The Luxury Guide For Shiny, Healthy Hair

Nothing says polished and put-together quite like impossibly shiny, healthy hair—the kind that looks luxuriously soft, catches the light, and mimics that fresh-from-the-salon look. But achieving that level of gloss isn’t just about good genetics—it’s about the right care, tools, and products. And with the explosion of advanced hair care options for home, it’s never been easier to nourish, protect and enhance your strands, unlocking that coveted glass like appearance. Here we break down the secrets to glossy hair, plus a roundup of must-have products that will help you get there. —Lauren Walker-Lee

Start with a Shine-Boosting Cleanse

A solid foundation is key to maintaining hair health, and that starts in the shower. The Oribe Shine Shampoo ($61) and Conditioner ($65) is a luxe duo that deeply hydrates while infusing strands with a luminous sheen. Packed with natural extracts and Oribe’s shine enhancing blend, that leaves you with hair that practically glows – all achieved with your at home hair ritual. The pair delivers weightless hydration, and silky smoothness to set you up for glossy locks that are beaming with brilliance. And if you are already an Oribe devotee you may want to check out the award winning Mirror Rinse Glass Treatment ($80).

Intensive Shine and Damage Repair

Jonathan Van Ness has you covered if you’re needing next level deep-conditioning. The JVN Revive Rapid Repair Bond Gloss Shine & Damaged Hair Treatment Mask ($49) is a convenient one minute shine miracle in a bottle. This powerful mask strengthens compromised strands while infusing intense glass like shine, helping to reverse damage and leave hair looking glossy and healthy. The 60 second treatment will instantly smooth hair cuticles for radiance, and helps to rebuild and restore keratin bonds for stronger, healthier strands.

Upgrade Your Beauty Sleep

Your pillowcase might be dulling your shine. Cotton creates friction, leading to frizz and breakage. Switching to a silk pillowcase ($130) from Emily’s Pillow reduces friction, locking in moisture for smoother, healthier hair. Created by former aerospace engineer Laure Lagarde, this 100% pure mulberry silk pillowcase is luxuriously soft, sustainable, and crafted for beauty benefits. It prevents tangles, split ends, and frizz while regulating sebum for hydrated, radiant hair. Blowouts last longer, curls stay defined, and silk’s antibacterial, thermoregulating properties enhance both hair and skin. The silk pillowcase is one of the best-kept beauty secrets in history. The great empresses and princesses slept with silk in order to preserve their hairstyle. Think of it as a beauty treatment while you sleep.

Use the Right Brush

A high-quality brush can transform your hair care routine. The La Bonne Brosse N.01 Shine and Care Universal Brush ($214) is expertly designed to gently detangle while evenly distributing your hair’s natural oils—boosting shine and reducing grease for healthier, more radiant locks. Handcrafted in France, this luxurious brush features premium boar bristles and durable materials, honouring artisanal craftsmanship.  Luxury in your hand, you’ll love using this heirloom-worthy piece and upleveling your hair game.

Smooth Styling

For a sleek, long-lasting blowout, KERASILK Smoothing Blow Dry Cream ($42) is a must. This heat-activated formula smooths the hair surface while maintaining flexible, natural movement and radiant shine. Infused with Biomimetic Silk and Shea Oil, it nourishes strands while protecting against heat damage up to 230 C. Say goodbye to frizz and hello to effortlessly polished hair.

Strengthen from Within

Healthy, shiny hair starts from the inside, Agent Nateur Holi Mane powder ($124) is a powerhouse supplement packed with adaptogens, collagen, and biotin to support hair growth, strength, and shine. Think of it as an inside-out approach to that glossy finish. It Girl approved, Agent Nateur is loved by the Gee Beauty sisters in Toronto and Miami who are known to introduce the best in holistic beauty to their customers around the world.
