Tracy - Thanks for the Cellophane Tip

[Nyambura]

I applied the clear cellophane last night. I wish I had done this sooner. The cellophane was easy to apply. Next time, though, I will leave it on for 30 minutes as opposed to 20. Regardless, I love the results /images/graemlins/cool.gif. My hair is so shiny /images/graemlins/grin.gif and my highlights I LOVE /images/graemlins/grin.gif - they haven't looked this good since I first got them.

Thank you, Tracy, for all your help re: relaxed, colored hair. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I am soooo glad you liked it. I really believe in this product not only for appearance but really for the health of the hair as well.

 

[Tracy]

Oh and you're absolutely welcome m'ija. No problem at ALL.

I'm so glad you had a good experience. /images/graemlins/grin.gif I KNEW you would. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi Tracy,
is Jazzing clear the same thing as a clear cellophane?
Is Jazzing damaging?

 

[Tracy]

CICI,

Jazzing is the same type of product - just not as good IMO. I've used and I still do. But it doesn't last as long and the shine isn't quite as in your face.

It is good for a quick fix or if you want a less expensive option besidesthe Sebastian. Like Sebastian - it's not damaging in the least. But it won't lift your color any levels. It will only deposit a shiny, translucent "tint" of color onto the hair. Same great health benefit for the hair. Seals those cuticles - just not for as long as the Sebastian would.

 

[CICI24]

Okay, Thank you Tracy!

Tracy, what is cellophane? How does it benefit your hair and where can I buy it? I've heard about the Sebastian's colorshines is it around the same thing? Must know must know

 

[asummertyme]

i think i may do a clear 2day.....thnx for reminding me.

 

[Tracy]

Tbird - a cellpphane is a color gloss that adds a translucent wash of color (or none, they make a clear version if you don't want color) that also protects the hair and keeps the cuticle sealed for some time. I use them as a preventative measure - to stave off damage from routine handling and add goo gobs of shine!

Sebastian Colorshines are the same thing. They used to be called Cellophanes...

Where you can buy it in NC? No idea - I'm as new to these digs as you are...I think you can buy it online, but I'm not sure where. I have a stash from NYC and I'll restock when I go back since it's only about 20 bucks when I buy it there and I've never seen it cheaper than that.

Thanks!

Tracy I found the website http://www.adiscountbeauty.com/page315.html
Have you tried other colors or only the clear? My hair is already dark so I was thinking maybe the Ginger. TIA!!!!

 

[Tracy]

The Ginger won't show much if your hair is dark. Maybe a little in the sun....

I've used almost all of them - including the clear.

The darker browns and reds are better for enriching the tones of dark hair but it won't lighten.
