Here's a short "NOT- To Do" list of actions that may be hindering the natural shine of any hair type:
Too much water. The more frequently you wet your hair, the less shine.
Over-brushing. Forget that old saying about "..100 strokes every night...". While brushing the hair temporarily provides some shine by distributing the natural oils, in the long run--all brushes (no matter how expensive or inexpensive) will strip the cuticle layers, and eventually weaken the hair. Use your hair brush sparingly.
Towel Drying. If you use a towel to dry your hair, always blot...never rub your hair while it's wet to limit any shine-stealing damage. (For a limited time, you can get one free ultra absorbent hair drying turban with any order from this store).
Playing with your hair. Twisting your hair with your fingers will loosen the "cuticles that keep the natural oils in place.
Hot styling. your hair dryer and flat iron damage the oils that keep hair flexible and shiny.
The pony-tail. One of my favorite "on the go" hairstyles, but pulling hair back too tightly can damage it and inhibit shine.
