Dull hair that’s lacking shine. Our expert Sylvie, scalp care specialist
at the Leonor Greyl Institut,
explains how to improve and maintain a beautiful shine all year round

Why does hair get dull?

There can be multiple reasons: a lack of hydration or a shampoo that wasn’t rinsed
correctly by rubbing the hair together; this can tarnish the hair fiber.
Instead, the shampoo should gently flow from the scalp to the ends.
Other factors causing dry hair are frequent use of dry shampoos, lemon juice,
or pollution.

How to rehydrate well?

These are the essential gestures to reconnect with a beautiful shine.
For this, we must choose the right treatment.
On very dry hair, the best way to restore shine is with oil.
Apply small quantities on the lengths before shampooing,
then brush your hair with a boar bristle brush. 
This step is essential even if you don’t have enough time to let
it sit for 15min: it deeply hydrates the hair and prepares your hair
for the shampoo.
On a colored or discolored hair that quickly loses its shine,
we provide a specific treatment after washing: Crème de Soin à L’Amarante 
has an antioxidizing action on the color which promotes more shine.
You may also opt for Masque Fleurs de Jasmin, which detangles, softens,
and neutralizes lemon juice.
When you have finished rinsing your shampoo, towel dry your hair, then apply
a small amount on the length and ends.
No need to put too much, it would be counterproductive.
We use a large-toothed comb to distribute the mask or treatment while smoothing
and untangling the hair gently.
Before styling, we apply Condition Naturelle on the length and ends before drying.
Maintaining shine is at the very heart of this capillary warfare.
Because when the fiber reflects light, it means that the hair scales are tight and
that they’re in good health. 

Dry your hair correctly

With natural hair, we favor the use of the hairdryer and the comb.
It should neither be too hot nor too strong so that the scales have
time to smooth as they dry.

Note: colored, streaked, or bleached hair will retain a more beautiful shine
if it’s left to dry naturally (even if it means doing a little shaping if necessary,
on almost dry hair).

Regain radiance between two shampoos

To boost the shine daily, we advise brushing your hair every night with a boar bristle
brush to smooth the hair and eliminate the dust as well as pollution and styling particles.
