Healthy and vibrant hair reflects light evenly, which gives the hair the best shine.
We interviewed a barber-hairdresser Katja Hämäläinä Hair styling from Lxry. He says that there are several reasons for dull hair. These include dryness of the hair, the wrong type of products chosen for the hair type, too diligent use of heat styling irons, and strong styling products and impurities that are deposited on the surface of the hair.
– Finnish hair quality is relatively loose, and many are careful when using care products. For this reason, hair is easily left with too little care and looks dull, opens Hämäläinen.

What can help dull hair?
Fortunately, there are effective tricks on how to make tired and lackluster hair look healthier and beautifully shiny again. Hämäläinen recommends quick-moisturizing hair sprays, with which you can instantly get quick help on the surface of moisture-poor hair and at the same time soften frizzy hair.

Hair oil, on the other hand, offers more effective moisturizing and at the same time nourishes dry ends. You can use it on both dry and wet hair, as long as you remember to use a low temperature when drying your hair and using heat irons.
Lighter and better quality colors
Hämäläinen says that hair dyeing has decreased in recent years and the frequency of visits to the hairdresser has decreased. This is why hair care treatments and home care products are in high demand today.

Modern hair dyes contain plenty of caring ingredients, so light color treatments effectively bring additional shine to the hair. On the other hand, intensive treatments performed in a hairdresser’s salon are best suited for undyed hair.
– Tinting Hair masks guarantee a rich color finish while moisturizing the hair at the same time. These can be found, for example, in intensive care sets tailored to the client’s hair, where the treatment is mixed to match the client’s hair tone. The even tone reflects the light beautifully and gives the hair the best shine, assures Hämäläinen.
The right kind of washing products
When choosing hair products, it is of primary importance to pay attention to washing and care products suitable for your hair quality. If you want an effective washing product, the conditioner should be nutritious. Instead, a conditioning product that effectively brings shine, but which should not make the hair feel too heavy, is suitable as a conditioner pair with a moisturizing shampoo.

Hämäläinen emphasizes that it is good to add deep cleansing shampoo and intensive treatment to the treatment ritual, which should be used about once a month. The deep cleansing shampoo cleans the accumulated impurities from the surface of the hair, after which the hair is open to best receive the properties of the treatment product.
– The use of deep cleansing products is especially important if you use a lot of dry shampoo or hair powders that leave the hair surface matte, Hämäläinen reminds.
