Q&A for How to Have Healthy, Shiny Silky Hair

Use conditioner every time you shampoo and leave it on the hair for at least 3 minutes. Try a weekly treatment with a mask or hot oil.

Try using a vinegar rinse once a week. Mix one part vinegar into three parts water and pour it over your hair.

For coarse hair, you should use products that smooth and soften. Try products with rich natural oils like macadamia and argan.

Yes, the fats in the yolk of the egg will enhance shine in your hair. The protein in the whites add strength.

Try to refrain from washing your hair every day and avoid heat when styling as much as possible. When you shampoo and condition your hair, make sure you have the proper shampoo and conditioners for your hair. The right products will depend on whether your hair is dyed or natural. You can also use hair oils like argan oil to help get some shine.

To thicken your hair, try using volumizing shampoo and conditioners. Keep in mind that these shouldn't be used daily. You can also use thickening products and sprays that can thicken the hair up when you style it. Another trick would include blow-drying your hair upside down. In doing this, you're drying the hair in the opposite direction of how the hair grows out. This can create a nice lift so that when you flip your hair back again, you'll have a lot more volume.

Having shiny hair really comes down to the health of your hair and how you treat it. Try using hydrating shampoos and conditioners in combination with oils such as argan oil to get that shine. I also suggest trying not to blow dry your hair often and refraining from using heat when styling your hair.

It could be damaging if you're applying too much tension daily and the bun is too tight. Keep the bun loose, use soft hair elastics, or try a braid instead.

I would recommend using an anti-dandruff shampoo. These target your scalp to prevent itchy flakes from falling through your hair.

No. A famous myth is that using conditioners makes your hair fall out. In reality, using conditioners has actually been proven to promote silkier, stronger and better-looking hair.

Stress will make your hair more coarse and could make it fall out, so stress would be an obstacle in making your hair beautiful and smooth.

Put your hair in a high ponytail or a semi ponytail or put it into a French plait.

Yes. But these curlers tend to twist your hair, and thus lead to breakage of hair roots. But if you have strong hair, you can go for it.

You are supposed to put conditioner mainly at the bottom of your hair, but it is good to put a little at the roots, too.

The roots are definitely the most important part to shampoo, as that is where most of the oiliness is concentrated. Meanwhile, the ends are usually the driest, and overshampooing can exacerbate that, especially given how harsh most drug store shampoos are (though there are also gentle shampoos out there that won't damage your hair). However, it would be good to shampoo all of your hair at least occasionally to wash out germs, product residue, etc. that accumulate over time on the entirety of your hair. For the same reasons, conditioner is more needed on the ends of the hair than at the roots, and some people find that using conditioner on the roots makes their hair too oily or weighed down. However, that shouldn't be a problem if a) you use a high-quality conditioner, b) you rinse the conditioner out really well.

You could use a toothpaste-sized portion of olive oil or body lotion. Massage it through your hair, then comb.

Yes, but do not use to much, as it could leave your hair excessively oily.

No, I wouldn't recommend this. Washing your hair every day can make it dry, brittle, and unmanageable. Wash it every other day and use conditioner only on the other days.

Try brushing it with a comb more often. Try adding a little bit of oil in it, too.

That depends on what type of hair you have and what type suits you. Maybe try a few different shampoo for a few weeks and pick the one that suits you the most.

Trim your hair regularly and apply conditioner to the tips of your hair every time you shower. Those two things will help stave off most split ends.

No, it shouldn't do any damage. But try organic products or aussi miracle as they tend to use fewer chemicals. Only use a wide-tooth comb and leave hair to dry naturally.

You can try to using smoothing shampoos and conditioners that will make your hair straight. After a few weeks, you will start to notice a difference.
