We all want shinier, healthier, and more voluminous red hair, but what steps can we take to actually get the hair we dream of? Healthy hair is part genetics, part diet, and part care. Your genetics are set in stone, so you have to work with what you have, but the things you eat and how you take care of your red hair can really make a difference. Getting started with healthy hair changes can be hard, so check out this list and try to complete them one at a time:
1. Brush your hair every single day: Preferably with a boar bristle hair brush.
2. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water will keep your hair soft and shiny.
3. Don’t overwash: Stripping your hair of its natural oils reduces shine.
4. Use a luminosity shampoo: Like Finally Glossy®
5. Add a weekly hair mask to your routine: Helps to reduce frizz, and add shine. Read about the $13 hair mask one of our writer’s can’t get enough of.
6. Take hair vitamins*: Sometimes healthy hair needs a little help.
7. Use a silk or satin pillowcase: Helps to keep your hair silky soft. See some recommendations here.
8. Find a good leave-in conditioner: Hair care outside the shower is just as important.
9. Try double shampooing: Really clean out all of the grime and oils build-up.
10. Do an at-home blow out: Adds volume and helps to tame frizz.
11. Use a microfiber towel: Say goodbye to your old terrycloth towel, and swap for microfiber.

14. And conditioner to your ends: Conditioner is for hydrating and nourishing.

16. Add dry shampoo: For added volume, spritz dry shampoo on your roots.
17. Eat healthy fats*: To add shine and get healthy hair.
18. Wear more protective styles: Wear hairstyles that keep your natural waves/curls protected. Check out some right here.
