How To Get Shiny And Healthy Long Hair?

Don't you love it when you feel as if your hair looks so good, you might've just stepped out of a shampoo commercial? You imagine yourself stopping traffic as you strut your stuff down the street - wind whipping through your long, glistening tresses. 

1. Use a leave-in conditioner.

Regular conditioners are great, but if you really want to pump up the shine, Shorter recommends adding a leave-in conditioner to your routine. These come in both spray-on and lotion forms.

2. Wash with cool water.

Beware of hot water! It can dry out your hair like Peruvian loose deep and leave it dull. Instead, after shampooing and conditioning, rinse with cool water. It closes the cuticle. And that allows light to reflect off the hair, producing lots of shine.

3. Spray on the shine.

When your hair is dry, finish your look with a spray-on shine product. Shorter recommends spray mists made by Ojon and Pantene. Whether it comes in a pump bottle or aerosol can, a shine spray can be misted onto dry hair - no matter what texture it is - to give it an extra glistening effect.

4. Invest in a good hairbrush

You have a lot of hair to brush, so it’s well worth buying a quality hairbrush for your hair. The best kind to buy is natural bristle brushes with rounded bristles and look for a brush that is firm but still gentle enough that it won’t pull on your hair too much. It’s also worth having a wide-toothed comb for painlessly easing out any tangles.

5. Air-dry your hair, when possible

The best way to dry your hair like Malaysian loose body wave hair is to let it dry naturally. Too much heat can damage any type of hair, but when you have long hair, it is even more tempting to turn dryers up to full blast to get the job done quicker. It’s far better to gently pat your hair dry with a towel and let the fresh air do the rest.

5. Trim your hair regularly

Another tip on how to keep long hair healthy is regular trimming. Though the myth that cutting your hair makes it grow faster isn’t true, it does help to keep your long hair looking neat and tidy. You should be getting a trim every six to eight weeks to trim off any split ends and keep your hair looking smart.

6. Don’t wear your hair too tight

Sever, tight styles like ponytails or braids can damage long hair and the safest style for long hair is just to let it down. You can keep your hair off your face by using headbands, but if you keep tying up your Brazilian virgin hair bundles with closure, you will damage it.

7. Don’t color your hair too often

Hair dyes contain many harsh chemicals that can damage your hair, so the best advice is to stick with the color that nature gave you. If you do color your hair, then only have it done when it really needs it, and avoid the temptation to change your hair color too often, just because you’re bored, especially avoid colors that need bleach.
