Here are some tricks to help you get salon-like shiny hair at home.

Tips To Get Salon Like Shiny Hair At Home

Comb When Hair Is Wet, Brush When Dry

Achieve silky soft hair by starting with a gentle detangling process. Use a wide-toothed comb on damp hair, being mindful of its fragile state when wet. Avoid using a brush on wet hair, as it can cause breakage, damage the outer layer, and lead to frizz, split ends, and breakage. Instead, reserve brushing for when your hair is dry.

Use A Cotton T-shirt Instead Of Towel To Dry Your Hair

Gentle hair drying is key to achieving silky locks. Traditional towel-rubbing creates friction, lifting the hair cuticle and leading to knots, breakage, and frizz.

Instead, try a smarter approach: swap your towel for a soft, smooth cotton T-shirt. Wrap it around your hair's ends and gently squeeze out excess water. Then, work from roots to ends, patting – not rubbing – to minimize breakage and prevent tangles and frizz. This simple switch can make a world of difference in the health and appearance of your hair.

Do Not Wash Your Hair With Hot Water

For sleeker, smoother hair, make the switch to cold water washing. Although it can be challenging, especially in colder months, the benefits are well worth the effort. Hot water opens up the hair cuticle, leading to rougher texture and frizz, while cold water helps seal the cuticles, encouraging strands to lie flat and resulting in a healthier, more radiant appearance. Try incorporating cold water into your hair care routine for a tried-and-true trick to achieving silky locks.
