1. Establish a hair care routine
“When styling, it’s important to treat your hair with the same care and precision you would with skincare or makeup,” says Corby. “Start with a scalp care treatment, hydrating mask, or smoothing treatment to remove unwanted frizz and create a smooth base, then use a hair-strengthening shampoo and shine-enhancing conditioner to prepare your hair for heat styling. Make sure you are well prepared.”
When it comes to styling, Kobe recommends using foundation products (mousses, creams, serums, etc.) to smooth and protect your hair. “The final step is to apply a top coat product to lock in the shine,” he added. Or if you have fine hair type, we recommend using a serum and then using a light finishing spray to fix the look. ”

2. Use build-up removal products
Just as deep cleansing is an essential part of your skin care routine for glowing, smooth skin, the same principle applies to your hair. “My favorite wash-day hair care routine for shiny hair always starts with a detoxifying hair mask.

By removing build-up, detoxifying masks help your hair better absorb moisture.” You can.”

4. Reduce fever
Shiny hair is an indicator of healthy hair, so focus on ensuring your hair is healthy and moisturized (and therefore has a natural shine) rather than simply covering up dullness with finishing products. is much better. According to Corby, one of the biggest things to keep in mind is to avoid exposing your hair to high or unnecessary temperatures.
“Higher heat settings can cause unnecessary damage, so instead use a heat protectant, lower the temperature, and use the tool multiple times if necessary,” he explains . “Adjust the heat according to the texture, thickness, and density of your hair. The thinner the hair, the lower the heat.”
“One of the biggest mistakes people make is styling hair that isn’t completely dry,” he added. “Remaining moisture can cause frizz, dullness, and an uneven blowdry. So always make sure your hair is completely dry before applying heat. If you think it’s dry, , feel your hair getting a little colder. If you notice any areas that feel cold, there’s still some moisture left in your hair that could cause damage during heat styling.

This innovative hair dryer operates at lower temperatures than traditional models, but uses light technology to only dry water droplets on the surface of your hair (rather than drying the hair itself). This protects the moisture inside each hair, resulting in healthier, smoother, and shinier hair.
