Here are my two simple hair hacks to achieve shiny and smooth hair.

The science is all in the temperature of your hair. Rinsing your hair with cold water closes the cuticle, leaving a smooth and shiny surface. The same goes when you blast your hair with cold air from your hairdryer.

Top tips:

  1. Finish your shower with cold water. If you find it too cold, ease yourself into it. You’ll soon get used to it.
  2. Use the cold switch/button on your hairdryer to finish your blow-dry. You don’t need to use it for long, but it will help to increase the shine of the hair.
