13 simple ways to make your hair shiny
TRANSCRIPT
I think we all agree that having a natural hair that is always glossy is an excellent thing.
However maintaining your hair naturally shiny beyond the toddler years is not always
easy.
While some people can have a natural hair all their life for others, this remains but a
dream.
Fortunately, there are many ways that you can get back that soft and shiny hair that
you so much desire. There are natural ways of getting your shiny hair back, and the
use of hair products is also another option. The following are 13 of these simple ways
to make your hair shiny.
1. Coconut oil treatment
Coconut oil has many health benefits, and it can also be used to make your hair shiny.
This is probably the reason many hair products have coconut as one of their main
ingredients. To make your hair shiny, all you will need to do is massage dry hair with
coconut oil, wash it with warm water and then condition it.

2. Egg/Mayonnaise deep treatment
You can use either eggs or mayonnaise depending on what is available as they both
have the same effect. To use this method, you will need to crack 2-4 eggs into a bowl
depending on your hair size. Add some olive oil to the eggs and then apply the
mixture to your shampooed hair.
3. Flat-Iron your hair
There are very many hairstyles that you can use on your hair, but flat-iron is perhaps
one of the most popular ones. This style can also be used to make your hair shiny as it
creates more surface for light to reflect. However, you should be careful not to use too
much heat on your hair as this might do more harm than good.

4. Always wash your hair wisely
All hairs are not the same which means that you should wash and rinse yours
accordingly. Light hair, for example, is porous and more susceptible to build up and
so the cleaner the hair the shinier it will be. Red hair or brunette will shine more when
they are well conditioned.
5. Using silicone
Silicone does magic to your hair, and it is probably one of the most effective ways to
make your hair shine. However, you should master how to use it and use it according
to your hair type to get the best results from it. For example, if you have a thin hair
then a silicone spray would work fine. For thick hair, you might need to apply it by
hand when the hair is damp.
6. Beer hair rinse
This is another easy way to make your hair shiny, and beer is easy to come by even if
you don't drink alcohol. The hops used in beer for flavoring contain silica that will
strengthen and add luster to your hair. Apply beer to a cleansed hair then massage it
for a few minutes before cleaning and conditioning your hair.

7. Use honey
Just like coconut honey is a very common ingredient in hair products, and it can also
be used to make your hair shiny. It is very easy to use honey as all you need to do is to
add a tablespoon to one cup of water and spray the mixture on your hair.
8. Apple Cider Vinegar deep treatment
If you do not have a bottle of apple cider vinegar at home, then it is the high time you
bought one. Besides from making your hair shiny it also make it stronger and healthy.
Apply apple cider vinegar to a thoroughly washed hair and leave it for quarter and
hour. After the fifteen minutes rinse your hair with warm water and repeat this weekly
for a permanent gloss.
9. Vegetable oil and conditioner
You can also make your hair shiny with vegetable oils by mixing it with your usual
conditioner. Add two tablespoon of vegetable oil to your conditioner and then rub
through the hair to saturate it with the mixture. Leave it in for half an hour before
rinsing it thoroughly. However, you should avoid using too much oil as it will make
your hair look oily.

10. Yoghurt
Yoghurt anti-fungal and antibacterial properties that help to make your hair healthier.
One of the characteristics of healthy hair is a glossy appearance. To treat your hair
with yoghurt apply plain yoghurt on your hair and leave it there for an hour or until
when it hardens. Rinse it with warm water and condition it with a quality conditioner.
11. Herbal hair rinse
There are many herbs tart you can choose, but rosemary and lavender will work
perfectly fine. However, when using a herb rinse you have to set aside some time to
prepare the liquid as it takes a couple of hours. Once it is ready and cold, you should
apply it to clean hair and leave it for some time before rinsing your hair with some
warm water.
12. Keratin treatment
For this one, you will probably have to visit a beauty parlor but the results are worth
the effort and time. This process also known as the Brazilian blowout typically takes
one and a half hours. It involves ironing and adding a smoothing agent onto the hair
surface. This will give your hair gloss that lasts for a couple of weeks.
13. Avoid damaging practices
If you can be able to avoid natural hair damaging practices, you will never have to
worry about how to make your hair shine again. There are some ingredients in hair
products and hair color agents that damage your hair and make it look dull. Avoid
non-organic chemicals and you should also not wash out all the conditioner from the
hair when cleaning it. You can also go for leave-in conditioners if you find it difficult
to leave some conditioner in your hair when washing.
There are many products and home remedies you can use to make your hair shiny, but
their effectiveness will be determined by how you do it. Understand your hair well
and choose your products wisely and you will always be assured of a shiny natural
hair.
