How to get more shine

The amount of shine your hair has is directly related to its health—there’s no doubt about that. Healthy hair is smooth, because all of the cuticles are intact and lying down. This creates an uninterrupted surface on each hair fiber – and the light reflected is more focused. The more focused this reflected light is, the shinier and more vibrant your hair appears. Think of each cuticle like a tiny mirror—and your hair is filled with them. Whole mirrors easily reflect light, and on hair that reflection is called shine. But the cracks and rough edges of a broken mirror scatter light. On hair this scattered light is caused by the rough edges on chipped, damaged cuticles—the result of strenuous brushing and styling—and it’s what makes hair appear dull. Dirty hair can also appear dull, so it’s best to start with clean, healthy hair to get the most shine. Then you’ll want to use a conditioner that helps restore and protect, like Pantene Nourisehd Shine Conditioner, which will help prevent damage. Finally, you should add a product that provides vibrancy and hold to your hair care routine. You can try Always Smooth Hairspray – it helps you maintain your look, even in high humidity.
