Shine-deprived hair: Causes
Even though I’m not an expert in hairdressing, I’ve cut my comb’s teeth on hair and I’ve learnt this and that thanks to running this blog. Did I also find out what the causes of shine-deprived hair are? I have a few remarks to pass.

- too much stress-triggering situations
- improper hair care practices and hair styling
How to boost hair shine and keep it that way for longer?
It should be realized that there’s a potential hidden in each hair, and it’s worth fighting for it. And in most cases this fight requires using other ‘weapons’ than just a shine boost spray – this will only cover up the problem. The natural hair shine has to be drawn out by putting your entire heart into hair care.
Here are several ideas that will help you understand how to boost hair shine easily, quickly and – what’s the most important – effectively!
1. MIND YOUR HAIRÂ
Hair that shines is hair that is healthy – mind the condition of your hair by treating it with natural oils, conditioners, maks and scalp lotions. If you supply the strands with essential nutrients (also by consuming the right food products) and keep hydration at the adequate level, you will bring the natural hair shine out easily.
2. PROVIDE SUN PROTECTION
It appears that the sun has the biggest impact on the hair appearance – the more often we expose strands to UV rays, the faster they are to lose shine. Of course, there is a way to prevent the adverse effects of sun exposure – apply natural oils, mists and lotions that shield hair from sun and delay photoageing.
3. COMB AND MASSAGE REGULARLY
A good way of revitalizing hair and restoring its lost shine is regular hair combing and scalp massaging. What can you achieve with it? Both really simple procedures improve blood flow in scalp which results in stronger hair follicles. This in turn has its consequence in thicker and shiny hair.
4. APPLY A CONDITIONER ONCE YOU FINISH HAIR WASHING
If you care for having shiny hair, you must remember about one crucial issue – always apply a conditioner once you finish washing the hair. In this way not only will you protect the hair from damage and moisture loss but also you will smooth it out and leave the strands shiny.
5. CLEAN THE HAIR THOROUGHLY
Just few know that the best way to enhance hair shine is possible to achieve thanks to cleaning the strand and scalp thoroughly. Frequently, the appearance of hair is affected by the residues of hair styling products that create build-ups – they weaken hair and disturb proper scalp functioning.
How to boost hair shine quickly?
For those of you who are looking for some fast-working remedies to deal with matte hair, here are a few proven tricks to try out today. These are the ultra fast methods to enhance your natural hair shine. Despite being effective, the results achieved are just temporary.
- Hair shine sprays. Equip yourself with a hair spray containing particles that bounce off sunlight. Use it to give extra shiny hold you the hair.
- Vinegar hair wash/cool water. When you finish washing your hair, rinse it with an acidic hair wash. For example, you can use raspberry hair wash or just rinse the hair using cool water. The effects should be comparable since both liquids help smooth out hair surface (i.g. close cuticles) which translates into boosted hair shine.
- A dash of oil for hair ends. Take a few drops of a natural oil, spread it on palms and apply to the hair ends to achieve smoothness and this desired hair shine.
- Liquid silk instead of conditioner. After hair washing and before blow drying, pick up a drop of liquid silk and apply it to hair. You will notice how smooth and shiny it becomes really fast.
