Answer 1

silk infusion by chi and then styling with a chi straightener will do the trick.

Answer 2

biosilk gloss drops..works so good

Answer 3

i've heard a variety of home-done remedies. everything from vinegar, mayo, and eggs. i'd google beauty sites, so you get accurate info. the best way to get shiny hair, is to get healthy hair. don't use too many heat products, wash every other dya, and condition every other shower. towel dry your hair and use your hands or a wide-tooth comb to comb out any tangles. use a leave-in conditioner to keep it soft and nice.

also, there are shine serums you can buy (at any drugstore in the beauty/hair section) that you put on your hair, and it makes it shine.

good luck!

Answer 4

use LOTS of shampoo (i totally recommend Pantene) and TONS of conditioner. after washing hair, comb it down when it's still damp until it's smooth and straight, and clip it in place.

Answer 5

conditioning...it made it greasy though =(

Answer 6

eat lots of protein such as nuts and peanut butter. your hair loves protein so by eating it, it will absorb more and make it shiny.

also, showering your hair in cold water helps a lot.

and drinking lots of water, too.

and exercise, too. by being stressed out, your scalp will notice this (weird,huh?), and this affects your hair.

also, just keeping it up by trimming it about every 2 months, use deep conditioner at least once a week, massage your scalp, try to use little of heat. however if you do use heat, make sure to use a spray or something to protect it. this helps A LOT.

Answer 7

Try avocado or mayonnaise. And I am not being stupid it works! And after you finish applying it leave it on for 15-20 minutes and sit under the dryer. It knidof like a treatment. The mayonnaise and avocado have natural oils in them that leave your hair beautiful and shiny without having it look greasy and gross! Try it, it really works! Ask any hispanic person!

Answer 8

If I'm going to an event and I want my hair super-shiny, I wash with ice cold bottled water, and to keep it healthy, shiny, and frizz-free I deep condition once a week and do a hot oil treatment every month or so.

As for products, I swear by Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum, I think it's about $16 at salons, but one bottle lasts forever and it works wonders on all textures of hair. I also use an Aussie leave-in conditioner, it works well.

Answer 9

You can use eggs, or olive oil. If you're using eggs, don't forget to use cool water, or you'll get scrambled eggs! Also, washing hair with ice-cold water makes it shinier. A lot of leave-in conditioners also make hair smoother and shinier.

Answer 10

I use shine spray on my hair if I want it to look particularly glossy

Otherwise I just use a lot of conditioning products. If I want it super straight and smooth and glossy I use bain de terre all day straight, just a pin sized amount is a just a little too much for my fine, long hair so I don't use it that often. I like my hair to have body not be pin straight
