How to add shine to your hair?
On New Year’s Eve, you want not only your eyes to shine, but also your hair. But what if your hair lacks the natural glow? WDay.ru knows the answers!
Start by cleansing
Hair loses up to 70% of its shine due to improper care. Bad shampoo, chlorinated water, poor-quality styling products clog the hair scales. To restore your hair, do a deep cleanse. The healing shampoo will penetrate deep into the hair structure and cleanse of all impurities, the mask will fill with nutrients, and the conditioner will close the scales and smooth the structure. Hair coloring after such a procedure will be many times more effective and the color will last much longer.
Choose a protein and polymer shampoo for every day. These ingredients envelop and thicken the hair. Use a volume spray when styling. He, like a thin shawl, will cover your hair and protect it from drying out.
Shampoo containing silk amino acids will leave hair soft and repair damaged hair. Lecithin is vital to restore hair texture. When styling, use gels and creams to add shine.
Have a massage
Hair loves warmth. Massaging wet hair will improve blood circulation and the nutrients will flow to the hair much better. Massage with your fingertips in a circular motion and always towards the back of the head: from the neck, from the ears, from the forehead and temples. After that, apply a mask or balm and put on a shower cap for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Prepare a mask
Hair shine mask: mash a few strawberries or strawberries in a bowl, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Apply the mixture to hair for 20 minutes, rinse with shampoo.
Add vitamins
The source of hair health is the presence of iron in the body. So eat fish, a natural source of iron. Tuna is especially useful, it contains a large amount of the Omega-3 substance, which is essential for hair.
Moving on to styling
Wrap a towel over your head and roll it up. The towel will remove excess water without damaging the hair structure. If you have medium or long hair, leave the towel on your head for 20-25 minutes, if short, for 10-15 minutes. Then comb your hair using a wide toothed comb.
Dry your hair with a hairdryer on the ionization mode and be sure to finish drying by turning on the cold mode. This will cool the hair, making it smooth and supple. Attention! Never dry your hair to the end, turn off the hairdryer when you still feel moisture to the touch. Let your hair dry naturally to help retain moisture.
Professional approach
Look at how stylists work in salons, and do the same. For example, before drying, divide your hair into strands, twist the top along the length and twist into a bun at the crown and secure with papillotes. This is done in hairdressing salons, pay attention. Dry the bottom hair first, then remove the bobby pins one at a time and dry lightly strand by strand. After that, apply styling products and divide again into strands and twist. Drying in this way will allow you to control the condition of all hair and achieve ideal condition step by step. Moreover, such a careful attitude will save you from hair loss. When styling is complete, you will see how light, smooth and shiny your hair is!
So, for their hair to shine, they need:
Heat: Massage each time you wash your hair.
Deep Cleansing: Perform this procedure once a month before coloring.
Ease: Do not overdo it with styling products. It is enough to use a gel for the ends of the hair and a spray or mousse for styling. Apply varnish only on important occasions. And in the evening, be sure to wash off the styling products.
Masks: Once a week, nourish your hair with hand-made or special masks.
Rinse: For brown and red hair, add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and rinse your hair with this cider after washing. Vinegar has an incredible softening effect. Blondes can brew chamomile for these purposes.
