Super shiny hair

What do I buy? Long hair, coloured and very dull at the moment. Had been using Aveda but doesn't seem to be having the effect it originally did. All recommendations welcome

Coconut oil.

chewbaccathehooky · 30/09/2017 12:35

What do I do with it? Pre wash or condition?

Coconut oil doesn't do it for me.

Macadamia deep conditioning masque makes my hair soft and swishy ( from dry bleached hair) - but no brilliant shine.

Are there any sprays which add 'shine'?

I don't find coconut oil effective. I used to like those vo5 hot oils-do they exist anymore?!

I wonder if Lush do anything-I do generally like their products.

If you want temporary shine and don't care about loading your hair with silicones then schwarzkopf gliss shine tonic spray is what you are looking for. www.amazon.co.uk/Schwarzkopf-Gliss-Shine-Tonic-100ml/dp/B001RYSH8U?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Schwarzkopf sealed ends is also very good and you only need a tiny amount so a small tube will last you a very long time.

Color wow one minute transformation is also excellent although a little more pricey, but will again last a long time. www.amazon.co.uk/COLOR-WOW-One-Minute-Transformation/dp/B00G187CP6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506774261&sr=8-1&keywords=color+wow+transformation&tag=mumsnetforum-21

Osmo intensive hair mask once a week is also very good for this. It's dirt cheap and just as good as brands that cost ten times as much.

For me though, I have found that going sls and silicone free plus ditching hair dye and styling products has made my hair very shiny in the long run. I really rate the As I Am range of shampoos/co-washes for this along with Yes to coconuts conditioner.

Thank you, people - have just ordered the Schwarzkopf spray one for temporary shine

Inecto coconut hair oil or serum.
