glossy!
Thanks soo much for the tips I needed this BTW Tip #4 reeeeeally does work it makes a huge diffrence in my hair soo does Tip #1

Water is such a necessity for our bodies. It makes sense, since such a large percentage or our body is water.

Omg today i straightened my hair (it’s usually almost always curly) and everyone commented on how shiny and pretty it looked. I only straighten my hair about 2-3 times a month. I always put moose and hairspray in my hair to maintain the curliness.
Now i know it was very shiny because i didn’t use ANY product.
Great tips!! Thanks (:

Rose,
Ditto here. I only straighten it when I absolutely have to. Thankfully I’m too lazy to do it often. ANd that keeps my hair healthy :D

That cool blast tip definitely works! The egg works too but the hair (and the bathroom) smell so bad that I am NOT doing that ever again :p

Sheila,
LOL!! I agree!! The egg is very stinky. Your hair may be shiny and luscious but everyone around you is like “What’s that smell?” And its pretty embarrassing when they find out its you. Eeesh. (my friend had this problem) I felt bad for her :p

Hi Kati! Really nice article. My hair is really shiny and healthy :)I receive lots of compliments on it (I did a review on my blog about a conditioner so you can see my photo there). I never died my hair but I also use Wella Lifetex which is an elixir for hair ends :)

Hey!
For egg – smelly hair, all you need to do is, squeeze one whole lemon into a mug full of warm water, or cold water, if in summers ;) , and just rinse your hair with it, after the egg mask is done with. ;) bye bye bad smell!

BTW! I just remembered another tip, which my grandma used to keep telling me when I was a kid!
Don’t throw away those fabulous orange peels, dry them in the sun for 2-3 days, and then brew them in boiling water, (2 cups – 2 orange’s peals) (just like tea) , keep it overnight, and rinse your hair with it. Super Glossy!
