Here's what I use to make my hair shiny; it works great.
SMOOTHING CONDITION (The top is green)
BY PAUL MITCHELL
SUPER SKINNY SERUM
Smoothes and conditions unruly hair
Price: About $7.00
You don't need a lot!!! So it'll last you a while. Just pump it once, and it works great! If you use too much, your hair feels really greasy, so use a little. It makes it shiny, just like me. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
Vikki27 answered Friday August 25 2006, 5:36 pm: After washing your hair, give a blast of really cold water. This closes the follicles at the top which produce the oil onto your scalp, leaving your hair shinier for longer.
Beer is also supposed to be good. I know that sounds weird but apparently, if you rinse your hair with beer, it makes it shinier.
Also a hair masque (deep conditioning preferabley). I find Montagne Jeunesse products are excellent so I would recommend their hair masque.
Another trick that works is using a normal conditioner (if your hair is lifeless, try one for dry hair, which should promote shine because it moisturises it). Apply it to the main body of your hair but don't go up to the scalp. Wrap it in clingfilm or a towel and leave for 10 minutes. Then rinse out on a cold rinse. That should also help.

queenhearts answered Friday August 25 2006, 6:18 am: Well here's some options.
- Deep condition your hair
-The cuticle needs to be flat, so the light can reflection off your hair. **So brush your hair.. very gently.**
If you blowdry your hair, *use heat activated shampoos and conditions*. If you have "dull hair", it's lacking moisture. The product's moisturizers are released by the heat of the dryer
Here's some things I found off the net.
Home ingredients..
For a tea rinse: boil used tea leaves in enough water. Cool the liquid and use as a last rinse. It adds body and shine to the hair.
Lemon juice can be added to a mug of water and used as a last rinse. It gives your hair a shiny look.
Honey also helps to moisturize a dry sclap. One age-old recipe suggests that 40 to 50 drops of honey can be added to a pint of water, to make a honey lotion for the hair.
