Shine serum is a finishing product, applied after everything else, and its only job is how the hair looks at the end.

Reflections is a liquid shine, so it goes on thinner than a cream and spreads further. It coats the hair in a light reflective layer, brings out a glossy finish and smooths frizz and flyaways flat. It stays light enough that it will not drag a style down or leave hair feeling coated, which is where most shine products fall over.

It is also the thing to reach for when a style is technically finished and still looks dull, which happens often enough on hair that has been set or wrapped. A few drops over the surface changes the look without touching the shape.

It works on natural curls, straight blow-dries and protective styles alike. Two or three drops rubbed between the palms is usually plenty, and going heavier is the fastest route to greasy rather than glossy. 4 oz.

Application tips

One or two drops, no more. Rub them between the palms until barely tacky, then skim over the surface of finished hair with flat hands rather than pushing into it.

Works on dry hair as a finisher, or on damp hair before a blow-dry. Ends and mid-lengths take it, the roots do not. If the hair looks oily rather than shiny, you have used twice what you needed.

Results

The shine is the mirror kind rather than the wet kind, and it lands evenly across the whole head. Straight styles look glassy, curls look defined and glossy.

Flyaways lie flat along the length and the surface reads smooth. Nothing weighs the hair down, so a protective style or a fresh press keeps its movement while looking considerably more finished.

Composition

The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
