Take Marian Rivera's long locks for example. It's the poster child for commercial shiny hair and it's all courtesy of hairstylist Vien Nueva.

“I've been working with Marian since 2017 and I've always loved styling her in a high pony, beach waves, and even big curls because I feel like I'm creating a different character - that's the most exciting part,” says Vien, the accountant-turned-hairstyling genius behind Marian Rivera, Iya Villania, and Bianca Umali's commanding locks.

So if you're just as curious to know, here are Nueva's five rules for treating your hair right to achieve the hair we've all been longing for.

Go for sulfate-free shampoos

“In order to achieve commercial shiny hair, try using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Once you transition to these hair products, you'll notice that your mane automatically becomes smooth and bouncy as it adds volume to your hair without applying any products,” advices Vien.

Treat your hair once in a while. Similar to how you treat yourself with shopping, Vien says that it's okay to spend a little more for your hair once a while.

“Go to the salon and treat your hair once a while. Go for a hair spa, get a hot oil or keratin treatment. It helps your hair become healthy and manageable.”

If going to the salon is not your cup of tea, deep conditioners can be an alternative for a fraction of the price and you can do it at the comfort of your own home too.

Heat protectant spray is key

When dealing with heat products, Vien gives importance to using heat protectant sprays.

“Before blow drying, curling, or straightening your hair, always, always use heat protectant spray. You may not notice but it really helps reduce breakage and provides long-lasting volume without weighing the hair down”.

Dry shampoos can be an alternative. Another way to take care of your hair is by using dry shampoos. For color-treated hair, Vien's advice is to wash only two to three times a week. “On your off days, try using color-safe dry shampoos. These will refresh your hair and make it look like you just got a blowout without even having to wash your hair.”

Eat Healthy and get some Zzz's

Your hair grows six inches per year and how fast it grows depends on factors like age, health, and of course, diet.

“If there's one tip I'd like them to remember, that's to eat a healthy diet and get some sleep,” says Vien.

As it turns out, sleep helps increase hair growth and prevent hair loss.
