• Hair sticking out
• Hair lost its shine and health

So… how can we minimize these awful factors from happening?

Yes, of course, naturally your hair will lose its shine and strength as you grow older but there are always some ways to lessen the process by following the proposed recommendations below👇🏽

• Hydrate your hair
  It is very important to keep your hair hydrated with nourishing hair masks and conditioner after every shampoo
• Don’t skip hair treatments
  Healthy hair treatments, performed by hair experts, can enhance the strength and shine of your hair.
•  Avoid dyeing your hair often
  Frequent hair dyeing is the worst hair enemy – harsh chemicals including bleach can easily destroy your hair leaving it with no shine.
• Protect hair when swimming
  Protect your hair from the damaging effects of chlorine by conditioning your hair before swimming and wearing a swimming cap. Check out our previous post “how to protect hair from chlorine damage” for more info.

Just remember a decrease in a natural hair shine is a gradual process (see below) 👀 It can be considered a natural process (we don’t expect to maintain shiny locks that we had as kids throughout our lives)
