8 Easy Tricks That Will Make Your Hair Super Silky

You know silky hair when you see it: shiny, healthy, and free of tangles. But if you, like me, put your hair through the wringer, styling it with hot tools, using tons of product, and coloring it regularly, silkiness seems only but a dream.

Luckily, with the right products, you and I both can improve the look and feel of our hair in just a few weeks—especially since silky hair relies on the health and condition of the cuticle (the outside layer), according to Steven Picciano, a national artist for Goldwell.

“The surface of your hair is kind of like shingles on a roof,” he explains. “When all of those shingles [aka the cuticle layer] lay downward and smooth from roots to ends, that’s when your hair looks and feels smooth and shiny—not knotty and tangled; it’s also when it reflects the most light.”

That said, if you’re reading this because you deal with dullness and tangles daily/weekly/whenever follow the eight tips below to transform your strands and restore your natural shine.

1. BE MINDFUL WHEN SHAMPOOING.

When shampooing, the tendency is to pile your hair on top of your head and wash the entire length of your strands. This technique not only creates tangles but also dries out the ends of the hair, which already lack moisture—especially of those with curly hair.

“With naturally straight hair, oil from the scalp can go from roots to ends very quickly because gravity will pull it down,” Picciano says. “But with curly hair, the oil has to travel around the coiled shaft, so the oil doesn’t get there as quickly.”

What this means is that people with curly hair don’t need to shampoo their hair as often. And, when it is time to wash, consider swapping out your regs shampoo with a cleansing conditioner to keep from stripping your hair of its necessary natural oils.
