Hair 'finishing' product to add shine

13 replies

MorelloKisses · 30/05/2014 14:09

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations on a hair finishing product to add shine. I would like one that can be used as the final step, so after hairspray, rather than a serum that goes on wet/ before styling.

Thanks

(I'm darkish brunette if that matters)

No advise but this is also something I'm in need of Grin

Tigi Headrush is brilliant. You can get it on eBay

After hairspray, surely not? Spray should be the final step.

I use Frizz Ease secret agent - then spray if I need it.

Morrocan Oil is fab for finishing with a bit of shine, just don't use too much!

Um...well after because.... Not necessarily after hairspray, but probably not an oil, serum or anything you smooth in.

I should have been more clear... I am envisaging something to spray on after, say using a dry shampoo, which ob vs makes it too dull...

I figured after hairspray as the spray would dull the shine...or not, so after dry shampoo but before hairspray...? Maybe I want the impossible.

Maybe you need a shining hair spray, I'm sure I've seen such things in Boots? Tbh though I don't think anything would work after a dry shampoo.

Second Tigi Headrush. Makes my hair nice and shine y and smells great.

I just use a serum afterwards.. you don't have to put it on wet hair. A little smoothed over before hairspray does the job just as well.

The John Frieda finishing shine spray is good. Also have a Tigi one that smells lovely (watermelons) but isn't quite as effective as the JF one imo

The Aussie stuff does a high gloss hair spray! Its fab on my hair but im blonde. Always get comments on how shiny my hair looks when ive used it.

I use Alterna Bamboo luminous shine mist.
My hairdresser recommended it.

Its lovely, smells fresh and gives a shine without making your hair feel sticky or weighted down.

If you are brunette have you tried the superdrug dry shampoo in brown? It's amazing for root re growth too.
I then use a tresemme hair spray & it's looks more normal shiny.
