1. WASH LESS
- 'Don't over wash your hair," says 2005 Australian Hairdresser of the Year, Oscar Cullinan. 'Only shampoo every other day or you'll strip the natural oils which give hair shine.'

2. GO NATURAL
- Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water and the juice of half a lemon, then massage into hair after washing to correct your hair's pH level and give it shine.

3. TREAT YOURSELF
- 'Use treatments regularly to help keep the cuticles in tact,' says Oscar.

4. IRON MAIDEN
- For instant shine, cheat and use a straightening iron to smooth strands.

5. SMOOTH IT OVER
- 'Hair that's curly or wavy has an uneven surface so it doesn't reflect light as well,' says nu:u 'hairologist' Michael Brennan. Smooth it up with a sleek shampoo.

6. BRUSH UP
- Invest in a good quality brush. It massages your scalp as you brush and will distribute your natural oils through your hair.

7. SWALLOW THIS
- 'Eat foods with high vitamin E and Omega 3 fat content, like nuts and fish, to keep your hair sleek,' says Oscar. Or u can cheat in capsule form of these vitamins =)

8. SPRITZ IT
- For a truly luxe lustre, spray your locks with hair shine. It will leave your hair scented too!

9. BRIGHTER BLONDE
- As blonde hair tends to be drier than other colours, it doesn't reflect as much light so it can look dull. When your hair's dry, use a treatment product to brighten it up.

10. GLOSS 'N' GO
- 'For a sleek finish, work a little serum into your hair,' says celebrity hairstylist Andrew Collinge.

A tip fr Denice's experience
- When blowdrying, keep it in one direction to avoid frizz
- Then finish off with a 1/2 a cent of serum for max shine.
