✨ Dull Hair? Here’s How to Bring Back the Shine

We all want shiny, healthy-looking hair—but if your strands are looking dull, dry, or lifeless lately, you’re not alone. Sun, heat styling, color buildup, and even your water can steal your hair’s sparkle. The good news? You don’t have to live with dull hair.

At Cedar Rose Salon and Suites, we have both in-salon and at-home solutions to revive shine, boost vibrancy, and bring your hair back to life.

💡 Why Is My Hair Dull?

Let’s break it down—dull hair usually means the cuticle (outer layer of your hair) is rough or damaged, causing light to scatter instead of reflect. Here’s what might be causing it:

  • Hard water or product buildup

  • Frequent heat styling

  • Skipping regular trims

  • Over-processing or color fading

  • Not using the right products for your hair type

The result? Hair that looks matte, flat, and just kind of blah.

💎 5 Ways to Make Your Hair Shine Again

We’ve rounded up our go-to treatments, products, and expert recommendations to bring your hair back to glossy, touchable life:

1. Get a Gloss or Toner Appointment

Our Oligo Gloss/Toner service is a game-changer for dull or faded hair color. It refreshes tone, seals the cuticle, and adds an insane amount of shine—without the commitment of full color. Whether you're a blonde, brunette, or redhead, this treatment will leave your hair feeling softer, shinier, and more vibrant.

💡 Pro tip: Book a gloss every 6-8 weeks between color appointments to keep your hair looking fresh and polished.

2. Surface Bassu Hydrating Oil

This is one of our favorite products for dry, dull hair. The Surface Bassu Hydrating Oil uses babassu oil to deeply moisturize and add mirror-like shine—without making your hair greasy. Pair it with the Nutriplenish Deep Masque once a week for a deep hydration reset.

3. Aveda Nutriplenish™ Lines

If you're dealing with buildup or rough texture, Aveda has your back. For moisture and softness, the Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner is a must—it detangles, protects from heat, and adds luster all in one.

4. Kevin Murphy Shimmer.Shine Spray

Want shine instantly? This lightweight, reflective mist adds a golden shimmer to any hair color. It’s perfect after styling, before a night out, or anytime your hair just needs a little extra glow.

Bonus: It’s packed with antioxidants and essential oils to nourish while it works.

5. Clarify and Start Fresh

If your hair feels weighed down or coated, it might be time for a clarifying treatment. Kevin Murphy’s Maxi Wsh or Aveda’s Rosemary Mint Purifying Shampoo gently detox the scalp and strands—so your treatments and masks can do their job better.
