Glossy oils and serums to lift dull hair

Let it shine: we don’t tend to spend as much time on our hair as we do on our sking. Naomi Campbell ready to go on the runway for Dolce & Gabbana. Photograph: Victor Virgile/Getty Images

‘I would like dull skin,” said no one ever. The desire for a good glow is universal. The same goes for hair, but we don’t give it half as much attention. Age, pollution, hard water, product buildup and chemical treatments all make your hair more susceptible to dullness. Still, medical issues aside, getting your shine back needn’t be complex. Cleanse your hair more often (with gentle products), get a trim, give your hair and scalp regular treatments and, when styling, add a gloss or oil that won’t weigh your locks down. Shiny hair, welcome back.
