Shine is light reflecting off a smooth hair cuticle, so the goal is to keep that cuticle flat. Start by finishing every wash with a short rinse of cool water, which helps seal the surface of each strand.
Cut back on heat styling and always use a protective spray when you do. Once a week, a mask of yogurt and a spoon of honey, left on for twenty minutes, adds moisture without weighing hair down.
Finally, brush less but better: a boar bristle brush spreads natural oils from root to tip and gives a soft, healthy gloss.
