Healthy, strong and shiny hair: these are hair goals for us. In this blog we zoom in on the latter, getting shiny hair. With our 5 tips you will have shiny locks in no time!
FIRST THINGS FIRST: HOW SHINE IS CREATED
Before we give you our tips for shiny hair, it is important to understand where that beautiful shine comes from. Whether your hair is shiny or not has everything to do with the hair scales. These are on the outside of each hair. If your hair scales are closed, the light can reflect more easily and you get a beautiful shine.
1. USE PRODUCTS WITH NOURISHING INGREDIENTS
To get shiny hair, it is important to use the right products. Go for products with ingredients that smooth the hair shaft. Cottonseed oil, for example, is very good at this. Cottonseed oil strengthens the hair shaft and smoothes it, giving you frizz-free and shiny hair. The products from our Glamorama collection all contain cottonseed oil and are therefore perfect for creating shiny hair.
2. BLOW-DRY IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR HAIR
Okay, back to the hair cuticles. You want them closed. That's why it's important to blow-dry in the direction of your hair. If you blow-dry from the roots to the ends, you push the hair cuticles in the right direction and your hair will look shinier. For extra shine , blow cold air along your locks at the end.
3. USE THE RIGHT BRUSH
Not all brushes are the same. It is not without reason that there are so many different brushes. There are also brushes that can stimulate the shine of your hair . The High Shine Vent Brush , for example. What's in a name ! This brush contains natural boar bristles (obtained in an animal-friendly manner) that give the natural shine of the hair a big boost . In addition, this brush is specially shaped for the scalp, so that it gives a massage, stimulates the growth of healthy hair and you can comfortably detangle your hair.
4. USE HAIR OIL
To give your hair instant shine, you can use a hair oil. Warm a small amount in your hands, then spread it over your hair and there you go : smooth and shiny hair! Shine, that's what we want, but greasy hair, that's what we don't want. So go for a good hair oil. The Go With The Glow Hair Oil contains argan oil and cottonseed oil and gives a beautiful shine without making the hair greasy. In addition, this lightweight oil eliminates frizz while the hair is hydrated, detangled, softened and protected.
5. COLORED HAIR? USE A NOURISHING COLOR MASK
If you have colored hair, a color mask is always handy to give your color a boost between two coloring sessions. If you choose a color mask with a rich, nourishing formula, you can also boost the health of your hair. Our Color Masks contain natural, nourishing ingredients, such as shea butter, coconut oil and sunflower extract, which hydrate the hair, make it soft and conjure up a beautiful shine. Shine on !
