By Pooja Kaushal

A beautiful face and hair always go hand in hand. Have you ever seen a celebrity you adore with disheveled or dull hair? Never! In fact, unhealthy-looking hair would hardly make a person look like a celebrity.

Shiny, glossy, bouncy and good-to-touch hair is always adored by all, the owner as well as the onlooker.

Even if you are not a famous person and have got gorgeous hair, you will be sure to set heads turning towards you.

So, what are the celebrity secrets for shiny hair that can give you a fabulous look?

Celebrity hair care secrets are not really secrets. If you have been careful about your hair, the products you use and the way you treat your hair, you are sure to have a good hair do for the rest of the day.

The very fact that celebrities have those lovely locks is because they have stylists and experts to help them out.

However, fret not, as you too can get those amazing tresses by simply following some basic rules that celebrities too follow.

If you wish to call them 'celebrity hair care secrets’ you are free to do so. So, what are you waiting for? Have a look:

Hot water does damage not only to the skin but also to the hair. If you live in a cold region, there is no option but to take a warm bath. But after that, try to give your hair a good blast of cold water. This will leave your hair shiny bright when dry.

Apply serum to wet hair:

Applying serum to your hair gives it the much-desired shine. But, this should be done in a proper manner. Rather than waiting for your hair to dry, apply the serum into wet hair. This not only helps speed up the drying process, but also ensures an even distribution of the serum throughout all the hair strands.

Never skip the conditioner:

Never skip the conditioner:

The conditioner helps control frizz, keeps the hair in place and does not let your hair get entangled. The conditioner can surely be of your choice, but always make it a point to condition your hair.

Leave-in conditioner:

Leave-in conditioner:

One celebrity secret for shiny hair is to treat your hair with a leave-in conditioner. Apply conditioner to the hair and cover it with a shower cap.

Avoid alcohol-based products:

Alcohol-based products tend to dry your hair and strip it off its natural shine. When going for hair care products, be careful to read the label. Alcohol in any of the products can mean dry lifeless hair and scalp.

Heat treatment always takes away the shine from your hair. As far as possible, steer clear of heating elements for your hair. Let it dry naturally.

Good styling is possible on healthy hair, and to have healthy hair, you need to care for it. Though dryer and ironing rods may look very attractive, limit their use. They only damage your hair.

Oil treatment:

You may call this one of the celebrity hair care secrets, but it is also a grandmother's secret to healthy and shiny hair. Hot oil treatment has been trusted since ages.

It has stood the test of time and still continues to be one the best treatments you can give to your hair.

Masque treatment:

Masque treatment:

Another celebrity secret for shiny hair, but also an old home remedy to repair damaged hair, is the masque treatment. The only difference lies in the fact that earlier these masques were made at home, but now you get them in stores.

If you wish, you can whip up your very own with a number of ingredients from the kitchen. In fact, these can be safer and better for the hair.

Call them celebrity hair secrets or grandmother's solutions to hair problems, they are all the same and work equally good.
