Having the perfect hair can be difficult. While hair care starts from within, with a balanced and nutrient-rich diet, it’s also important that you create a proper hair care routine for shiny, silky hair. The good news is – you don’t need to turn to extreme measures to get that shiny and silky hair. You just need to know the right steps to take, and go from there.
To begin with, start with a pre-shampoo treatment. This will help hydrate your hair and make it easier to manage. To make a pre-shampoo treatment for silky, shiny hair, mix natural oils like coconut oil, almond oil, Argan oil or jojoba oil with an herbal infusion made with chamomile, calendula or lavender in a bowl. Apply this mixture to your scalp and massage it in, making sure you don’t pull on your hair too hard. Leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing it off.

Once you’re done, you can go ahead and shampoo and condition as you usually do. If you want to maximize the effect of the pre-shampoo treatment, try using a nourishing, sulfate-free shampoo that won’t dry out your hair. Finish up the shower routine by using a quality conditioner – one with natural oils or one that helps to seal in moisture.
After you’ve shampooed and conditioned, you may want to consider a hair mask. Hair masks can help to nourish and hydrate your hair, and make it silky and shiny. For a simple hair mask, mix 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Apply this mixture to your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes. You can also create your own masks by mixing different natural oils and herbs like lavender, chamomile, or calendula.

When you’re finished with the mask, rinse the mixture off with lukewarm water, and follow up with a cool rinse to seal in moisture. After this, towel-dry your hair to remove excess moisture, and use a wide-tooth comb to brush it.
The last step in your hair care routine should be a leave-in conditioner or a finishing product like an illuminating gloss or a shine serum. These products will help to nourish your hair and protect it from the sun and other environmental damage. When applying the product, make sure you’re targeting the mid-lengths to ends of your hair, and not your roots or scalp.
Following these steps will help you to achieve smooth, shiny, silky hair with just a few simple steps. Make sure to keep your pre-shampoo, shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask treatments as part of your regular routine every two to three weeks, and use the finishing products for additional shine and nourishment. With a good hair care routine, you’ll be one step closer to your perfect hair.
