The Cure to Dull, Lifeless Hair?

Clairol's new 'Shine Happy'

Clairol
It's usually a few weeks after we get our hair colored that we notice our hair is looking drab & dull. We've tried hot oil treatments & conditioners galore, which work OK but not as well as Clairol's new 'Natural Instincts Shine Happy.' This new hair treatment provides up to 4 weeks of shine.

So what is it?

Ths new hair treatment provides up to 4 weeks of shine & silkiness, which seemed like a crazy overpromise until we tried it. I'm not finished with the 4 weeks yet, but 2 weeks into it & I'm quite pleased with the results. My hair is silky, shiny & the highlights I got a mere 6 weeks ago have not been affected (Clairol suggests you wait 3-4 weeks after you have your hair colored to try this product).

How does it work?

You just apply it like shampoo, let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse & apply the conditioner that comes with the package. Clairol suggests you use the Once a Week Color Treat Conditioning Treatment to maintain glossiness.

I have a lot of hair, yet it's thin, so I was worried the shine would result in a flatness I sometimes get with gloss sprays. Didn't happen.
