Shiny Hair for Humid Days
by Lisa Kovalovich

Shiny Happy Hair

As we welcome the summer days, we also face the damp, muggy air that comes with them. If humidity usually does a number on your hair, taking it from shiny to fuzzy, try these ideas to bring your shine back.
Shine Solution 1: Use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Dry, damaged hair is more likely to both frizz and look dull. A shampoo and conditioner with softening, conditioning ingredients will keep hair healthy and encourage shine.
Shine Solution 2: Prep hair with shine serum. After you shower, while hair is still quite wet, apply a silicone-based shine serum on areas prone to dullness. Apply your regular styling product on top.
Shine Solution 3: Dry hair correctly. If your hair is straight, use a natural-bristle brush and a blowdryer on medium heat to dry hair straight. If hair is curly, form curls with your fingers when hair is still wet, then use a diffuser or let hair dry naturally. Once hair is dry, no matter what the texture, keep your hands away from it.
Shine Solution 4: Go for artificial gleam. After hair is dry, cheat a little by spritzing a shine serum all over locks, concentrating on areas that are still dull-looking.
