Can you safely do a clear gloss on relax'd hair?

[BeautifulFlower]

I am terrified of synthetic dyes. The last indigo treatment I did has my hair so black its beautiful. Its only shiny when I straighten and use my glossing products. I'd like something that will last a bit longer. Can I do a clear gloss on my indigo, relax'd hair?

i would do a patch test first! and see how your hair reacts to it.

If you mean clear rinses...Yes you can

Glazes are pretty safe, I used to use them all the time. I also used it over henna and indigo and I'm relaxed.

yes i have. i didn't have any breakage or damage. the rinse was more gentle to my hair than henna/indigo. i can pm you a picture of my hair if you need proof.

I'd like that. Can you tell me which one you use?

Glosses are chemical free (meaning: no ammonia or peroxide). All they do is coat the hair shaft and help seal the cuticle. So yes, they are very safe. When I was relaxed, rinses were alot gentler on my hair than henna and indigo.

Thank you ladies. I am going to try a gloss. Now to see which one to get.....??!?!?

 

[ellebelle88]

Can someone recommend some clear glosses? This sounds great and I really want to try it!

 

[Jewell]

Yes. I've done one before using Clairol's Jazzing in Clear, but I was disappointed 'cause it didn't look like I put anything in my hair! That was several years ago. I am thinking of trying one by Sebastians or just using a cellophane treatment instead of a clear rinse. I had a cellophane trx done at a salon, and it was bananas! My hair has never had that much shine and swing!

Better a patch test than a setback on all that pretty hair...

I use one by John Frieda and I buy at any drugstore -CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, Walgreens. They sell at target also.

Clear Rinses are harmless, it coats your hair to smooth your cuticle which gives you the shine. I love them.

 

[LaidBak]

I use John Frieda on the regular. Never had an issue; it actually improves my hair's condition.

I know this is an old thread but to those still using clear rinses...

Would clear rinses not be advisable for low porosity hair since the cuticles are pretty much closed tightly already?
