1. Lack Of Volume And Shine

Face it, flat, lifeless hair is on no one’s wish list. And even if your hair isn’t particularly thick or luscious at the best of times, healthy hair should have a natural bounce and reflect light, giving it a vibrant appearance.

Why It Happens

Lack of volume and shine can be caused by various factors including product buildup, inadequate hydration or damage from too much heat styling and chemical treatments.

What To Do About It

Try keeping up with regular trims, using volumising and clarifying shampoos, and ensure you’re using a deep conditioning treatment weekly.

When it comes to products, Shark Beauty’s versatile hair tools are the ultimate flex.

You can confidently create salon styles at home, from bouncy blow-dries and sleek, straight styles to beachy waves and perfectly-defined curls—all without heat damage.

With the Shark FlexStyle you can easily transform between a powerful, fast, no-heat-damage hair dryer and an ultra-versatile styler.

While the Shark SmoothStyle is more than a blow-dry brush, designed to straighten and smooth hair with heated comb technology for a healthy voluminous finish with no heat damage.

2. Excessive Breakage And Split Ends

Split ends really don’t scream healthy hair. If you notice a lot of breakage and split ends, it’s a clear sign you need to boost the condition of your locks.

Why It Happens

Breakage and split ends are often result from over-manipulation, harsh brushing or the overuse of chemical treatments and heat styling without proper protection.

What To Do About It

Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair gently, apply leave-in conditioners or serums that contain protein and moisture, and always use a heat protectant when styling. Regular trims every six to eight weeks can help manage split ends and maintain the integrity of your hair.
