Expert Tips for Shiny Hair!

Glossy, shiny, luscious locks are definitely a goal worth striving for and can make a world of a difference not only in how you look, but how you feel about yourself. Believe it or not, it's not all about the products- it's the little things that make a big difference when it comes to locks that are silky smooth as opposed to coarse and dull. Read on for some amazing shine-enhancing tips brought to you by stylists from the Patrick McIvor Color Studio .

Lisa Grealish's Tips:
- Rinse with cooler water after shampooing to close the hair cuticle.
- Use your cool shot button on your dryer to smooth the cuticle when you're finished drying.

Krista Beahm's Tips
-When you blow-dry your hair, go from roots to ends. if you don€™t, it will make your hair frizzy and can damage the cuticle.
- Use a silicon-based product like Redken Glass 01 to add shine.
- If hair is starting to look dull, visit your colorist and get a clear color glaze like Redken Shades EQ (see Redken.com for salon locations)

Matthew Thorpe's Tips:
For brunettes, Instead of glazing with a clear, I like to glaze using a shade that is two shades lighter than what is there. Use a very warm shade because warm shades reflect more light than cool shades which absorb light.
