Silky smooth and shiny hair is a sign of healthy locks, but unhealthy styling, sun exposure, coloring and any other disruption can cause your hair to lose its 'natural shine'. Also, there are some mistakes in your daily routine that can leave your hair tangled. The good news is that with the right products and new healthy habits, you can achieve silky shiny hair at home. If you're dealing with dull, frizzy, tangled hair, follow these 6 easy steps to get silky shiny hair.
1. Use the right shampoo
Most of us make this common mistake while shampooing, we pile up all the hair on our head and wash the entire length. This common mistake creates tangles and most importantly dries out the very ends of your hair where the lack of moisture is already greatest, especially if your hair is curly. After washing your hair with warm water, gently massage the shampoo into the roots and don't rinse all the way to the end, especially if you have long hair. Also, try to extend the time between washes to keep your locks from drying out.
2. Choose products with vitamin B5
VITAMIN B5 is a type of protein found in your hair, skin and nails, protecting it from scratches or tears. Products containing hydrolyzed keratin are essential to restore the strength of damaged hair.
3. Brush carefully
This frizzy sound when you brush your hair is actually a bad sign of breakage and damage rather than smoothing and softening the outer layer (cuticle) of your hair. When working with still wet hair, carefully use a comb instead of a brush or a brush designed for use on wet hair. Only use your regular brush once the hair is completely dry, slowly starting to detangle the locks at the ends and working your way up to the roots. If you want easy combing and brushing, use Sapphire Energy Bio-Active Mist which nourishes hair and provides strength, smoothness and elasticity.
4. Learn to blow dry
First and foremost, invest in a proper blow dryer and don't overlook the special attachments that come with it, they are there to use them. But it's not just about a tool more than how you use it. Make sure you hold a blow-dryer about 15cm away from your head, starting from the roots moving towards the ends, following the direction of the cuticle. Constant brush movements while blow-drying will ensure a smooth and shiny finish to your hair. At the very end, lock your style in place and close the cuticle with a blast of cool air. To protect your hair from heat during blow drying, use T-Lab Professional Royal Detox Bio-Active Mist to refresh your scalp while providing the protection it needs.
5. Use light oil
Nourish and restore tired hair by applying lightweight oils or products containing them once a week. Also, you can try using oil daily on the ends of the hair to increase hydration. Try T-LAB Professional Blonde Ambition Elixir Absolute which contains natural antioxidant-rich organic babassu oil and plant sterols that provide complex hair care, restoring the hair's hydro-lipid layer structure.
6. Pamper your hair with a mask
You probably already know that proper moisture is crucial for your hair. Consider it a weekly hair treatment and use a deep conditioner or nourishing hair mask to protect your hair from frizz, split ends and heat damage. Apply T-Lab Professional Aura Oil DUO Treatment to washed hair comb and leave for about 15 minutes and remember to rinse with cold water only, this treatment will ensure smooth and soft hair with a natural shine.
Always remember that shiny and silky hair comes from within so ensure a balanced diet and follow healthy habits. By correcting a few mentioned mistakes and adding simple new steps to your daily hair routine, you can achieve silky shiny hair, but most importantly, you will keep it healthy. Take care and keep burning.
