Cuticle sealer

Another product that will make your hair shine is cuticle sealer. The cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair, where scales occur and the area that dries the most. The cuticle is continually exposed to factors that damage it greatly, from heat and cold to shower water. That's why you have to take maximum care of it so as not to lose the shine you are looking for and a product like this is a good way to do it.

A good hair brush

So that your hair does not lose shine, it is very important to comb it with a good brush. If the brush is the right one, the hair will not break and will help to make it soft , two very important things for the hair to shine.

The Glossy Mocha

One trick to show off your shine is actually a coloring technique. As for hairdressing trends, you have to bear in mind that chestnut trees now take naturalness. Therefore, if you have a dark tone, the ideal is to add highlights in a tone a little lighter than the root. We are not saying to do blonde highlights, but to lighten your foundation a bit. With the 'glossy mocha' you will achieve a beautiful and natural result.

Add volume to hair

What glossy mocha does is give volume to the hair. The slight contrast between the natural color and that of the highlights makes the hair gain dimension. One more advantage to join these highlights!

The copper lights

Another color technique that we recommend if you are brown and want a glossy hair effect is to switch to copper lights . They are light copper highlights that are applied like balayage, making a freehand sweep. With them, a super natural effect is achieved and that difference between the natural color of the roots and the highlights, which go from the middle of the hair to the ends, makes your hair look dazzling.
