Use cold water when you wash your hair

It might be hard to wash your hair in ice-cold water, but if you want silky, smooth hair, make it as chilly as you can take. Cold water helps the hair shaft lie flat, so when it dries it has a smooth, shiny appearance. Hot water has the opposite effect, creating frizz and drying out your hair.

Wash with sulfate-free shampoo

Sulfates are found in many cleansers, including dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, and more. Sulfates are effective and washing away oil and grease, but using this ingredient on your hair can be too harsh and damaging. Look for sulfate-free shampoo that will cleanse your hair without stripping away its protective oils.

Use a moisturizing conditioner

Conditioner helps hair stay smooth and silky by moisturizing it and keeping it tangle-free. Look for a conditioner that will keep your hair smooth without weighing it down. Silicone-free conditioner is best, since silicones build up in your hair and cause it to look dull after awhile.

Use anti-frizz serum

 This product is sold in drugstores and is an effective way to keep frizz at bay if your hair tends to be dry and coarse. Smooth some in after taking a shower, or apply it while your hair is dry if it frizzes up during the day.

Try argan oil

 This oil is made from a tree that grows in Morocco. It has been found to have restorative properties that help hair stay smooth, strong and healthy. It’s so lightweight that you can apply it to your hair as a leave-in conditioner. Just smooth a little into your hair, focusing on the tips, while your hair is still damp after shampooing.

Do a coconut oil treatment

Once a week, try this treatment to get soft, smooth, shiny hair. Take a tablespoon or so of coconut oil and comb it into your hair from the roots to the tips, making sure every strand is covered. Cover your hair with a shower cap or a piece of plastic wrap and let the oil sit in your hair for an hour or overnight. Shampoo your hair two or three times to rinse out all of the oil. When your hair dries, you’ll be impressed with the results.

Do an egg white hair mask

 This makes a great stand-in for conditioner, and will instantly create a softer, shinier look. Separate two eggs and whisk the whites in a bowl. In the shower, wet your hair and apply the egg whites, making sure to comb it through from the roots to the tips. Let it sit while you do everything else you need to do in the shower, then shampoo your hair to rinse it out.

Beer mask

Beer works as an excellent hair tonic. The proteins (hops and malt) in beer help repair damaged hair cuticles and provide nourishment to hair follicles. This in turn adds luster and shine to your hair.

1. Wash your hair with shampoo and then apply flat beer from the root to the ends.
2. Massage the beer thoroughly into your scalp using circular motions.
3. Allow it to sit for about five minutes and then rinse it off.
4. Follow this remedy once every two weeks.
