My hair is pretty shiny, so I’m not sure I was the best person to review this item, but I wanted to see anyway. Plus, I had an hour to kill at the store while my oil was getting changed and I had to buy something.
Paul Mitchell also makes a shine booster that can be used once a week in the shower. I was more tempted by 10 minutes once every six weeks, as is the case of Herbal Essences All That Shine Clear Shine Booster.
Easy to use
This was just like dying your hair at home. You take some stuff, put it in another bottle, shake it up and put it on your damp hair. Wait. It burns a little. Rinse it off.
To tell you the truth, I found it weird that this was like dying my hair. I always imagined deep conditioning/shine stuff to be more like leaving conditioner on for a really long time.
I have pretty short hair, so I only used about half the bottle (the stuff was colored, oddly).
So before my hair looked like this (forgive my goofy look and the slight fuzziness)
And after ( I also styled it like I usually do) my hair looked like this:
Big difference? I don’t really see it. The Boy said that my hair was marginally shinier, but it really just cast a uniform glow to my hair. Not that my hair wasn’t uniformly shiny all over before, but it had some damaged patches, etc.
Let’s look up close.
I don’t know. It looks….about the same to me. Perhaps this is because my hair is already pretty healthy and shiny to begin with.
Overall
Was it worth the $8? Maybe. My hair does has a more even tone to it now than it did before. We’ll see how long it lasts.
I would probably say that this product is more worth it to someone with extremely damaged, dull hair. I think the difference might be pretty noticeable then.
