Gloss treatment

[NYAngel98]

Yeah, it's pretty foolproof. Just apply it all over - like you would a shampoo. It's fine on highlighted hair because it will help fill in any porous ares from the bleach and add shine. It should last about 3-4 weeks, but depends on the condition of your hair. When I do it, I just apply it all over... pile loosely on top of my head, and hit it with the blowdryer... after about 20 min. wash out, condition, and style as usual. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Great! So I should buy the clear version of this, right?

 

[NYAngel98]

for shine only without added color... yes, get clear /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OK, and does my hair have to be perfectly clean (like out of the shower, dried, with no product in it) or can I have had hairspray in it? Hopefully I will have the time to do this tonight..

sorry for all the questions, but you are our resident hair expert, right? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Has anyone tried the gloss treatment on permed hair? I'm thinking about trying this but don't want to ruin my waves.

 

[NYAngel98]

Hey Cass... it's better on clean hair - only because it mainly coats with little penetration... so you don't really want a barrier (like gel or hairspray) to diminish the effect. I mean you'll still get good results ... but if possible, do it on clean, dry hair. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I love questions... so keep em' coming! :icon_chee

Cindy - it's fine for perms.. as long as you didn't perm it within the past week or two, you'll be fine. It's not going to change the structure of your hair... just give it some shine. It only has some minimal penetration so that it'll last more than a few shampoos. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[CassBH]

Oh, oh! You're in trouble telling me you love questions, since I love to ask them!!

OK, I will give it a shot on clean, dry hair. Just for curiousity sake, is there a more lasting product that delivers shine?

Cass

 

[NYAngel98]

LOL!! I'm ready for ya!!! lol :icon_chee

I haven't really tried anything that I found to be longer lasting... at least something that you can do yourself. A lot of salons offer treatments, but depending on your hair texture, sometimes even the 'high end' names will fail to last. Like Tiffany mentioned before - ISO makes a decent one... but for what you'd probably pay to have a salon do it for you everytime, you might just be better off doing it yourself, and just more often. But the Jazzing might last awhile on you... it really depends person to person. So I'd give it a try - see how it is, and then if you want... try a salon treatment the next time, and see what works better on your hair. :icon_wink

OK,. well I did the Jazzing thing, and i guess my hair looks a bit shinier, though I was not blown away. Will see how it looks over the next few days. Either way, it was a lot of work to wash my hair, dry it with no product, then throw this stuff in, and wash and dry again. I was curious, it says on the product to apply it to towel dried hair. So does that mean the hair can be wet/damp? Will it take as well? I might consider doing it again if I could skip that step (can you tell I hate blowdrying my hair?).

What products do you like, oh hair-guru /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />, that are just temporary, for between shampoos, that might add some shine?

Thanks!

Cass

 

[NYAngel98]

hmmm... well... StraightSexyHair's smooth & seal spray is really nice. Keeps the frizz away and adds some shine. And I beleive your hair can be damp/air dried for the Jazzing to work. :icon_wink

 

[CassBH]

Cool! I will try that. What about some tips/tricks/products that can help keep your hair looking "Clean" (not greasy) between washings? I try not to wash my hair every day (usually every other). Any ideas?

[cottoncandy]

[NYAngel98]

Using ceramic brushes helps make hair shiny too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Clairol Jazzing sounds great! I found it online at www.haircareusa.com, they have the other colors as well. It sells for $6.50 plus shipping.

 

[CassBH]

Hey there! I did not get to the store yet to purchase the Soy shampoo you recommended, but I do have a question for you related to that. Do you truly feel that different shampoos make a real difference in the way hair looks? I guess my thinking is that, if it is something that you are just washing out, how much stuff really stays behind to make a difference?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this, as a professional! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also, my experience with the Jazzing is that it did not make enough of a difference in my hair to warrant doing it again. But that's just me. Could work well for others. I think I will continue my search for the best shine enhancer that is used during the styling process.

I see differences in a lot of products... but that doesn't always mean that something that costs more $ is usually better -- sometimes, it's not. I just find that the Soy shampoo worked really well for me, and you seem to have a similar hair texture, so you might like it too. There are other high end shampoos that I wouldn't waste my $ on... because they contain too much wax or other products that seem to weigh my hair down and leave it looking dirty. Pantene can do that for 1/2 the price! lol It's all pretty much trial n' error. But I love Biolage and the SexyHair lines... those are high ends that I think really ARE worth the extra $. Even if you're just rinsing it out. It helps to build up the cuticle of the hair and deposits conditioners to help keep the hair looking healthy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[CassBH]

good enough for me! I am grabbing this stuff today and will let you know how it works for my hair. Any other products that you like for yourself (since our hair is probably similar in texture) let me know! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks,
