How to Get Healthier, Shinier Hair


First things first: You want your hair to be healthy. Eat a balanced diet, rich in foods filled with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D (nuts, eggs, salmon, and Greek yogurt are particular champs). But if you're dealing with chronically thin hair, consider a supplement with zinc and biotin to promote growth (try Viviscal Extra Strength Dietary Supplements, $50 for a one-month supply, viviscal.com) or an over-the-counter growth booster like Pantene Expert Hair Regrowth Treatment for Women ($43 for a 90-day supply, walgreens). Just be patient with these products, though; they could take several months or more to help. If you encounter constant shedding, see your doctor. Stress or a hormonal imbalance could be the culprit-and you'll need a doctor to treat that.



Now, to keep hair shiny... Harsh weather, dye, hot styling tools-you name it; there are many reasons your hair can feel rough and dry. Best step to transform it: Use a deep conditioner once a week after you shampoo (we like Kevin Murphy Young Again Masque, $49, kevinmurphy.com.au for salons). If your hair is very thick or coarse, look for a treatment with keratin and nourishing oils (our new favorite is Motions Straight Finish Leave-In Conditioner, $8, walgreens.com). And for a quick fix, rub a smoothing balm like Kérastase Touche Perfection ($35, kerastase-usa.com) onto frayed ends to polish them.
