4 Ways To Add Shine To Your Red Hair

Updated: October 25th, 2023

The winter months can really damage your hair, leaving it looking dull and unhealthy. Use these simple tricks to keep it looking shiny and beautifully red:

1. KEEP THE MOISTURE IN

Using a humidifier isn’t only good to lock moisture into your hair, but it will help keep your skin dewy as well! If that’s not enough to get the shiny bounce you’re looking for, try out Finally Glossy® Shine & Luminosity Shampoo for Redheads.

It took many years to custom-make the Finally Glossy® formula and we’re so excited for redheads to enjoy it. We’re thrilled to release another clean redhead beauty product. It is paraben-free, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, petroleum-free, mineral-oil, and vegan. It also contains no perfume, is free of gluten and is silicone-free, phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free and cocamidopropyl betaine-free. This clean formula is formulated with Vitamin B3, olive oil, coconut oil and green tea.

2. DIET DOES MATTER

Foods that are good for your skin are good for your hair too and give it a natural shine…and they’re good for you too!  Think salmon, dark greens, beans, nuts, and eggs—they all have essential oils and healthy fats that will boost the immunity of your locks (and get you swimsuit ready by summertime)!

3. PLAY NICE WITH STYLING TOOLS

Stick to boar-bristle brushes and ionic blow dryers while styling your hair.  Boar-bristle brushes are much less damaging than their plastic counterparts, and ionic blow dryers are scientifically designed to protect your hair from the harsh heat.  For an added protection factor, use a heat protection spray—it’s like sunscreen for each strand of your precious ginger mane.

BONUS: How to be a Redhead Soft Microfiber Hair Towel

When drying your hair opt to use a microfiber towel! Introducing the How to be a Redhead Soft Microfiber Hair Towel for Redheads. Because wet hair is at its most vulnerable, this custom microfiber towel gently and carefully absorbs moisture from your red hair and dries it quickly, all while protecting it from stretching and breakage. This design is uniquely shaped to wrap all of your hair securely (no matter the length), with an elastic strap to comfortably keep things in place. Your hair journey starts here, redheads.

4. KEEP IT CLEAN:

Hard water from your shower and even everyday life can lead to damaging mineral buildup on your hair, especially near the roots.  It can weigh your hair down and make the color look dull and brassy (especially for us redheads!).  To battle the build-up, cleanse your hair with a mixture of ¼ cup apple cider vinegar and ¾ cup water and apply every other week for an at-home treatment that will inspire salon envy.
