Shiny hair is all the rage this season here are some tips to help you achieve that look.

This is the first step toward achieving shiny hair;

If your hair is fine: Stick with products that won't weigh down your hair. Flat hair can look dull. Try a gentle or volumizing shampoo and a detangler, which is lighter than conditioner.

If your hair is curly or thick: It's probably on the dry side. To see more shine, you have to boost your hair's moisture level. Opt for shampoos and conditioners that are nourishing, and treat yourself to a deep-conditioning treatment every few days.

If your hair is color-treated: You've already made a major effort to boost shine by coloring your hair. To keep the color true and your hair looking silky, use a shampoo and conditioner designed for chemically treated hair. They're milder than other shampoos because they don't contain as many hair-stripping detergents. Every few days, replace your color-care hair products with a shampoo or conditioner that deposits a small amount of shine-boosting color onto your hair. Many salons will create or custom-blend these for you.
