Best Kept Secrets for Healthy HairLearn how to keep your hair shiny, soft and bouncy by stealing these expert tricks |
Aside from the obvious, superficial allure of shiny, healthy hair, there is a deeper, more anthropological explanation of why it appeals to men. Interestingly enough, one accurate indicator of health is hair. Healthy women have lustrous, shiny healthy hair, whereas the hair of sickly people loses its luster. So there you have it -- men prefer to procreate with healthy women (with shiny, sexy hair to boot).
But after wreaking havoc on our hair from habitual blowouts, bleaching and beyond -- is our hair shiny? Um, not so much. How do models and celebrities manage to rock such beautiful hair though? We went straight to the source: pro hairstylists, like Doug DiCiano, Marc Marcell, Danilo, Hallie Bowman and Mark Townsend as well as models from coast to coast. The result: 12 fabulous, fresh, and easy-to-follow laws for getting and maintaining soft, shiny, strong, healthy hair. Bye-bye, breakage; see ya, flyaway strands; so long, dull and lackluster hair.
You'll find out:
What shine enhancing hair cocktail you can mix up the night before a big event
How to tone down your heat styling habits
Why you should switch up your shampoo and conditioner The water temperature you should use to wash and condition your hair
How often to trim your hair to keep it healthy
Which hair care products serve as a barrier between your hair and an elastic
How to keep blonde hair healthy
Why you should lay off the hair elastics
How to use oil olive to moisturize strands
Why Marsha Brady was on to something with all her hair brushing
What hair mask yields the most shine
The water temperature you should use to wash and condition your hair
What hair care products to use along with heat styling
Phew, the list goes on.

Hmmm...How about less products because you wash less? I wash my hair twice a week and use dry shampoo on the off days on my roots. My hair has gone from dry and brittle to gorgeous. Shiny. And it's CHEAP. Dry shampoo and quality regular shampoo are all I use. I wash and dry my hair every 3-4 days. And no, it doesn't smell bad. (I bathe everyday...not doing that COULD be smelly!!) :-)

My hair is over processed and I love the conditioning benefits of Olive Oil and honey. I am hesitant to trim every 6-8 weeks, because I am not one of those whose hair grows fast.

I have become obsessed in the last couple years about hair health after completely ruining my hair with heat, bleach, and not taking care of it. I follow most of these rules but I also uncorporate the vitamin biotin and hair repair pill viviscal into my routine and it has really helped. I recommend these to anyone who has really damaged hair.

I have always brushed my hair at least 100 times before i went to bed but, I didn't know it mattered what type of brush you used. Guess I will have to buy a Boar Bristled Brush! Also, the Pantene for Beautiful Lengths! Thanks!!!

I have waist long hair so I usually have it up a lot. Never thought to put a leave-in conditioner in it to protect it from the elastic! GREAT TIP!!
