Anecdotally, my cousin came over and her hair looked so shiny, healthy and extra black. I asked if she had done anything different and she said she got a hair gloss at her salon. It looked great on her and I really noticed!

The redken color acidic gloss is insane. My hair is silky smooth after. Not a gloss but highly recommend sleeping with the kerastase 8hr hair lotion in as well. I feel the lotion prolongs the soft feeling of the gloss without it looking oily/losing volume.

I love the L'Oreal Glycolic Acid hair gloss. It definitely makes my hair shiny and it also makes the hair incredibly smooth.

Idk if this is true but I tried to get a hair gloss at the salon and the lady said it was basically clear toner. So I just got toner for my highlights instead. I think it’s only supposed to last 6-8 weeks at most.

I have used up around half of my bottle of Kerastase Chroma Absolu Color Gloss. I have virgin curly hair and don’t really notice any difference. I wanted more shine and reflection but honestly I don’t see that happening. I had seen it work well on YouTube for someone with coloured hair so maybe that is a prerequisite.

you are on the right track! Hair gloss i'm 90% sure it's washable because it can be used as a weekly treatment. You can mix colors together since you have brown but want some red. You can get it on amazon called dpHUE. Much better for your hair than dying it! ( but i think just a brown gloss would look great on you! )

I am guessing that you just bought this and not anything to mix it with? It’s the pigment and you mix it with developer.

How did it turn out?

I had good experience with Kristin ess gloss BUT only with brunette I haven’t tried with my blonde.

as long as they don't cause hairfall

Also, to add on to not using too much at a time, use a hairdryer on low power to speed the dry time. You'll want to add some teasing in too for texture to get it to hold better.

You need to be careful not to apply too much and to have it at the right distance of 30cm or else it‘ll get really crusty. Brush or wash it out

Guys i figured it out. Properly wash with shampoo, it gets shiny again. Just need a frizz controller to maintain hair like the first photo 😴

lol this might be crazy but i managed to find a picture of the instructions. it looks like yours is in another language? https://imgur.com/a/fKjz5Uj

Shampoo before using a hair mask. Also idk if you already do but if you don’t try towel drying your hair & get rid of the excess water prior to applying the mask if your hair is wet. The mask absorbs better with damp hair and not plopping wet hair

Personally, I always shampoo before using a mask. If you have any oils or other styling product built up on your hair before you use the mask, the mask does not have the capability to penetrate in the same way that it would on clean hair.

If you are not using any sort of leave in conditioners or styling products after wash, I recommend investing in something that will help you cut down on the frizz rather than using a mask. A mask may leave a light film on your hair to help resolve what you are trying to combat, however using something that is meant to rest on your hair for a long period of time will help achieve your desired effect more consistently and help maintain it between washes.

Aren't there instructions on the label?

i’m not sure if clarifying shampoo would work but i’d try that

I don’t know much about haircuts but I have a medium length hair and I follow a simple routine everyday…. Spray some rosemary water, and while it’s damp I just apply a hair moisturiser/ leave in conditioner…. And if it’s any special event and I want my hair to have a hold I’ll just apply some hair mousse as well… and then simply blow dry at lowest heat settings with a diffuser if I want some curls/waves….

Use fino hair mask. Its a lil expensive but so worth it

Long layers and use some curl cream achhe waves aa jae ge

Your hair looks pretty good as it is. I did all the curly wavy routine bs, burnt a lot of money and realised the time, money, energy spent on it is not worth it. I double shampoo, use a nice conditioner and some hair serum now. It is so freeing. Getting shorter layers also helps. Makes it look more voluminous.

Apply it after thoroughly shampooing your scalp. Double shampooing is great! Put the conditioner on your mid length all the way through your ends and leave it on a couple minutes. Make sure that you rinse your hair very well.

Adding in that when you apply the conditioner, make sure to squeeze some of the excess water out of your ends so that the conditioner can sit on it without just dripping off.

it definitely depends on the person for what advice will work best! As someone who gets very greasy hair very quickly, not conditioning my scalp helps my wash last longer and my hair look nicer. But for someone with very dry hair, i can understand the scalp likely needs that extra moisturizer. Good point!

Make sure you use your fingertips to do your scalp and do a back and forth kind of motion. Try not to make claws and just start scrubbing the crap out of your scalp and hair haha.

Agreed with all of the above comment! Just want to add that with straight-ish hair, it helps to kind of finger comb the conditioner through your mids to ends so that it’s actually detangling…. I can’t speak for curly/wavy hair tho.

When I first started dating my cis male partner, he had had long ass hair for over a year probably and I had to get in the shower with him and teach him how to condition and detangle his hair, lol…. He had never had long hair before and so he just never learned a skill that I took for granted because I learned it so young. ALSO—if you have super tangly hair (or even just slightly tangled)—it really helps to brush it before getting in the shower!

apply your shampoo to your scalp, scrub, and rinse it out thoroughly, then apply your conditioner to the ends of your hair up to mid length. don’t condition your scalp. rinse your conditioner out thoroughly. then, wash your neck, shoulders, and back to ensure you dont get body acne from your conditioner.

thats where your natural oils are so you don’t need conditioner. if you do condition there, it will look dirty much faster

Assuming this is a rinse-out conditioner, you have a few options depending on your hair's needs and your scalp situation.

Conditioners work best when used after shampooing the hair. The way they soften the hair is by leaving a coating of conditioning agents on your hair, so you would want to leave those on, don't shampoo it again right afterwards. Definitely rinse it out though, unless it's a leave-on conditioner. The label should make it clear whether it's a leave-on conditioner or a rinse-out conditioner.

Whether you massage it into the scalp or not really depends on what works best for you. Some people have great success with applying it to all of the hair and massaging it into their scalp. With short or medium-length hair this is the easiest way to apply it. With longer hair, some people prefer to only apply conditioner to the midsection and ends, and avoid the roots. You can try experimenting and see which way you prefer.

If your roots tend to get greasy pretty quickly after shampooing, or if your hair is fine and you find that conditioner tends to result in insufficient volume at the roots, then you might prefer avoiding applying conditioner to the roots.
