Glow season is here, let’s make it botanical. Shiny hair isn’t just about looks — it’s about health. Dullness signals that the cuticle (the hair’s protective layer) isn’t lying smooth enough to reflect light. In summer, UV rays, humidity, and styling stress often strip away that natural gloss.

With the right summer routine, you can win the fight against heat and transform potential damage into lasting shine and strength. How Heat Damages Hair UV Rays Break down keratin, the protein that gives hair structure Fade hair...
