We all want that just-left-the-salon shine – but here’s the secret: you don’t have to wait for a hair appointment to get it. With the right home hair care (and the right products), stronger, shinier hair is easier to achieve than you think – it’s a mix of knowing what your hair needs, protecting it properly, and giving it the right aftercare.
At Voduz, we believe in the power of simple yet effective hair care. So, let’s break it down into three easy fixes that can help anyone achieve healthier, shinier locks, with the added boost of our high-quality products.
Step 1: Review Your Hair Health
Before you can fix your hair, you need to understand what it’s actually asking for. Think of this step as a quick “hair check-up.”
Ask yourself: what’s my hair telling me?
- Dry, brittle hair? It’s likely craving hydration and nourishment. A nourishing shampoo and conditioner, along with weekly hydrating treatments, will restore moisture.
- Oily, greasy hair? This usually means your scalp needs balance. An exfoliating scalp scrub or detox treatment can re-energise and reset your roots.
- Dull or damaged hair? Often, your strands are holding onto product build-up. A detox treatment will deeply cleanse and refresh your hair, leaving you with a clean slate to style.
People Also Ask: How can I improve my hair quality naturally?
Improving your hair quality doesn’t mean you need to strip everything back. Simple changes like switching to a satin pillowcase, brushing gently with a boar bristle brush (like the Voduz In-Vented), and avoiding rough towel-drying can all make a massive difference over time.
Pro tips for better hair health:
- Swap your cotton pillowcase for a satin pillowcase to reduce breakage and frizz.
- Pat or gently squeeze your hair dry instead of rubbing it with a towel.
- Use a boar bristle brush to distribute natural oils from root to tip.
Step 2: Protect Your Hair When Styling
We all love a good blow dry, bouncy curls, or a sleek straight style – but heat can be one of the fastest ways to damage your strands.
Why heat protection matters
Every time you style without a heat protection spray, your hair cuticle weakens. Over time, this can cause split ends, frizz, and dullness. That’s why using heat protection when using heated styling tools is non-negotiable if you want long-term shine and strength.
Our 'Defender' Heat Protection Spray creates an invisible shield that defends your strands from heated tools – whether you’re using a straightener, curling wand, or hair dryer.
People Also Ask: How do I stop heat from damaging my hair?
The best way to prevent heat damage is by:
- Always apply heat protection spray before styling.
- Keeping your styling tool at the lowest effective temperature.
- Not going over the same section of hair multiple times.
Bonus styling tip: Let your hair air-dry for a while before using a dryer. It cuts down on heat exposure and gives your hair a much-needed break.
Step 3: Aftercare Is Everything
Healthy hair isn’t just about what you do in the moment – it’s how you care for it afterwards. This is where aftercare products become your hair’s best friend.
Lock in shine with the right products
After styling, your hair deserves a little TLC. Here’s what we recommend:
- 'R’Oil' Hydrating Hair Oil – Lightweight, nourishing, and perfect for taming frizz while adding shine without weighing hair down.
- 'Crown Control' – Ideal for smoothing flyaways and keeping your finished style looking sleek.
Adding these finishing touches helps your hair look salon-fresh while also feeding it the nutrients it needs.
People Also Ask: What should I put on my hair daily for growth and shine?
You don’t need a shelf full of products to maintain shine. Focus on:
- A nourishing hair oil to add gloss and hydration.
- A scalp treatment once a week to keep roots healthy.
- Occasional nourishing masks for strength.
Extra care tips:
- Incorporate a weekly deep-nourishing treatment into your routine.
- Brush your hair gently (and regularly) to keep natural oils moving.
- Keep trims consistent – split ends can make hair look dull and weak.
Quick-Fire Checklist for Stronger, Shinier Hair
If you remember nothing else, let it be this:
- Review your hair health: detox, hydrate, or rebalance depending on your hair type.
- Always use 'Defender' Heat Protection Spray when styling.
- Finish with aftercare: R’Oil for shine, Crown Control for polish.
- Sleep on a satin pillowcase, be gentle with towel drying, and brush with a boar bristle brush.
- Nourish weekly with hair care treatments – your hair will thank you.
