Shine is the sign that your hair is healthy and contains the proper amount of moisture. It's also a reflection of your overall health, so be sure you eat a balanced diet loaded with vitamins, especially E, B6 and B12; folic acid; pantothenic acid and biotin, which are associated with moisture rich hair. To get hair so healthy it shines, try the following tips:

1. Use warm - but never hot - water to wash your hair. Hot water robs your hair of moisture.

2. Treat yourself to a weekly deep-conditioning treatment or hair mask to replenish moisture lost from daily styling.

3. Use products designed specifically to add shine to your hair.

4. If at all possible, wash your hair only every other day. This will allow natural, shine-enhancing oils to remain on the hair cuticle.
