If shiny hair is the goal, then dry hair may be the thing that’s holding you back.

Book in regular trims
Lastly, hair experts recommend booking in a trim every 2-4 months or so. This is more of a preventative measure to minimise split ends before they begin to form and helps to maintain the health of your ends.
Tip: If regular hair salon appointments aren’t viable for you, consider an at-home trim. Just be mindful of only trimming the dead, split ends only. (Leave the rest to the professionals).
