The Quick Secret For Shiny Hair
Whether you’re heading to a big event or just want your hair to catch the light in all the right ways, shine can elevate any style. But achieving glossy, healthy-looking hair without weighing it down? That’s where expert techniques and the right products come in. We asked Anh Co Tran how he uses Milbon’s Shimmer products to get that luminous finish every time.
The Secret Weapon for Updos: Milbon Brilliant Shine Spray
When prepping clients for red carpets, Anh reaches for Milbon’s Brilliant Shine Spray to bring a polished, radiant finish to the hair, especially updos. He likes how it sprays on well, it doesn’t weigh the hair down, and it does not collapse the shape. If Anh puts curls in, it gives the hair a nice reflective coating. Lightweight and non-sticky, the shimmer spray adds a sheer coating of shine without interfering with the volume or texture of a style. It’s a go-to for sleek buns or ponytails on the red carpet, where shine needs to last without looking greasy or heavy.
Pro Tip: Anh said to make sure you apply Milbon’s Brilliant Shine Spray before you apply Milbon’s Strong Hold Hairspray. If you use hairspray first, it locks the hair, and the shine spray won’t take effect.
For All-Over Shine: Oils That Seal in Gloss
If your goal is to have consistently shiny hair, Anh recommends starting with a shine-boosting oil on damp strands before heat styling. His go-to: Milbon’s Brilliant Polishing Oil. Anh said it is good for all types of hair, especially fine hair. For thicker or more damaged hair, he suggests Milbon’s Illuminating Glow Oil, a richer formula that adds more intense radiance and seals the cuticle.
Anh’s process:
- Wash with Illuminating Glow Shampoo & Treatment for a base of hydration and smoothness.
- Apply Brilliant Polishing Oil or Illuminating Glow Oil to damp hair.
- Blow-dry to seal in the shine and finish off with Brilliant Shine Spray.
When to Use What
- Brilliant Shine Spray: Best for updos, sleek styles, and last-step touch-ups on any hair type. Adds a soft shine without altering shape or texture.
- Brilliant Polishing Oil: Perfect for fine to medium hair. Add light moisture and shine pre-blowout.
- Illuminating Glow Oil: Ideal for thick, coarse, or damaged hair that needs a more potent dose of radiance.
