How to Keep Your Hair Healthy and Shiny
If there’s one thing everyone wants to know, it’s how to keep your hair healthy and shiny. When your hair looks good, you feel good — it can transform your whole mood and outlook. But with so many products out there, it’s easy to get confused. Do they really work? Are they necessary?
Let’s talk about some easy ways to make sure your hair looks beautiful all year round — no products required.
1. Be Mindful with Straighteners and Curling Wands
We all love styling our hair, but daily use of hot tools can lead to serious damage. While your strands might look shiny right after, high heat breaks down the hair’s structure over time. Use tools on lower settings and always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to avoid long-term damage.
2. Keep Your Hair Away from the Pool
Pools are loaded with chemicals like chlorine, which can strip colour, cause dryness, and make your hair appear dull. If you’re swimming regularly, tie your hair up or wear a swim cap to protect your strands. This is especially important if you have highlights or wear extensions.
3. Try a Clarifying Shampoo (But Not Too Often)
Over time, your hair accumulates product build-up from shampoos, conditioners, and styling sprays. A good clarifying shampoo can deep-clean your scalp and restore shine by removing residue. Just don’t overdo it — once every 2–4 weeks is enough. Your stylist can recommend the best frequency for your hair type.
4. Eat Well & Reduce Stress
What you eat — and how you live — has a big impact on your hair. High stress, poor sleep, or low protein intake can all result in dull, lifeless strands. Try to boost hair growth naturally by:
- Eating protein-rich foods like fish, chicken, and eggs
- Staying hydrated throughout the day
- Getting 7–8 hours of sleep
- Managing stress through exercise or mindfulness
Your hair is a reflection of your overall wellness. Treat your body with care,
