To achieve healthy, shiny hair, it's essential to follow a few key practices. Limiting heat styling helps prevent moisture loss and brittleness. Regular trims (every 6–8 weeks) remove split ends, maintaining smoothness and shine. Over-washing can strip natural oils, so washing hair every 2–3 days is recommended. Protecting hair from UV rays with sun-safe products or hats prevents dryness and dullness. A diet rich in omega-3s, biotin, and vitamins A, C, and E supports hair health from within, helping to maintain its natural luster.
