5 Tips For Shiny Hair

Beautiful hair can be short or long, thick or thin, but something that all beautiful hair has is shine. Having soft shiny hair makes you look healthy and radiant.

In today’s article, we will share some of the most important ways to nourish your hair and to give it proper care, making it much shinier in a matter of days.

Brush your hair daily for shiny hair

Maybe your grandmother once told you that you should brush your hair 100 times before going to bed.

Today, the advice sounds like the beginning of an adventure, but this old saying contains a scientific fact: when you brush your hair repeatedly, it will gently stimulate the blood circulation in the scalp and distribute the natural oils you produce, which will moisturize the hair from the roots of the tips.

You should choose a brush with natural bristles to get the healthiest results, because it will be more beneficial for the scalp and also feel more comfortable.

Start by brushing from the forehead to the back, and do the same from the neck upwards. This will give a comfortable, relaxing feeling.

Brushing just two minutes a day is enough, and soon you will notice the amazing results.

Massage the scalp

We suggested this in the previous tip, because massaging the scalp is important for having shiny, healthy hair.

This is also another way to improve circulation and nourish the scalp deeply, as it is often the one that suffers the most from stress during the day.

Press the fingertips of both hands against your head and move them in small circles. Do this with a light pressure.

Start around the forehead and move slowly backwards and down towards the neck.

You can do this at any time during the day, either when you feel a little tension in your head, or you can just alternate it with when you normally brush your hair every other day.

Use coconut oil

• Vegetable oils will undoubtedly help to hydrate your hair naturally without any added chemicals normally found in shampoos and conditioners (which also only promise short-term results)

• The problem with vegetable oils, on the other hand, is that they can cause the hair to look greasy or unkempt, thanks to its high fat content.
• The solution is to use coconut oil instead, because, despite its oily texture, it is absorbed very easily and it regulates the production of sebum naturally
• You can apply it just before or after washing your hair. Apply it only from the center of the hair down to the ends
• Use a very small amount
• Then brush your hair so that the oil is evenly distributed

Cleansing with vinegar

Another good trick you can do at home is to use vinegar as a conditioner. Vinegar will not only give shine and nourishment to your hair, it will also regulate the natural pH value that often changes when you use chemical hair products.

You need one part apple cider vinegar mixed with three parts water. Let it sit for a minute before rinsing it out.

You do not have to worry about the smell of vinegar, because it will disappear when your hair dries. But if it really bothers you, try adding a few drops of the essential oil that is your favorite to the mixture.

Eat healthy fats

Shiny hair is the result of proper nutrition. Fat is the key to achieving this result, but you should only eat the good types of fats, which are the ones that nourish your skin and hair.

What are they?

• Vegetable oils that have been cold pressed: olives, coconut, sesame seeds, flax seeds, wheat germ, sunflower, and so on
• Nuts
• Seed
• Avocado
• Egg yolk
• Fish
• Natural yogurt

Do not forget to drink plenty of water during the day, especially in the early morning. Healthy hair is associated with healthy kidneys, and when you drink water it will help to take care of your hair from the inside.
