is that what's missing in my life

[chebaby]

glosser? or polisher?
i've never in my life used these before and didnt think i needed to. lately when i blow dry and flat iron(even when i was rollersetting) my hair would be soft but no shine. so i went back to wet bunning. the third day of that caused me an ear ache because its cold now. so i decided to wake up early this morning and go to the dominican salon i use to frequent. they opened at ten and thats when i arrived(as a walk in) and was out by 11:40. i was the only customer for about 30 minutes(now i know when to go lol). any way when they were done my hair looked just the way it does when i flat ironed it. it was bouncy and FULL of movement and soft(they only blew my roots) but then she added a dime size of proclaim polisher/glosser. and my hair was blinging.
so is polisher my answer?
i thought serums and glossers and the like were bad/clogged the hair?

so i ran to cvs and they didnt have proclaim so i got the clear IC one.

does anyone use polisher on the regular?

im thinking of only using it that first day i flat iron and then all the other days just moisturize and seal.

I just threw away all my glossers because of all the cones.... i use Shea butter for my shine. my hair loves it and its as natural as u can get!

 

[MsBoinglicious]

oil usually gives me bling bling shine. yea shea butter is the truth.

I dont use one because the shine is only temporary for me.

Drinking lots of water and taking flaxseed oil should help you hair have a natural shine.

I've always used the glossers. They work great for me! 'Cones don't seem to bother my hair at all.

Coconut oil or olive oil will do the same thing. I'm sure all those other oils that people talk about will a achieve the same result. I just don't have experience with them.

HTH

I love your hair!!

 

[Mrs.TheBronx]

I love your hair!!

WOW really.. thanks! u are the 1st to say that. well on here anyway.. lol

 

[chebaby]

thanx ladies.
i have all kinds of oils lol. coconut oil works well for shine but its getting cold and if i spend a long time outside i dont want my hair to freeze. i will see how the polishers work compared to oils.

I used to use the Fantasia IC polisher. I liked it on day one. However, I didnt like how it made my hair look or feel days later.

Serums are fine. As long as you clarify monthly, there shouldn't be a problem with buildup. My hair doesn't like oils too much, so I use serums regularly. After I wash (2-3 x's a week), I apply a leave in and top with a serum. Besides giving great shine, they give good slip too

If you wanna use a serum for shine, use it, girl!!!

 

[JessCNU]

I use them...their GGrrrreat!

 

[Mrs.TheBronx]

When I was permed they worked great, but they dont work very well natural. It stays shiny for maybe 10 minutes and its gone.

I only use them when i heat straighten my hair. I alternate between perfect for perms serum (love the smell) and smthg like a lite moisturizer for the week i have my hair straight. When its curly, i only use moisturizer or leave in.
