Få tillbaka glansen i matt hår

Hair that looks dull and lifeless no matter how you style it is rarely down to chance. The most common causes are product residue that builds up in the hair over time, hard water with minerals that leave a film on each strand, and heat-styling damage that makes the hair's surface uneven so it reflects light less well.

How to build the shine back up

  1. Cleanse your hair thoroughly at regular intervals to remove product residue that would otherwise leave it dull and heavy.
  2. Rinse carefully – product residue is one of the most common causes of dull hair.
  3. Turn the heat down when styling wherever you can, as high heat damages the hair's surface and reduces its natural lustre.
  4. Finish your rinse with cooler water – it helps the cuticle lie flat, which boosts shine.

Our Shine Kit is designed to lift away what dulls your shine and give your hair its lustre back.

Frequently asked questions

Why does hair go dull despite regular washing?
Product residue and minerals from hard water can build up in the hair over time and dull its shine, even if you wash regularly.
Does cold water really help with shine?
Yes, cooler water for the final rinse helps the cuticle lie flat, which reflects more light and gives visible shine.
Could heat styling be why my hair looks dull?
Yes, high heat damages the surface of the hair so it becomes uneven, which means it reflects light less well.
How often do I need to remove product build-up?
It depends on how much product you use, but do it regularly if your hair starts to feel heavy or dull.
Does the Shine Kit suit both coloured and uncoloured hair?
Yes, the shine problem and the solution are the same whether or not your hair is coloured.
