Answer 1

I have heard that after showering if you rinse your hair with cold water it seals in the shine.....might be cold but maybe give it a shot

Answer 2

The best way is to rinse off the conditioner with warm water, then blast it with ice cold water for 30 secs or as long as you can stand it - it shuts the cuticles after the shampoo and hot water have opened them. Leave your conditioner on for 5 mins if you want super shiny hair, and if you're having a really frizzy day, leave it on for an hour and wrap it in a towel or cling film. When you wash it out, it'll be super glossy - just make sure you rinse thoroughly with warm water before you give it that blast of cold!

Other than that, don't use a hairdrier unless its absolutely necessary, and when you do, please ensure you protect it with a heat spray (I know it's more money but it helps!). Also, Aussie Leave-In Conditioner spray is a godsend for smoothing down hair. When you do blow-dry, finish off with a blast of cold air, or shake your hair outside (if its cold!) to let all the heat out of it. Leaving your hair hot after it's blow-dried only encourages the frizziness to make a comeback. If you can, only blow dry your hair until the point where it is no longer dripping. Drying it completely banishes all the natural moistures and again, makes your hair look crazily frizzy!

Here are some tips:

As mentioned before - use cool water as a final rinse.

Pat your hair dry, don't rub the towel rigorously as this will roughen the hair shaft.

Try to let your hair dry naturally. Avoid putting too much product in your hair (avoids product build up which leads to dullness).

If you need to use the hair dryer - use a warmish setting and aim the air downwards. Again you could use the cool setting at the end when it's nearly dry to avoid drying your hair out.

Try not to over brush your hair and if it's windy outside tie it up so it doesn't get all knotted.

Answer 4

Make a rosemary infusion. I do this often to make my hair extra shiny.

Mix rosemary with hot water and leave to cool (probably best in fridge). When its cold use as the last rinse once hair has been through wash/condition process to seal in the shine.

Answer 5

If ur hair is looking dull u probly wash it way to much,see everyone has unique hair,some people have to wash is every day and some people cant cause it will damage it way to much.Some people cant even wash it in3 days straight because it just dries it out,i know it kinda gross but try not washin it for a couple of days.

Answer 6

Hi, my old gran used to say a handful of Rosemary,in ajar of hot water.Leave for 2hours strain the bits out and use in your final rinse,she always did it and i have to say her hair was like a mirror.She also used a real silk hanky to smooth it after it was dry.I do use the Rosemary and i have never had to use a conditioner. Hope this helps you.

Answer 7

As hard as it is to believe, product won't make your hair better. It makes it more manageable, but it makes it really weird feeling. I would recommend not taking a shower everyday. You have natural oils in your hair and when you take a shower they go away. Don't wrap your hair in a towel after a shower because it zaps the moisture.

Answer 8

Home remedies all may seem gross, but do work. You can put mayo in your hair in the shower and wash out majority of it. Eggs will work the same. You can also just leave a little bit of conditioner in your hair not rinsing it out.

Answer 9

A good conditioning treatment is egg whites on your hair,

For glossy hair use olive oil,

To bring out the natural highlights mix camomile flowers with boiling water and leave this to cool and use it as a final rinse on your hair,

Mayonaisse is meant to be goodfor dry hair,
