Why are some people’s hairs shinier than others? Shiny hair is a sure sign of health hair. The cuticles lie flay so light reflects on them. Because they lay flat and overlap each other, the inner layers are well protected from the hazards of the environment. Straight hair also appear shinier than curly hair because of a natural oil that covers hair strands which is called sebum.
If you are one of those people who have dry hair, experts advise you to wash your hair less frequently. Having dry hair also means that you should be more careful in using heat styling products because dry hair are more fragile and prone to damage and breakage.

Resorts, pools and beaches are popular during the summer. While some people get the best protection for their skin, they tend to forget to protect their hair.
Swimming pools contain high levels of chemical, specifically chlorine, to keep the water bacteria-free. Unfortunately, this king of chemical can do great damage to your hair. They will strip your hair of moisture, making them brittle and easy to break.
To protect the hair from chlorine, you can protect your hair with conditioner before diving into the pool. But the easiest and most inexpensive way to protect your hair is to use a swimming cap.

Our hair is like our skin. It needs enough moisture to stay healthy and shiny. But due to excessive styling and even shampooing, our hair is robbed of the moisture level that it needs.
To avoid having dry brittle hair, always use a conditioner after every shampoo and apply it to the lower part of your hair. At least once a week, deeply condition your hair to replenish it from its lost moisture.
Some hair products contain alcohol. To protect the level of moisture in your hair, avoid using these kinds of products because they deprive your hair from the moisture it needs making it more prone to damage.
