Strong, nourished, smooth hair reflects light effortlessly. Daily stressors like heat styling, colouring, pollution and hard water, though, disrupt this, leaving hair dry, damaged, rough and, inevitably, dull. It’s time to revive shine from its very source.
From daily tactics for glass hair to long-term, root-level care, these are the top 5 ways to see your shiniest - and healthiest - hair yet this spring-summer.
- Set the right foundations
First and foremost, use the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type, needs and goals. This best-prepares your scalp and hair for everything that follows.
Vata deeply hydrates and softens dry, dehydrated or damaged hair; Pitta strengthens and volumises fine, thinning hair; while Kapha clarifies and harmonises heavy, imbalanced hair. Importantly, all formulas are free of ingredients like sulphates, silicones, parabens or synthetic fragrance that can hamper condition, strength, smoothness and gloss. - Add a multi-tasking shine booster
We’re committed to nurturing natural shine from hair’s core. Of course, there are ways to instantly activate gloss and, better still, these help hair below the surface too…
Lovers of glass hair, Flyaway fix is for you. Light, non-sticky and 98% natural, it tames in one sweep and holds hair glossily in place, crunch-free, while Orange Extract and ProVitamin B5 hydrate and protect.
Those wanting instant shine with movement, smooth a few drops of Weightless hair oil over mid-lengths and ends. While the Abyssinica in our 100% natural complex glosses, Amla, Jojoba, Turmeric and Macadamia Seed help replenish, rejuvenate damage and revive suppleness.
… One extra tip: Intensify these results by applying a generous amount to hair, wrap in a silk or satin bonnet and leave overnight. - Deep clean, regularly
Regularly removing build-up of pollution, styling products and chlorine from your scalp and hair is the next priority. Why? It sits on hairs’ surface creating a dulling effect, hampers how hair takes in hydration and can block follicles, which degrades scalp condition and impacts growth.
Schedule a weekly or fortnightly detox with Kapha clarifying shampoo (even if you’re Vata or Pitta) and use with our Shampoo brush for a stimulating, seriously satisfying deep clean. - Keep hair well-hydrated
Well-moisturised hair equals truly shiny hair. How? It makes the overlapping cells on each hair cuticle (the outermost, protective layer) sit smooth and flat, which reflects light very effectively.
Excess heat, chemical treatments and environmental stressors cause these cells to lift and break. The cuticle is compromised, hair loses moisture and tangles, fragility and dullness follow.
To counter this, our tailored conditioners moisturise beyond surface level and are silicone-free. Antioxidant and nutrient rich, in addition to nourishment, you’ll also see exceptional smoothing, strengthening and glossing results.
Between wash days, top up condition and add a daily damage shield with Leave-in perfecting cream. Apply to mid-lengths and ends regularly (as you would hand cream), to instantly smooth, activate shine, heat-protect and help restore broken bonds in hair’s inner cortex. - Dial down styling heat
It goes without saying; unnecessarily high heat on your blow-dryer or styler will damage hair and trigger dullness. If you’re fine haired or prone to damage, heat needs to be much lower. Be moderate and the difference you’ll see in hair’s shine, condition and vitality will come quickly.
