how can i get shimmery shiny hair?

[headfairy]

My hair's coloured so I know the condition is going to be compromised, but I do try and take care of it. I do use Frizz Ease on the ends, and Tresemme shampoo and conditioner appropriate to my hair type, but it's not shiny. And I want glossy shiny hair

permanent blow dry. LIFE CHANGING.

or one of the hair oils like moroccan oil or argan oil products are supposed to be good.

Throw away the frizz ease and buy Moroccan Oil from hairdressers.

Are you all fake blondes? I've noticed that brunettes have much shinier hair than blondes.

ooh, I see amazon are doing a small bottle of morrocan oil for a tenner here I'm quite tempted to give it a whirl.

Do you put it along the whole length of your hair? I have quite oily roots and dry ends (because of the colouring) so I usually only ever put the Frizz Ease on the ends. It worked for a while but it's just not doing the job any more.

Are you blonde OP?
I agree re: shiny brunettes but I have found since and getting the hairdresser to add more than one colour to my highlights - have a few ginger caramels and honeys to the bleach and also taking the time to properly blowdry or use the babyliss big hair makes it v shiny
(usual disclaimers apply)

With Moroccan oil, less is more. You just need a small amount. I have very thick hair and couldn't get my head around using such a small amount and used to put too much in, but you really don't need to; in fact, shouldn't for the best results.

Also, you might not notice a difference straight away - it took lots of uses before I started noticing the improvement in my hair.

Another suggestion is coconut oil - there's a thread going in here on that too. Cheaper alternative to Moroccan/argan oil.

Olivia I am fake blonde.. I think fair hair absorbs the light while darker hair reflects it looking shinier. But I look like I've got some kind of terminal illness when I have darker hair so I'm sticking with my fake blonde. I do have three different colours put in, two tints (one dark blonde, one more ginger caramel) and one bleach.

slinking I have tried Shea butter on the ends as someone suggested that once, but I must admit I only tried it a couple of times and being impatient I didn't try again.

Philip Kingsley Elasticiser every 2-3 weeks
Tresemmé Naturals shampoo and conditioner (sulphate-free - has transformed my hair)
Parlux hairdryer - amazing

Heard about all these on MN - my hair's in the best condition it's been in for years :)
