Quick Tips for Shinier, Springier Hair

  • For a deep-conditioning steam warp, shampoo, rinse well, and apply conditioner. Dip a towel in hot water, wring it out and wrap hair in it. Relax in a steamy tub. The combination of the wrap and the bath steam will open up your hair cuticle so that the conditioner penetrates more deeply. After about fifteen minutes, rinse.

  • “Don’t shampoo very
    curly hair everyday”

  • Don’t shampoo very curly hair everyday–once or twice a week should be sufficient. On other days, rinse with water apply a light leave-in conditioner, if need be.

  • To minimize the frizziness in very curly hair, apply a leave-in conditioner with silicone after washing. To restore any curl that the silicone takes away, coil sections around your index and middle fingers . Then, don’t touch hair until it’s 100% dry. Let air-dry or diffuse from 3 to 4 inches away.

  • Enhance shine with a bit of silicone-based product. After washing, place one drop in the palm of your hand, rub hands together and, starting at the ends, work your way up the shaft, avoiding roots. A volumizing conditioner will thicken fine hair and make it manageable.

  • If your hair is so fine, it tends to fall limp and flat, try conditioning it before you shampoo. Leave on a few minutes and wash. Hair won’t be weighed down by conditioner left on strands.

  • Adopt a habit of cold-water rinses. They help close the cuticle, and the flatter the cuticle, the shinier the hair.

  • Try a moisturizing shampoo to gently cleanse and add welcome hydration to dry hair.

  • If your hair is fine, thin, short and not dry , skip conditioner altogether.
