Simple steps to shiny hair

It’s the holy grail of healthy tresses, but it doesn’t have to come at a price. Get a mirrorlike shine using products from your kitchen.

Mix two tablespoons of runny honey to two cups of warm water. Pour into an empty plastic spray bottle. Shake the solution and spray on mid-lengths and ends before combing through your hair. Leave to dry.

For a more intensive treatment, use mayonnaise! It’s full of amino acids, which strengthen hair to encourage a glossier finish. Take a couple of spoonfuls and massage it in. Put on a shower cap or towel to trap the heat and let the mayo penetrate. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse and shampoo hair as normal.
