How to Get Shiny Hair

There is nothing more coveted than smooth, shiny hair, a timeless sign of health, youth, and effortless beauty. In today’s world, factors that cause dull hair are all around us, making a go-to shiny hair routine essential. Read on to discover the key steps to keep your locks looking beautifully glossy all day.

What Makes Hair Look Shiny?

Hair looks shiny when its cuticle, the outer layer of overlapping scales, is smooth and intact, allowing light to reflect evenly. Well-moisturized strands, natural oils, and good overall hair health help keep the cuticle flat and healthy, creating a glossy, vibrant appearance. Infused with argan oil and plant-based keratin, the Fructis Sleek & Shine range smooths each strand from root to tip for a healthy-looking shine.

Step 3: Apply a Shine Treatment for Extra Gloss

Looking for an extra shine boost? Apply a hair treatment for shiny hair like Fructis Sleek & Shine 10-in-1 Leave-In Spray for a low-maintenance addition to your shiny hair routine. This nourishing leave-in treatment cuts your shiny hair care routine into one simple step.

How to Get Shiny Hair FAQ

For most hair types, washing 2–3 times per week is recommended to help preserve the natural oils that smooth the cuticle and boost hair's shine.
For shiny hair, wash with warm water to cleanse and nourish, then rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle. This smooths the hair surface, enhancing natural shine and gloss.
The best conditioner for shiny hair is one that smooths the cuticle and deeply moisturizes, such as Fructis Sleek & Shine Smoothing Conditioner. This conditioner contains nourishing argan oil and keratin, to leave hair soft, frizz-free, and glossy, enhancing its natural shine without weighing it down.

Even naturally curly or textured hair can be shiny, though it requires extra care. Curly strands tend to be drier, so keeping the hair well-moisturized and the cuticle smooth is key. For best results, opt for hydrating shampoos and conditioners designed for curly hair, and dry with a low-heat diffuser. Properly cared-for curls reflect light beautifully, giving you healthy, shiny hair without sacrificing your natural texture.
