Want shiny hair?

Tired of dull, drab hair? Buff up with these top tips from fab stylist, Robert Eaton

1 Ask your salon about glossing and styling products that are ldeal for your hair type.

2 Boost your hair condition by drinking lots of water and eating a balanced diet and lots of fruit.

3 Try a new colour technique to mimic the way natural and artificial light highlights the hair.

4 Use a serum to even out the surface of the hair and lock in that all-important shine.

5 Hunt out a high-quality summer sun product range for cleansing, conditioning and styling your hair. They contain UV protection which prevents the damage that causes fading.

6 Use shine sprays for great gloss. Spritz on to your finished style for a brilliant mirror finish.

7 Tatty brushes can damage your hair. Invest in a natural bristle brush for gentle grooming.

8 When blowdrying, make sure you use a nozzle and direct the heat down the hair shaft to seal the hair’s cuticles and lock in your hair’s reflective qualities.

9 Use the best shampoos, conditioners, treatments and styling products you can afford.   

10 Keep a small pot of serum with you at all times so that you can smooth those flyaway ends.

11 If you’re a twirly girl, use a curl-specific product to define your ringlets and encourage sheen.

12 Try a glossing colouring treat to improve shine. Your stylist will know what hue will suit you!

13 Trim your hair regularly – split ends will always make your hair look dull and dry.

14 Protect your hair from the sun or when on a sunbed with a UV-protector spritz or large hat.

15 For the best colour-shine results, go only two to three shades lighter than your natural colour.

16 Try a colour-rich shampoo for topping up your shade and giving you luminosity!

17 Go for an in-salon shine and glossing technique for a special occasion.

18 Have a professional conditioning treatment when getting a cut to replenish moisture.

19 Colour is a must for glossy hair – adding a new tone instantly makes your hair look brighter.

20 Hold back on styling products – too many can make your hair look dull.
