Get the Shiniest Hair of Your Life!

You may think that you already are doing all you can when using shine serums and sprays to make your hair shinier.  However, you would only be halfway right.  Those products are important, but there are other things that can make a difference in getting more of a brilliant gloss.

Styling products weigh hair down and make it dull over time.  So if you are wondering why that expensive shine enhancer isn't doing much for you, a product buildup could be the culprit.  Ask yourself how often you use a clarifying shampoo to remove those layers of gunk from your hair.  

Make it a habit to give yourself a treatment at least every two weeks to keep the hair at its best.

Dr. Oz had a wonderful tip to make your own homemade clarifying shampoo that is fantastic.  All you need is one tablespoon of baking soda mixed in with two tablespoons of your current shampoo.  This really works better than a lot of clarifying shampoos I have tried.  In fact, you will be shocked when you look and feel your hair after shampooing with this mix.

Now that you have virgin hair again is the time to consider what type of shine product that you are using.  Those with thick or coarse hair need a silicone-based serum or styling cream to give them the maximum wattage.  Start out with some on wet hair and then finish with a bit more when dried.

On the other hand,  a shine spray would do more for those with a medium-texture of hair.  You'll find this product works best after blow-drying, spraying a few inches from the bottom.

If you have a baby-fine texture of hair then look for an extra-light formula of shine spray and concentrate over your ends. 

Another fantastic help is picking up an at-home clear gloss treatment to treat those strands with.  A gloss treatment has intense shine enhancing capabilities with ingredients like silicone, vitamins, and luxurious oils such as jojoba.

I hope you try these tips because they will make you more beautiful!

Making Your Own Homemade Clarifying Shampoo Is Simple As Well As Inexpensive to do!

Styling products are a necessary part of our lives.  However, they do have one pitfall.  In time, they can cause a buildup and dull our hair.  Of course, you a buy a clarifying shampoo to solve the problem or you could try this simple homemade fix.

All you need to have on hand is a box of baking soda and whatever shampoo you are using.  The amount will vary depending on how much hair you have, but try this formula.  Later, you can adapt and reduce or increase the measurements to suit your head.

Homemade Clarifying Shampoo

1 tablespoon of baking soda
2-1/2 tablespoons of shampoo

Measure out about one tablespoon of baking soda and add it to about 2-1/2 tablespoons of shampoo.  

Be sure the baking soda gets thoroughly mixed before shampooing with it.  

This lathers up even more due to the soda and will remove that styling residue cheaply.
