I have a bob, and it looked so beautiful after I left the hairdressers, but since then it's just looked a bit shit. I was wondering what products people use to give their hair a shine, or products to use on bobs generally that will make me look less fug and fogey and boring? I'm in the UK but we still have tigi blah blah blah. merci.

lee stafford has this stuff, which is in a spray can, which makes your hair shine really great! it doesnt do anything else, like hairspray would do, it just makes it shine lovely all day, I swear by it

hair mask by lush

its VERY good

I used to use charles worthington shine serum. That makes it really glossy especially if you use straighteners aswell.

i read that catherine zeta jones rinses her hair with beer to make it shiney.

I use a product called smoothing lusterizer when I get out of the shower, then I finish off with a shining pomade. Also, a good blow dry will make your hair look shiney. I assume it's just because it's smoother. Also, make sure you switch up and use a different shampoo once every week or two to stop buildup.

i hate when people waste beer

Here's my secret... A good mask and rinse it with water/vinaiger. It works!

tigi bedhead shine junkie...i think its called something like that anyway. thats fab stuff.
lush's the strokes deep treatment once a week
lush's re-tread conditioner
rinse your hair out with really cold water at the end of your shower

Ah, I'd never thought of this. I don't pay that much attention to the shampoo I use, I just use whatever's in the bathroom. I didn't think that the shampoo made that much difference...? I'd always been under the impression that a good quality conditioner was the most important thing.

Miss Scarlet, I was tempted by the Lush hair masks when I was in there last, but I've bought so many things like that before and they haven't had much effect. I might have a go with it now...at least you know with Lush that even if it doesn't work your hair will smell amazing.

I have long hair and use Trevor Sorbie shine serum - it comes in a teeny bottle but you don't need to use handfuls each time, so it lasts longer than you'd think. You can get all that range from Boots.

Conditioner/treatments are way more important. I just buy whatever is on sale when it comes to shampoo. Usually I use pantene and then I leave the sale stuff in my pool bag, so when I shower after I swim I use something different. It's not at all about quality - you just have to alternate because the same shampoo will cause residue/buildup after a while.

I absolutely LOVE that!

Wella has some good serum too.

System Biolage shine mist. It's a light mist so you don't have to fully coat your hair with silicone, and it smells lovely.

I read somewhere that conditioning your hair with mayonnaise once in a while makes it more shiny. Bet it stinks though.

Yeah? Well, I bet dipping your head in a vat of Crisco would really enhance shine as well, but I wouldn't try either.

I read that rinsing your hair out with black tea (err that you've allowed to go cold!) gives your hair a great shine. Been meaning to try it for years, never remember

And Superdrug do these 99p sachets. The hot oil treatment is reaaaaalllly good - really calms yer hair down

And Lush's Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo. Like someone said about Zeta-Jones, it contains beer.

Ok, thank you Captain Obvious.

Uh-oh, not Pantene. I've heard bad things about that stuff - something like it coats your hair in plastic/silicone to make it shiny? I don't know if that's exactly right. But when you stop using it, supposedly your hair will look rubbish, so you think only Pantene's any good. I don't use it because I'm scared off it by all these stories!

cold rinse and dont blow dry...

DON'T DO IT!
i admit, i tried it when i was 14.
big bad mistake, my hair was greasy for a good week.
i washed it every damn day and i still couldn't get all the grime out.
