Why does shine indicate healthy hair?

Let us think for a moment how we define healthy hair.  The first adjectives which come to mind are glossy, luxuriant, and soft.  Why is it we consider shine a major attribute of beautiful, luxuriant hair?  What does it remind us of?  The radiance of sunshine, bright ripples of the water, the polished silver of flatware, or the white expanse of ice reflecting blinding sunshine?  What do these things have in common?

They all make us think of something clean and smooth.  Only ideally smooth surfaces shine and glimmer, free of blemishes or flaws, without a speck of dirt or dust.  The same associations hold true for hair.  Shiny hair which reflects light means it must be clean and smooth.  Smoothness means no damage, no split ends, and adequate moisture content.Only well-nourished, manageable hair can project this impression.  And when are we free of hair, tooth or skin problems? 

The answer is easy – only when there is nothing wrong with us.  Remember, the condition of your hair shows what is going on inside your body.  When hair loses its luster, it is a clear warning signal something has gone wrong, that it is running short on vitamins and microelements.  So let us listen to the messages the hair sends us.
