What can I do to get shiny hair?

Hair is rarely naturally shiny. Your hair’s shine requires daily upkeep using special products and routines. Here’s a look at the techniques to use every day to get that perfect shine.
 
The products you use will vary depending on whether you have coloured or natural hair. People with coloured hair need to use special treatments as the colour isn’t their own. Salon colours are of perfect quality, but they need to be looked after. This helps to keep your hair looking shiny. “Use masks, shampoos and other products designed for coloured hair on a daily basis .”
 
If you have kept your natural colour, you also need to look after your hair ever day for long-lasting shine. “To stop your hair colour going dull, keep your hair hydrated. Use leave-in products such as serums” and bi-phase treatments, these are perfect for daily use. Apply to wet or dry hair. To make your hydrating treatments more effective, alternate with shampoos designed for your hair type.
 
Keratin works wonders for all hair types“, regardless of whether it is coloured and regardless of the base colour. Keratin-based treatments give your hair a soft and silky finish. “Jean Louis David’s Keratin Therapy salon treatment” produces a daily shine, regenerating hair and making it more manageable.”
 
Our tip: “Straightening treatments are a great way to make hair shiny.” These straighten the hair and smooth out the cuticles, giving your hair an irresistible shine. For maximum hold and shine, “spray a layer of hairspray across your hair.”
