How to get shiny and healthy hair: 7 key steps that really work

Healthy and shiny hair isn’t just about genetics. Its appearance is influenced by many factors – from lifestyle and care to nutrition. If you’re aiming for strong, smooth, and naturally shiny hair, here are 7 proven tips that are definitely worth adding to your daily routine.

1. Nutrition starts from within: Give your body the building blocks it needs

Healthy hair needs proteins, vitamins, and minerals. One of the key nutrients for its nourishment is collagen – especially in the form of hydrolyzed bovine collagen type I and III, which is most similar to the collagen naturally found in the human body.

💡 Try it:
Divique Multicollagen contains a high dose of pure hydrolyzed collagen without unnecessary additives and dissolves perfectly even in cold water. Your hair will thank you for the regular supply of the right building blocks.

2. Hyaluronic Acid: Not Just for the Skin

Hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture not only in the skin but also in the scalp. And a healthy scalp = healthy hair roots. It also supports hair elasticity and shine.

💡Tip: Go for the combination of collagen and hyaluronic acid – exactly what you’ll find in our beauty capsules – a unique blend for daily beauty care from within.

3. Avoid excessive blow-drying and straightening.

High temperatures weaken the hair, dry it out and damage its natural protective layer. If you can’t avoid blow-drying or straightening, try using a lower heat setting or apply a heat protection spray.

4. Scalp Massage: A Simple but Effective Trick

A regular gentle scalp massage boosts circulation and supports healthy hair growth. Just 5 minutes a day is enough – ideally while washing your hair or applying a hair oil.

5. Hydration & Drinking Routine

Hair is largely made up of water, so its appearance is closely linked to how much fluid you drink each day. It’s also worth adding vitamin C to your diet – it supports collagen production and acts as a powerful antioxidant.

💡 Try this:
Divique Camu Camu with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid – a complete care formula to support the beauty of your hair, skin and nails.

6. Finish with a cold water rinse

It may surprise you, but rinsing your hair with cold water after washing helps to close the hair cuticles. This locks in moisture, makes your hair smoother, shinier and less prone to split ends. Just 10–15 seconds of cold water at the end of your shower can make a difference.

7. Chia seed gel as natural styling + care

Mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 100 ml of water, let them soak overnight or simmer briefly and strain – you’ll get a natural gel you can use as a leave-in treatment or a light styling product. It gently holds the hair, adds shine and hydration without weighing it down or using any chemicals.

💡 It also contains omega-3 fatty acids that have an anti-inflammatory effect on the scalp.

Shiny hair is no coincidence

Beautiful hair starts from within – with proper nutrition, hydration, and quality care. Give your hair the best, and it will reward you with healthy shine and vitality.
