Shiny Happy Hair

As we welcome the summer days, we also face the damp, muggy air that comes with them. If humidity usually does a number on your hair, taking it from shiny to fuzzy, try these ideas to bring your shine back.

Shine Solution 1: Use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Dry, damaged hair is more likely to both frizz and look dull. A shampoo and conditioner with softening, conditioning ingredients will keep hair healthy and encourage shine.

Shine Solution 2: Prep hair with shine serum. After you shower, while hair is still quite wet, apply a silicone-based shine serum on areas prone to dullness. Apply your regular styling product on top.

Shine Solution 3: Dry hair correctly. If your hair is straight, use a natural-bristle brush and a blowdryer on medium heat to dry hair straight. If hair is curly, form curls with your fingers when hair is still wet, then use a diffuser or let hair dry naturally. Once hair is dry, no matter what the texture, keep your hands away from it.

Shine Solution 4: Go for artificial gleam. After hair is dry, cheat a little by spritzing a shine serum all over locks, concentrating on areas that are still dull-looking.
