Get those shiny locks

Shiny hair is a sign of health because the layers of the cuticle lie flat and reflect light. When the scales of the cuticle lie flat they overlap tightly, so the inner layers are well protected from heat, sun, chlorine, and all the other hazards that can come from living in our environment. When hair is damaged, though, the scales may separate and hair can become dry. Because the scales on dry hair don't protect the inner two layers as well, hair can break and look dull. Heat styling products like curling and straightening irons can dry out even oily hair if they're used too much. Follow the instructions carefully, and don't use them on wet hair or high settings, and give your hair a vacation from styling once in a while. Regular haircuts are one of the best ways to help keep hair healthy. Even if you have long hair or you're trying to grow your hair, a haircut can help protect the ends of your hair from splitting and damage. In fact, cutting may actually help your hair grow better because it's healthy and not breaking off. To insure having a shiny hair follow these easy steps: -Try looking for shampoo and conditioner with natural/organic ingredients, which will restore your natural and needed oils to your hair. -Rubbing lemon juice and apple cider vinegar into your roots ensures a shiny look and prevents greasy-looking hair and frizz. Be careful if you have dark hair when using lemon juice, it can lighten your hair color if you stay in the sun with it in your hair -Mayonnaise and avocado oil: Depending on how long your hair is, use about 1 cup of mayonnaise and add 2 tablespoons of warm avocado oil. Mix up the ingredients and spread through hair as you would with conditioner. Use this home-made conditioner when you have free time because you will have to leave it in for at least 3 hours. If possible, you can wrap your hair with plastic and leave the conditioner in overnight for deep conditioning. Rinse thoroughly and use your regular shampoo and conditioner. -After shampooing your hair rinse and condition it out with cool water. This will seal the cuticles and prevent frizz and dryness
