The fix: Lock in shine
Think of the outermost layer of your hair, the cuticles, as shingles
on a roof; and those shingles must lie as flat as possible for shiny
strands.
Anything from friction to hot water to humidity can ruffle up
the cuticles, resulting in a lackluster mane. Residue and product
buildup are also culprits of sapping shine.
To clarify and smooth cuticles, pour an apple cider vinegar rinse (a
tablespoon of vinegar to half cup of water) over damp hair and comb
through. Let it sink in for five minutes, rinse with cool water, and
follow up with conditioner. The acidity in the vinegar complements the
pH of our hair, which helps seal the cuticle and makes it lay flatter.
