Don’t be too repetitive
Have you ever noticed how shiny your hair looks after switching to a new product? We’re not saying you should use something new every time you wash and condition, but changing things up from time to time can give your hair a new shine. A change every month or two is enough.
Also, it’s a good idea to alternate between a high-protein conditioner and an ultra-moisturizing conditioner. The key to super beautiful and healthy hair is the balance between the two, so alternating gives your mane the best of both worlds. Moisture-rich products contain oils, shortenings, and humectants, as well as fatty alcohols such as cetyl and stearyl. High-protein conditioners are, you guessed it, fortified with proteins like keratin and amino acids.
Wear a shower cap
If you’re deep conditioning hair, opt for a shower cap on your mop while you wait for the time to elapse. This is particularly effective if you’re already in the shower, as the warm, steamy water will warm the air inside the cap and help the deep conditioner penetrate to the center of the shaft. It also prevents the water from washing out the conditioner before you’re ready to rinse it out.
