I've been taking Biotin and Fish Oil supplements to help keep my hair healthy. I also use Alterna Caviar Rapid Repair Spray (in a purple can) almost daily (it smells like grape dimetapp!!). For an extra shine boost I use Alterna Hemp Shine Spray (in an orange can - this one smells like oranges...see a pattern?). I love these two...my hair looks healthy and I rarely get split ends.

I got a product from my salon called Kemon Liding Defrizz Masque. My stylist gave me this and mixed in some toner to keep my color. Everytime I use it, I look like I just stepped out of the salon. My hair looks soooo shiny. It's hard to find in the US, so I don't know if you can find it in the UK. It looks like the company is affiliated with CHI and based out of Singapore.

I recently bought a shine serum by got 2 be. It has mica particles in it and it really makes your hair shine. It smells good too.

Also, add a drop of caster oil in your conditioner. 1X a week put caster oil in your hair, sleep with it in w/a shower cap. the next morning, use a light shampoo & conditioner.

I swear by this. If you knew all the things I have done to my hair & you saw my hair. You would die. My colorist doesn't get it either how my hair stays so healthy. I told her what I do & now she does it also.
Let me know how this helps.

Yes, the intensive repair shampoo. You can add a drop of caster oil to your conditioner.
You can also sleep with the conditioner in your hair w/ the caster oil w/ a showercap on. The next day your hair is so soft.
Let me know how this helps.
Iv'e been bleaching my hair for 8-10 years. I recently went back to a brunette. I also flat iron my hair as well.

a clarifying shampoo will help. Your hair might be dull because of all the extra oil you have on your scalp or from product build up. a clarifying shampoo will clean your hair throughly leaving it with its natural shine.

i use pantine pro v but there are a lot of brands that have a clarifying shampoo out there.

hope this helps =)

no you have to get the one that says clarifying on it or else its just regular shampoo
yes.gif
you only need to use it maybe every 4 days or so to get rid of the buildup on your head. you can use it everyday but it may dry out your hair but you should try it!

Your hair might be dull from the silicone build-up. At first, silicone makes your hair so shiny, but the effect wears off as it starts to build up. It makes hair greasy too. Almost every shampoo out there contains silicone, so look for a clarifying shampoo without silicone. Use it once a week. I use Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo from The Body Shop...it's good for my scalp and it doesn't contain silicone.

I have very long shiny highlighted hair, and I don't use conditioner. I shampoo 2-3 times a week, and I only use masques. My hair stylist loves my hair

WOW that sounds like quite a process. But I am def. willing to try that out lol because my hair is really nasty when I don't work on it. Where can I get the Chi silk infuson or the mist? I really have to start experimenting with this stuff to get it right...

I was looking for a new curling iron! Are you sure this one is the best?? I am going to try it out, it seems cheap, but it also seems way too good to be true. We shall see

i got my chi silk infusion at ulta and the chi iron gaurd and mist at my local CVS but if you dont have one of those around ulta sells it too or you can also get it online!

that curling iron works best on my hair! i have nooo idea why! i ended up playin with my hair at a friends and thats how i found it worked for me!! i was amazed since nothing would curl my hair right!!! you might want to try it out if not you can always return it if it doesnt work out!

but here is this site and ppl write reviews about all sorts of hair stuff!! maybe it can help you figure out what can help your hair!!! i love my system though lol works great for me!
