HOW-TO: Get Beautiful Shiny Hair

We all want beautiful healthy hair. Here are some ways to keep it beautiful and strong. Water makes up about 30 percent of the composition of your hair, according to the University of Southern California, so keeping it hydrated  gives it that shine. Use a moisturizing shampoo, even if you have oily hair. Water helps keep hair strong as well as flattening down the shingle-like surface of the hair shaft. Drink enough water every day to help keep your hair hydrated.

Be careful with the heat and constant brushing of the hair. Heat and friction both play an important role in potentially damaging the hair shaft. Brushing your hair constantly actually breaks down the protective layer on the outside of the hair shaft, and brushing while wet only makes the effect worse, according to the University of Southern California. Instead of blow drying, take extra time to allow your hair to air dry
