Shiny Hair Is Three Steps Away…

If you watched my first ever Q&A and get ready with me, you would have seen that the number one question was about my haircare routine. A lot of you want to know the secret to shiny, thick and voluminous hair and it’s also a topic I want to be covering more here on The Silk Sneaker. Today, I specifically wanted to give you guys hair tips on how to get shiny hair. There are three tricks I’ve learnt over the years for bringing the shine back to your hair that I think will make a real difference to your haircare routine!

1.End With A Cold Water Rinse

Washing your hair with water that is too warm can damage your hair or make it flat and lifeless. A great way to bring that extra dose of shine to your locks is to make sure that your last rinse in the shower is with cold water. Although it always makes me shiver, it’s worth the shine. This is actually a hair trick I learnt growing up back in India!

2. Lock In That Moisture

I always find that my hair loses its shine when there isn’t enough moisture. Conditioner sometimes can only do so much, and your hair needs that something extra. All my life I’ve oiled my hair back in India but since I moved to London I didn’t have as much time for my usual routine. Instead, I found two products that really helped take my shine that extra mile. I use the Gisou Hair Oil on the ends of my hair, especially when it’s wet. This is because the oil helps lock in the moisture of your wet hair. For that extra special treat, I use the Gisou honey hair mask (generously!). It’s the perfect way to add volume and bounce back to your shiny hair! Also a great hair mask for damaged hair.

3. Use The Right Shampoo for Clean Hair

If there’s anything my mother taught me, it’s that clean hair equals shiny, healthy hair. You have to keep your hair clean, which means using the right shampoo to do so. I had written a post about some of my favourite shampoos a while ago, but I would add two heroes to that list. Firstly, the Ouai Clean shampoo is great if you have a dry scalp and thick hair like me. It really helps clean your hair and make it shiny. If you’re really serious about your haircare though, I would recommend Function of Beauty. They create a completely customised blend of shampoo and conditioner specifically for your hair and hair goals; that’s how you take care of your locks and get the shiny hair you’ve dreamed of!

So, how do you keep your hair shiny? Will you try any of my tips?
