Halo High Gloss Rinse Review
Well, this is actually kind of a funny situation, but I had received a full size tube of Halo high gloss rinse from someone I work with over a year ago since her husband worked for a beauty supply chain and she would get some free samples periodically. I took it home, used it the wrong way, and I think I may have even given it a so-so or negative hair care product review on this blog at that time. Well, I used it again, this time as a free small sample that my mom gave me, along with their replenishing shampoo and conditioner, and I loved it.
The high gloss rinse is exactly that - a rinse. You should use it after you’ve shampooed and conditioned your hair, and it’s supposed to help keep that just colored glossy look in your hair in between colorings as well as for at least a week or two after you use it. Problem is, the first time I used it, I only used it as a rinse, and did not heat my hair when I used it like I did this last time, which I think was key in getting it to work as it should.
This time what I did was shampoo and condition my hair as usual, then I added around a quarter sized dollop of the Halo high gloss rinse to my hair and worked it through really well. I then stopped the shower, got out and blew a hot hair dryer on my head for about two minutes. I didn’t wrap my hair in a towel or anything, just applied the heat directly.
I then got back in and started the shower back up (admitted a pain, but it was worth it for the results), and rinsed out the high gloss rinse. When I blew my hair dry my hair was super bouncy and had a really nice lustre to it. As a matter of fact, my friend commented on my hair after I used it. It had a nice sheen to it, not at all like it would if I’d just used my normal routine, so I definitely think this stuff works as it says when you apply heat.
And get this, I threw away the first bottle thinking it didn’t work. Imagine what an idiot I felt like when I just reordered another bottle, when I could have saved myself some money! Oh well, it’s always worth it when you find a good hair care product, even if it is in such a roundabout way, and this is a lesson to always use as directed for best results.
