Natural beauty therapies to add shine to your hair

Your crowning glory needs care and attention if you want it to grow long, strong, and shiny.

Using natural beauty therapies should be your goal as chemicals only harm the scalp and cause more problems than they cure in most cases.

We all want tresses that sparkle in the sunlight with brilliant good health.

Adding shine to your hair is something that you can easily do at home. Your first step is to start getting used to using a little cold water when you shower. There is no need to stand directly under the shower head and receive cold water jets.

Simply tilt the shower head or purchase the type of head that has a hose attachment so it can be used at any angle. Now run the cold water at an angle, so that it touches your scalp…which will seal the cuticles.

They have opened up in the warm to hot heat you used to shower with. When your hair cuticles are closed, they reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it.

Some people love very hot showers, but you have to remember that when it comes time to rinse, hot water makes your scalp sweat and can increase oil production on your scalp, so try lowering the temperature and finish the rinse with as cool as you can tolerate.

Choose the right type of shampoo for your cleaning. If you haven’t colored your hair, all you need to do is choose the shampoo for your specific texture. When dyeing, you will need to choose a shampoo and conditioner that are meant for colored hair.

There are many more natural beauty therapy tips you can try to maintain your color while you wash and dry.

Selecting the right shampoo for your texture is really important so you don’t suffocate your hair follicles and dry out your scalp too much.

These shampoos and conditioners will also protect it when it dries out, locking in moisture. Blow-drying can remove moisture and leave it looking dull, so when possible, try to let it dry naturally without extra stress, just let your locks air dry.

People have tried adding things like beer or eggs to their wash or rinse to add natural shine.

Let’s talk about other proven methods that you should definitely try now. Vinegar is the first choice, but not the white vinegar you might use for household cleaning.

You want to buy a bottle of apple cider vinegar. To apply, pour into a spray bottle and apply all over the scalp. Do it in the shower and wait a few minutes before rinsing it off. Try this app two or three times a week.

Do you use any essential oils at home for health benefits? Try taking a capful of your best shampoo and mix it with a teaspoon of tea tree oil. Wash well and rinse. Another method is to use oil.

Here we are talking about a good almond or olive oil. When applying, gently massage it into the scalp. Once you have completed this step, move on to brushing it throughout your tresses.

For a really nice shine before you go to work, brush it on for three to five minutes. This will fluff up and help your hair shine at the same time. The massaging effect of the brush is also good for the scalp.

To have beautiful, shiny hair, you need to work from the inside out. That means what you are putting into your body. Your tresses need to be nourished with vitamin E and healthy oils.

Some foods that are great for vitamin E are nuts and seeds, roasted or raw without salt. Avocado is also tasty and full of vitamin E.

Finally, be sure to drink plenty of water, preferably distilled rather than sparkling. Shiny hair can be yours, if you follow some of these ideas.

There are several things you can do to protect your tresses now that you have applied different ingredients to make them healthy. After you finish washing it, don’t take a towel and rub it to dry it.

Instead, wrap a cotton towel around your head, fully covering your tresses. This will greatly reduce split ends as the towel slowly absorbs moisture.

At night before bed, turn on your humidifier to moisten the air. This is especially important if you live in a part of the country where the temperature drops and you have a furnace or electric heater running.

The dry heat will pull the moisture out of your tresses. Finally when you retire for the night, remove any elastics or other accessories. Those items pull on your roots, especially at night if you move frequently.
