How do I get soft and shiny hair?

Question

If I don't wash my hair every day, it gets greasy and gross. But when I wash it every day, it's dry and course. I have to straighten it as well. is there any product or home remedy I can use to make it soft and shiny?

Answer 1

Is it possible that your shampoo is too harsh on your type of hair/scalp? Also I have a shining product from bath and bodyworks and there are also more products in the line that might work for you as well.

Answer 2

try washing your hair every other day, so it doesn't get greasy and it won't get course. To get it soft and shiny, use hair serum, I especially like Fekkai's smoothing cream, it keeps your hair silky soft and it smells nice. Or you could use any John Frieda product his stuff is pretty good too.

Answer 3

try special shampoo and conditioner

and over the summer or weekeend dont wash your hair for as long as u can and let it get alot of natrual oil in it then wash it real good and it will be super silky!

Answer 4

Definitely change your shampoo. You will be surprised how shampoos and conditioners can make you be greasy one day and dry the next. Your best bet is trial and error. It is good for you to change shampoos every now and again because your hair can get used to a certain brand and what once made your hair beautiful, may not be as nice to your hair a month later.

Depending on the type of hair you have, and how your body chemically responds to certain hair products is a factor as well. My hair is thin, straight (still need to straighten to prevent frizz) and processed, so my hair is sensitive to certain brands of shampoo just like you. I stay away from Thermasilk because it is greasy central for me...

I have found that certain types of Tresseme products are good, and I just discovered this brand call Joico, which is expensive, but fabulous.

Just keep switching up your shampoos until you find what works best with you because everyone's hair responds differently.

Good Luck!

Add: Definitely wash your hair every other day, and the shampoo and conditioner Joico is sold at salons only. If you have an Ulta near you, they can be purchased there as well :P

okay. i love this question!

HOME REMEDY: mayonnaise. trust me, it works. put about a quater cup of it no your DRY hair and wait for 20 minute, then rinse it out with warm water. Shampoo twice and condition as normal. It'll look gorgeous! you should do this once every 2 or 3 weeks.

HOME REMEDY: Rinse your hair with cold water just before you get out of the shower, and blow a shot of cool air on your hair after blow drying.

TIPS: Use a heat protective spray or serum ( Tresemee Heat Protective, 3.99)  before you blow sry and straighten. If you can help it, wash every second day.

TIPS: If you're going to wash your hair every day, here's the perfect solution: Herbel Essence Hello Hydration. It's perfect! It smells like coconut, has silk in it, and can be found at any drustore.

TIPS: If you're washing your hair every second day, the perfect solution: Herbel Essence Drama Clean. It cleans your hair perfectly and comes in a green bottle.

Good luck!

Garnier Sleek & Shine, just one pump or less a little is a lot! and try the smoothing milk too. :]

Answer 7

You could use a good shampoo.I am using a shampoo.It makes my hair soft and shiny.But don't use the shampoo everyday.

Answer 8

Don't let it get greasy.  Go ahead and shampoo it every day if  you want and use a mild shampoo and always use conditioner.  If it gets a little dry then after it is dry, put just a touch of conditioner on it and leave it on.  It will make is soft and shiny.  Also if you are swimming, make sure to get that pool water out of your hair.  That chlorine is wicked on your hair.  This info is from my hairdresser.

Answer 9

use conditioner and bye some bed head.
