Sebastian Colourshine in Coffee Bean Brown anybody have any ideas what this will look like??? I might get it I want my hair to remain as close to my natural color as possible!
 
I have off black hair and it made my hair slightly darker and very shiny. I tried it because I ddin't want something too extreme and the overall results were pretty good.

Can you get this at the same time as a relaxer service?

Yes you can get colourshines directly after a relaxer.
 
Coffee Bean & Neutral Brown will make your hair very dark, almost black.
When I want my hair black this is what I use I'm between a 2 and a 4 naturally depending on the time of year.
ETA: Why don't you try the clear or go with one of the yellow base shades like honeywheat. They won't darken your hair and will add a few highlights. Obviously the red based will add some deep red undertones.

Sweetpea, according to the website, Coffee Bean Brown is really dark. "If you love the colour of chocolate, you'll love Coffee Bean. It's a rich warm brown for all shades of brown hair." They also have Brilliant Brown which is "perfect over medium to dark brunettes. It warms colour without strong red, gold or violet tones." I don't know what type of brown you are going for? Have you used this rinse before?

Has anyone used Ginger or any of the lighter series? I went to the website for a description because I have dark brown hair with dark gold/light brown highlights on the end. I will eventually get highlights again, but I need something with color when I get my relaxer this weekend to even out my hair. I don't want to hijack SPDST's thread, but would also like some Colorshine suggestions. Any suggestions?

Gold Series
Ginger- A stunning gold with just enough red to add warmth to medium brown to black hair. Also perfect for a warm, gold-red on medium red hair.
Golden Walnut- A stunning light to medium saturated brown with gold-copper tones adds warmth and depth to dark blondes or adds golden tones to light ash-brown hair. Golden Walnut also deepens light to medium redheads."

Brown Series
Liquid Amber-A perfectly blended auburn shade with golden-brown and red-gold undertones, best for use on white, brown, or light to medium redheads.
Mahogany on medium to dark brown hair produces a fabulous chestnut shade. On redheads it deepens and balances their red.

Red Series
Cinnamon-A medium, red-orange, red-gold tone that produces a beautiful burnt sienna colour on light to medium brown hair.
Black Cherry-A red with just enough violet for coolness. Perfect for medium to dark brown hair that wants red, but not orange.

YOu wouldn't be hijacking they can help us both! I want brilliant brown might work! No I haven't used it b4 but everyone keeps saying they get so much shine! My hair gets really dull so I was thinking this may work!!!!!!
 
SweetP are you looking just to enhance your natural brown color and want shinny hair?

I like my natural brown so I will be doing the clear colourshines in the future when I get my next relaxer (phyto).

If you try the Brilliant Brown please post pics...thanks.
 
Yeah I want to enhance my natural color, but I had color on my ends that will show up if I don't keep a rinse on it!!!!! I will post pics if I find out where to buy it!!!!!
 
Ladies please remember Sebastian cellophanes only give a hint of color. If you want dramatic color change from a cellophane you aren't going to get it. You will ge the most noticeable color change from the reds. Any objections to trying the colourshines in "clear" the first go around?

I don't want dramatic color change but I don't want to see my red color from my previous hair color! I have had a rinse that has covered it up but no shine was added!!!!!

I understand now. OK unless you want to go darker than your #4, coloushines won't do that. You could use your regular rinse and then put a clear colourshines on top. I've done that with good results and it extended my color a little. HTH
 
I want the same color as my #4 but my ends tend to get lighter b/c of the color. No lighter no darker! But with shine shine shine shine shine shine!
 
I'm either doing the Ginger or the Liquid Amber. I don't want anything dramatic. I just want to even out the color difference between the highlighted ends and the new growth. I actually am going for the the sort of length and color of Sweetpea's hair in her avatar. Looking good, girl! I want my hair to be wavin' and behavin' and looking like glass for the graduations I am going to attend. How long should I wait between this and the highlights? I usually wait at least 2 weeks after a touch-up for my color.

If you buy it at a bss ask them if they have the Colourshines book with the swatches in it. At least you get an idea of what the color will look like.
 
Any alternatives to achieving the same amount of shine as with the colourshines? Other rinses? Products?

Check my september album SweetPea, that's the color that I have in the early pic. Like Sept 5 or soemthing. It really looks black though.
 
If u want to see what Cinnamon looks like, go to JenniferMD's album. She has pics. I just put Cinnamon in my hair, after I saw her album. I love the color. My hair is dark brown, and you can barely see the color if i'm in my house, you can only see the shine. But when i'm outside, it's like a dark brown with a deep reddish tint. Hard to explain...anways, I know i look good. :grin: I will have my dear ol fiance take pics tonight, i hope that he has software so that I can finally upload pics.

SweetPea, u look good in your Avatar pic. That color really looks GREAT on you.
