New Hair Trend – Glossing at Home
We love seeing a trend come down the pike, especially one that is newish. This one? Hair glossing and the yeahs and nahs seem to be mixed from what I’ve read on other blogs with course hair types seeming to have the best results. However, mine is not course and I had pretty great results overall. So I guess in this case, you should probably try it to see if it will work for you.
Here are three I recommend from L to R:
KEN PAVES Boost Up Color Drops ($39.95/.96oz @ hsn.com) is more of a color boost and this one enhances the sheen and adds gloss. Add a few drops to your conditioner and this one can take a few uses to give you that boost. Choose from 5 different shade enhancers, from Brown to Blonde and Red.
JOHN FRIEDA Clear Shine Luminous Color Glaze ($9.99/6.5oz @ amazon.com) – this one smells just like the one my hairdresser used to use on my hair but this one costs a lot less. Apply to totally dry hair for 20 minutes and rinse.
CLAIROL Nice’n Easy Colorseal Weekly Conditioning Gloss ($4.59/1.96oz @ drugstores nationwide) – weekly treatment for those that color our hair. Use this one in placement of your regular conditioner.

Hi there!
Would you recommend those products for wavy (not tight curls, but still curly/wavy) hair?
I've tried similar glossing products or products that are supposed to add shine to your hair, and I must say that, even though some do add a little bit more shine, all of them deconstruct my waves. It seems that the way they work on my hair is that it straightens them and gives them a sleeker feel.
But, I don't want my waves gone and still want that glossing effect...!!!
Thank you!

I have tried the glaze and the conditioner and must say I love the both. I have even given them as gifts. Share the love I say!

I've tried that color seal and it works great on my hair. I've got the dry, coarse hair you described and I either have to have leave in conditioner or the color seal.
I have a very favorite shampoo and conditioner that is absolutely incredible but it's 85 a bottle... I don't use it anymore!

Those color-boost drops are the best. I color my hair every 6 weeks and have major roots at 4 weeks. I can get by with using these drops and not having to do a root touch-up. Holy grail product! Except I wish it wasn't so pricey.
