Do you sometimes struggle with dull and lifeless hair? If so, you aren’t alone. There are many reasons why your hair may look this way. It could be because of the climate you live in, the hair products you use, the hair care techniques you incorporate or even genetics. However, with a few changes to your quality hair care routine, you can slowly transform your dull and lifeless hair to the shiny and healthy hair you’ve been wanting. Here are four tips to help get you started.
Don’t Wash Your Hair As Often
A common misconception is thinking washing your hair more will make it shinier. The truth is the more you wash it, the more you’re stripping the natural oils from the hair and making it harder for the body to catch up in producing enough. So if you wash your hair every two days, skip a day and wash it every third day instead. And be sure to use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to further protect the hair. Simply skipping a wash occasionally may slowly give you the results you desire and you’ll notice the shine being restored after a week or two.
Seal Your Cuticles With A Cold Water Rinse
Once you’ve used your sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, rinse it out with cold water instead of warm water. The cold water seals off your cuticles better in order to reduce the amount of frizz you experience. Then be sure to dab your hair dry with a microfiber towel if possible to further protect it. These steps are often overlooked but are critical in maintaining shiny hair.
Use The Right Hair Brush
The wrong hairbrush could be damaging your hair with every stroke. A good brush will have natural bristles that are as gentle on the hair as possible. The natural bristles also help spread out the oils from the roots of the hair all the way through the ends. One of the most common quality hair care questions we get is how to prevent oily roots, and using the right hair brush and brushing technique is often the answer.
Prioritize Hair Protection Products
If you regularly use heat tools, investing in a good protective hair serum is essential. Heat can damage hair quickly and make it virtually impossible to keep sleek and shiny. While it’s always a good practice to minimize the use of these tools as much as possible, using a protective hair serum at the very least is recommended. It will help prevent brittle hair, which can lead to breakage, frizziness and dull hair.
