Why does hair lose shine and silkiness?

Dull, dry, and weakened hair can be caused by:

  • improperly selected care;

  • shampooing with hard water;
  • using excessive amounts of styling products;
  • using dirty combs and rough handling of hair (combing wet hair, washing the head with hot water, using metal hairpins and rubber bands).

Wash your hair with warm water, not hot water, this is one of the most common reasons why hair loses its smoothness, silkiness and shine. At the end, you can even rinse with cool water to smooth out the scales.

Homemade mask for smooth and shiny hair
