Shine-Enhancing
Use shampoos and conditioners that specifically say” shine enhancing” or “moisturizing”. In addition, once a week use an acidic finishing rinse after you wash your hair. The acids will tighten the outer layer of hair cuticle and allow light to bounce to off the smoothed cuticle yielding shine.

Make your Own Acidic Rinse
Beer: Shampoo hair and rinse. Pour 1 bottle of beer through hair and massage. Rinse thoroughly with cold water. Your hair will be shinier and have more body to it.

Lemon Juice: Shampoo hair and rinse. Mix some lemon juice with 1.5 cups of water and pour throughout hair. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and your hair will be shinier.

Correct Hair pH and remove residue: Shampoo hair and rinse. Mix juice from half a lemon, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of water. Massage mixture throughout hair and scalp. Rinse with cold water. Lemon juice may slightly lighten hair, eliminate if you do not want this to happen.

Deep-Conditioning
Apply a deep conditioner once a week to protect the outer layer of hair and increase shine. You may want to do this twice a week if your hair takes a lot of abuse from styling or being outside a lot. A great hair mask will increase shine, moisturize your hair so it is healthy again and make your hair soft and glossy.

Fight the Frizzies:

For a mirror like finish use product whether it is a crème, serum or spray. Sprays are better for thin hair, while crèmes and serums are better for thick or coarse hair. To avoid getting the weighed-down look, apply the product 1.5 inches from the root. Be careful with silicone sprays as they will leave a film on hair and will take away any shine that you have.

Blow Drying Basics:

Ionic and ceramic brushes prevent static, frizz and color fading, so invest in one. Plus negative ions speed up the evaporation process, so your hair will be dry in half the time.
Use the nozzle on your hair dryer, as it will allow you to focus the heat in one direction of the hair. Make sure you have a high speed, minimum 1800Watts with a “cool” air button. T3 products are great.
Make sure you aim your blow dryer down the hair shaft. Aiming up the cuticle pushing the cuticle up and produces frizz. When your hair is almost dry, use the cool shot button to seal the cuticle to keep your hair smooth and silky.
If you use flat irons make sure you have a ceramic one. This will keep your hair from getting that fried dried out look.
If you have wavy or curly hair use a diffuser with built in “fingertips”.
