With Kim Kardashian keeping her new waist-length hair sleeker and shinier than ever, we’ve never felt more inspired to skip the standard beachy summer waves for high-octane gloss. However if back-to-back beach days, sun exposure and amped-up AC have turned your hair to the dull side, it’s time to enlist a new line of dry defence.
A shine-boosting shampoo and conditioner is a good start, while a final rinse with cold water will seal the cuticle and give your hair a gleam once it dries. Following that, it’s worth investing in a quality hairdryer that will fight static, smooth each strand and support the health of the hair – such as Dyson’s Supersonic – a splurge but worth it for the results.
And finally update your arsenal with nourishing leave-in conditioners, oils and shine sprays to fake the gloss your natural hair perhaps couldn’t emulate on its own. Below, five new shine-boosting buys to help you get that high-shine, Kim-level gloss.
