Clear Rinses

[laketta]

I am having trouble finding product that give shine to my hair besides sheen sprays. (Sheen sprays tend to dry out my hair) My hair is natural and tends not to reflect light very well. Is it a good idea to use a clear rinse. Have any of you tried this?

 

[joyous]

I've never tried it but organic coconut oil always gives my natural hair a high shine.

hi lakettab

i think that you would like clear by clairol radiance colorgloss...you can buy it at sally's.

 

[Cindy70]

I tried the clear Clairol Jazzing once to see if it would give me any extra shine, but it seemed like my hair looked the same as usual.

 

[Katrine]

Not a clear rinse but have you tried honey? Put it in your final cool rinse.

I recommended this to someone else here the other day. You might want to try a bit of meadowfoam seed oil. It's a wonderful oil for extra shine. You can check it out at Nature's Wild Child.com. It's excellent! The smell has a touch of citrus which is nice, too.

What about trying some neutral henna "spiked" for extra moisture in the process?

I agree, Katrine, you have beautiful hair.

Regarding using the honey as a rinse, are you ever left with any stickiness in your hair when you do it?

 

[Supergirl]

Katrine,

Great Hair!

 

[Nessa]

I get a slear rinse every time I get my hair pressed. Not only does it give a beautiful shine, but it also protects your hair. I am not sure whcih brand my beautician uses though.

I love the waves. Yours are very pretty.

Thank you Nessa, leejure, Supergirl and Cindy

Cindy I have not experienced any stickyness.

You can instead mix the honey half and half with a conditioner and then rinse. This works like a deep treatment along with increasing shine.

Katrine your hair is REALLY stunning. The curls are so defined

What is your hairtype? What do you use for hold? I can never get my hair under control, its always Diana Ross-like. I'm always stuck with a ponytail/puff

again your hair IS

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

I recently used a hennalucent for this. The neutral one and it softened and conditioned my hair in the process.

 

[AMBERSKYE]

I have highlights and I would like to try the clear rinse by Adore (Creative Image).
I want more sheen and I believe this product can help me get it.
Do you think this is a good idea eventhough my hair is already color-treated?

My hairtype is 3B. I just use regular conditioner and sometimes oils. I only comb when wet.

Have you tried letting your hair dry in two braids (or in a bun)? That always give me nice defined waves.

Another thing (which I dont have patience to do) is twisting sections around your finger all over your head and letting airdry.
