What Makes Your Hair Shiny & Nails Healthy?

Most of us want shiny hair and healthy nails. This is a big part of your appearance and makes you look more polished and put together, so here are a few easy tricks to getting both.

Homemade Hair Mixes

To make your hair shiny, rinse it with a mix two tablespoons of lemon juice for blond hair, or apple cider vinegar for brown and red hair.

Shampoo

Use the right shampoo for your hair type. Fine hair needs wheat proteins and polymers. For normal hair, use shampoo with amino acids and lecithin. If you have coarse hair, look for pomades.

Shiners

You can buy spray-on shiners or use a deep conditioner such as V05 hot oil. To fix last-minute frizz before leaving, smooth a tiny amount of styling lotion onto your hands and then over your hair.

Protect Your Nails

Wear rubber gloves when doing housework or yard work. You can keep nails moisturized by applying lotion or petroleum jelly at night.

Nail Polish Remover

Look for acetate-based polish removers and avoid any that contain acetone or formaldehyde, because these dry nails more.

Dry Nails

Whenever you get your hands wet, dry your nails thoroughly, since moisture dries them out. Massaging lotion into unpainted nails will both strengthen and shine them.
