10 Gorgeous Hair Accessories That Will Make You Feel Like Royalty
And while not everyone gets access to a glam squad like the royals, there are some little tweaks in your everyday routine that you can do for healthier, shinier hair:
- Avoid rubbing your hair in rapid motions when towel-drying your tresses in the shower as vigorous rubbing can lift hair cuticles and cause tangles. Instead, squeeze out excess water in a pressing motion. This keeps hair cuticles flat and smooth along the lengths of the hair so it becomes less prone to tangling and looks shinier.
- Rinse your locks with a jet of cold water. The low temperature helps hair cuticles to lie flat so hair feels smoother and looks shinier.
- Use UV protection on your hair and scalp. Just like your skin, which can become dull when free radicals wreak havoc on skin cells, UV exposure can also affect the vibrancy of your locks from free radical damage. Over time, lustrous locks can become dull and lifeless if free radical damage is left to accumulate.
If all else fails, you can always rely on shine sprays. Here are the best shine-infusing products to use for healthy, glossy royal-worthy hair:
Made with 100 percent natural oils, this nourishing oil harnesses the antioxidant power of prickly pear seed oil to counter free radical damage on hair and scalp. Apply directly onto scalp and the lengths of the hair as a pre-shampoo treatment, or use it anytime to tame coarse and unmanageable hair. It also doubles up as a body hydrator due to its intensely hydrating properties.
Just like its name suggests, this lightweight hair oil goes on without a trace to Suitable even for those with fine hair, this lightweight hair oil replenish parched tresses with moisture and nutrients. It also seals the cuticles for an instantly smooth and shiny finish with zero residue.
Just like a BB cushion that enhances your skin tone while shielding it from UV rays, this intensive hair conditioner enhances coloured hair while sea kelp extract protects it from environmental assaults. Enriched with amla oil (derived from gooseberry), sunflower seed oil and glycerin, this also improves hair elasticity for a lustrous, prism-like shine.
A heaven sent for frazzled locks, this blend of organic argan oil and macadamia oil seals hair cuticles to block out humidity while infusing it with a blow out-worthy shine.
Formulated to help maintain the intensity and vibrancy of coloured locks, this post-shower foam infuses your hair with silk amino acids and pro-vitamin B5 to revive hair colour and lock in shine.
And there you go, shiny hair that Duchesses Kate and Megan would approve of.
