dull hair

Mane without shine

Dull hair lacks shine or luster, appearing flat and lifeless rather than glossy.

The phrase appears constantly in shampoo commercials and beauty writing, where products promise to transform dull hair into something vibrant: This treatment revives dull, damaged hair.

Hair becomes dull from buildup, damage, or lack of moisture.
