Celebs, they are just like us… except for the fact that their locks are way shinier than ours have ever been! We don’t know whether it’s the pollution we face on our daily commute, or the staggering amount of hair products that we use, but our tresses often get dull and damaged. However, we’ve found 5 easy tips to get the glossy sheen we deserve!

1. Clarify Your Hair

Oils, mousses, gels – our locks are basically a nest of styling products. Lather up with a clarifying shampoo to extract all the gunk and build-up to keep your hair healthy.

2. Skip The Frizz

With all the humidity in the air, your tresses are bound to get frizzy. Smooth on a lightweight serum to protect your hair and keep the cowlicks at bay.

3. Brush It Out

Tangled hair can detract shine instantly. Ease up the knots by brushing your hair daily after a shower. Use a natural bristle brush to distribute your hair’s natural oils evenly for a glossy finish.

4. Spray On

Shine-enhancing sprays are instant saviours. Mist these products on to your fingers, and run them through the mid-lengths and ends of your locks. The result? Natural-looking, lustrous strands.

5. Consider Gloss

For a more permanent solution, use a clear gloss to amp up the shine of your tresses. For coloured hair, you can even choose a gloss that’s the same shade as your dye.
