Hydration: the essential step for shiny hair

Well-hydrated hair is supple, soft, and shiny hair. This of course starts with good hydration from the inside out: drinking enough water every day helps provide your body, and therefore your scalp, with the necessary nutrients. But hydration also comes from the outside with suitable care, such as a conditioner or amoisturizing mask, which will nourish the hair fiber in depth. The choice of accessories also plays a key role. Abrush with natural boar bristles, for example, helps distribute the scalp's natural oils throughout the length of the hair, moisturizing it and making it naturally shinier.

Protect your hair from external aggressions

The sun, the heat of styling appliances or even overly aggressive products are all factors that weaken the hair fiber and dull the hair. To preserve its shine, it is essential to adopt a few simple reflexes.In summer, wear a hat or use hair care products with sun protection.After each wash, rinsing with cold water will close the hair cuticle and intensify its shine. When it comes to styling, it's best to limit the use of hair dryers or straighteners, which dehydrate the fiber and accentuate its dull appearance. Finally, choose gentle products, free from harsh sulfates, that are suited to your hair type.

Diet and well-being: allies for shiny hair

Hair beauty also comes from the plate. A diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids helps strengthen hair fibers and boost their natural shine. Fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and oily fish are all good options to incorporate into your diet. Similarly, stress has a direct impact on hair health. Learning to manage it through relaxing activities or exercise not only helps you feel better, but also helps preserve your hair's vitality. If in doubt, or if your hair remains dull despite all these efforts, it may be helpful to consult a professional to detect a possible deficiency or hormonal imbalance.

Reviving the shine of dull hair requires, above all, consistency and attention. Proper hydration, appropriate care, protection against external aggressions, and a healthy lifestyle are the keys to regaining luminous, vibrant hair. With a little patience and the right techniques, you'll quickly see the difference; your hair will regain its natural shine.
