Girl, we know that having a glossy mane like Dua Lipa’s is something that drives you crazy (us too!), so today we bring you the keys to make your hair shine on its own.
First things first, have you ever wondered why hair shines? You might think it’s some super complicated scientific thing, but actually, the explanation is super simple: your hair shines because it reflects the light it receives, and this is thanks to the keratin present in the cuticle.
Now, whether it shines more or less depends on how straight your hair is, its color, how sealed the cuticle of the hair fiber is, and therefore, how healthy your mane is.
How to Understand My Hair?
Straight hair, having a more uniform surface, will always look much shinier than curly hair. Similarly, a dark mane will reflect more light than one with blonde or reddish tones.
On the other hand, if your hair is damaged, the hair fiber will have lost its compact structure and there will be areas with lifted cuticles, allowing light to penetrate through those small holes. This prevents light from reflecting, making your hair look dull. That’s why bleached hair or hair subjected to chemical treatments that damage the fiber is much harder to make shiny and beautiful.
How to Make My Hair Shine?
But bestie, not all is lost! Here are the keys to having a glossy, glowy, dewy, and super shiny mane:
💁🏼♀️ Keep your hair healthy: Avoid bleaching, chemical treatments that can damage your hair, and the high temperatures of styling tools (and if you can’t live without them, apply South Bondi first).
✂️ If your hair is damaged, cut it short and use reconstructive fiber treatments like Sublime 10·31 or Bae Berry, you’ll fall in love with them!
✨ Nourish your hair: obviously, a super nourished mane will look way shinier than one that’s lacking lipids. Plus, this lack of nourishment makes frizz more noticeable, damages the hair, and leaves it looking dull and lifeless. Your MUST-haves are L’Essentiel Mask and Cotton Lust, which will help fill in those little gaps in the hair fiber, creating a more compact and even structure so your hair can reflect light like crazy.
