Luxurious hair doesn’t come cheap at all and is something most women only get to experience once a month, if they are lucky. But, there’s a way to cheat it with just four little things we should keep in mind.

The first thing all women must take into account to even get close to it is the high-shine of the hair. All expensive treatments imply conditioners, masks, and all sorts of serums to keep the hair shiny and eliminate frizz. However, since not all of us can afford to spend this much, to get precisely the same results, a daily leave-in conditioner, as well as sleeping in a deep-conditioning mask at least once a week.

The shine factor now taken care of, expensive hair also means the closest thing to natural hair. Natural-looking hair is not the hue we were born with, but the one we should have been. The secret to that is to always keep the base within three shades of the natural color and, if a lighter tone is desired, a visit to the salon for highlights is first on the priorities list. Improper at-home attempts of going from brunette to blonde, or from blonde to red should be avoided at all costs, because they arethe “enemy of chic.”

Next is “simple, chic accessories.” Since you would never catch a rich girl with just a rubber band in her hair we too must match our expensive looking hair with genuine leather items, or soft, cotton or silk headbands and scarves. Tackiness must be avoided when it comes to hair too.

However, none of the above is worth anything if the cut is not right. Rich women will never go for trendy haircuts, simply because they’re not the type to rush out the door and go straight into the salon to get their favorite sitcom star’s do. They will, instead, go for classic cuts that come spiced with just one thing, like bangs or several layers. Moneyed locks also means no split ends, so we should all start by making a note on our calendars to visit a hairstylist every six weeks to make sure that never happens.
