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.
