1 – First of all, hydration
The most important step for your hair to shine is to take the best care of it! We know there are many reasons why hair can lose its shine. Two of them are excess moisture and lack of proteins, which are a constant problem, but very easy to solve.
Artificial hair coloring, as well as heating devices – such as hairdryers, straighteners and curling irons – steal hair’s shine and damage it more easily.
That’s why it’s important to carry out a moisturizing treatment once or twice a week, letting the product work for at least half an hour. You can do this at home using hair oils, some moisturizing ampoules or opt for homemade hydrating mask recipes.

2 – Dry properly
Taking good care of your hair is not the only thing that gives it shine, we must also learn how to dry it correctly. It is essential to let your hair dry a little before using the dryer. Avoid using the dryer with completely wet hair!
After removing excess water from the strands, dry your hair with a hairdryer, so that the air current passes from the roots to the ends. This will ensure that the cuticles on the surface of the strands close, making your hair shine more.
Before that, don’t forget to apply some type of hair protectant against heat.

3 – Products with micellar water: the solution to revitalize your hair
Did you think micellar water could only be used on your face? Well you were wrong!
This refreshing and effective product also exists in versions for hair. In fact, it’s a great option when it comes to restoring hydration to your hair. A shampoo, conditioner or spray containing micellar water deeply cleanses and removes impurities without drying or being harsh. Nourishes and hydrates hair quickly and easily.

4 – Use foam conditioning
If you want to see your hair shine, nourished and without weighing down the strands, not only should you follow the previous advice, but it is also important to pay attention to the small details.
If your hair is especially straight and has lost strength, we recommend that you start using a foaming conditioner. Its advantages? It not only provides hydration to the hair, but also a certain volume, preventing it from becoming hard.
Although it may seem a little strange to you, the truth is that it is applied in the same way as a normal conditioner, but with a different texture.
When you get out of the shower, try not to rub your hair with the towel, but pat it gently to remove moisture: take the towel and press the strands, from root to tip. When styling, be very careful and use a coarse-toothed comb or detangling brush. Wet hair is very delicate and easily damaged!

5 – Healthy nutrition for shiny hair
Just as you can take care of your hair from the outside, you can also do it from the inside. As? Following a healthy and balanced diet! What we ingest influences the internal structure of the hair and, therefore, its shine. It is said that the condition of our hair is a reflection of the general state we are in.
A balanced diet, rich in proteins, vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids, is vital for hair, as these substances act as an internal cure. Therefore, your plate should never be missing ingredients such as fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables. It is also important to sleep at the recommended times and relax. Stress ends up making your hair brittle and dull.
