Q. What’s the best way to keep graying hair shiny? Bonnie Berger; Framingham, MA

A. Gray hair can often grow in wiry and that type of hair texture is prone to dryness and frizz, both of which can result in a lackluster appearance. To offset this problem, start with a moisture-rich shampoo and a light conditioner. Then, add a deep conditioning masque, like Biolage rejuvathérapie Age Rejuvenating Intensive Masque, to your routine one to two times per week. If your hair’s texture is fine, concentrate the mask strictly on the ends and avoid the scalp area so that your style doesn’t become weighed down. Deep conditioning the ends of your hair keeps split ends to a minimum, which in turn keeps frizzies at bay. Blow drying is another major shine buster. It dehydrates the hair causing dull looking, dried out strands. If you do blow-dry regularly, always use a heat protection product beforehand. And for shine and smoothness, no matter your hair type, skip the blowdry when possible and work a drop or two of Biolage colorcarethérapie Delicate Care Organic Certified Oil through damp hair. The paraben- and silicone-free treatment, smoothes strands and infuses hair with optimal shine. In no time at all, your gray hair will be glossy and gorgeous.
