3 Simple Tricks To Achieve Stunning Salon-Quality Hair at Home
Find yourself struggling to manage and upkeep your hair at home? These three simple techniques offer salon-quality looks without the hefty price tag.
Boost hair color with this gloss.
When color starts to fade, salons offer a costly pigment-depositing glaze to restore its vibrancy. But you can reap similar results with a drugstore-bought clear gloss! It coats any hue with sheer, shine-inducing molecules for long-lasting, luminous color.

Hydrate dry strands with a ‘thermal cap.’
In-salon conditioning treatments include 30 minutes under a dryer so ingredients can absorb. For hydrated hair at home in half the time, try a shea butter–infused self-heating cap. Massaging the cap onto the head deposits conditioner onto hair and activates its warming effect.

Tame frizz with an in-shower treatment.
Pricey keratin treatments are a salon go-to — they seal hair’s cuticles so frizzy strands lay flat. The cheaper fix? Add an argan oil “booster” to your shampoo. Its fatty acids weigh down hair to nix frizz.
