In the same way that cold water can constrict your pores, it can also constrict your hair follicles, and doing this helps to lock in moisture from your shower that will result in your hair looking shinier for longer.
2. Salon Gloss
A clear gloss treatment is something that can give your hair a wonderful shine, but if you are going to do it, make sure that you save up to have it done by a professional at a salon rather than doing it at home!
