Does it contain protein? anyone have problems with it making hair brittle? I used a clear John Frieda glaze about 10 years ago, and it made my hair break.Glaze at stylist costs $60, and I loved how sleek and soft it made my hair, as well as the balancing of color - but it didn't last long. I don't mind that it's short-lived, but if I can save money doing it myself I am all for that. I just don't want the same bad experience that I had with the JF before, but maybe the formula is different now. Does it contain protein? anyone have problems with it making hair brittle?

Not sure about the protein but it leaves the natural hair very soft. It may make coloured hair brittle.Just had my hair glazed at AVEDA it was no different from the John Frieda product.Hope this helps.

I have used this glaze for at least 12-18 months,and my hair never turned dry or brittle. It always comes out shiny and soft.I have never used any permanent color on my hair.There is no mention of protein on the bottle.

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

I used MOP Glisten like 10 years ago when it was 15$. I too am perplexed as to why they would discontinue an obviously in demand product. I have a secret you will not believe...it's in every drugstore. Its terribly cheesy but WORKS the same. Got2B's (orange) pomade Defiant or Define&Shine.; They even got hip to the game and are starting to increase their prices. The secret to a good water based pomade, which is what Glisten is, is to tap the side of the jar with your fingertip. If it's waterbased, it will vibrate. It's not a question of price, many expensive pomades have this kind of formulation and some cheap ones do too. Your Welcome. I used MOP Glisten like 10 years ago when it was 15$.

I used 20% of another brand? Because Redken was unavailable everywhere. I would have to check but it was a similar product with no peroxide. Everyone was out of 20% so I had to send far away for it and time was of the essence so I went ahead with the other brand and ordered the 30% of Chromatics just in case it didn

Ann~ Thank you for posting this. I wanted to answer this personally because I can speak from experience. I am a long term user of C E Ferulic from Skinceuticals. It really set the standard for vitamin C serums. While Skinceuticals has a great line, I founded srumtologi to offer products that offered comparable luxury and clinically proven ingredients but without the often shockingly high price tag. Our C serum 22 has 47% more vitamin c and is in a form that does not cause skin irritation. It also has twice as much ferulic acid and is 1/5th the price. I would be honored if you would give our product a try. Vanessa Powers, Co-founder-srumtologi

Hi India:) I'm like you,new to Seche.I got my fastdry topcoat about a month ago&to; be honest,it was quite a transition from my normal GlossyGlam(by @justricarda on IG).But truly not because it gets thick too fast.Now that I'm used to it I'd completely recommend to anybody!The ONE thing u shud be warned about is...Be SURE&let; your coats dry well before u apply because it WILL shrink your polish.I'd heard that but foundout the hard way:p And also,when it says fastdry that's exactly what it means.Overall itsa great formula!Hope all that was helpful!:) *Kelly

Yes it's a clear glaze product. I work outside, and my hair is exposed to the sun and dirt elements. I have found this product to be very help full keeping my hair from being over dried out and damage from the sun. I've been using it for 5 year. Always remember everyone's hair is different what may work well for one person may not work the same for another's. With that in mind, I would still give it a try. I love it! Good luck

It's the new formula because the ingredients list water first and it hadn't been at front and center in the previous formula. I've still been purchasing it, however, because buying it this way is 66% less than local prices and my hair still looks lovely. FYI, Jim Markham, the founder of Pureology has a new entry called ColorProof Evolved Color Care that I've heard is very, very good. When I went to look for it, however, the only place I could find it was in professional salons at a very, very high price. Couldn't find it anywhere. Good luck with whatever you choose!!!

So far, I haven't experienced that, I use about an inch (in width) of hair at a time. I've had it for a few months now and have only used it 2 or 3 times. The only thing that I don't like is that the coating on the plates is starting to chip off. I think it's too soon for anything like this to be happening and I hope this won't lead to too much heat on my hair.

I don't know, but it has Keratin hair fibers that help make your hair look thicker. I have been using this product for several years. My hairdresser introduced me to it. I don't think they would have it in a salon unless it was a safe product. It is definitely less expensive on amazon. My hairdresser sells it for $30.00 for a small can. I would recommend the product if you have fine or thin hair. Just match your haircolor.

It is not comparable to Pureology. Hydrate is minty and SuperRich is spiced like Chai or mulling spices. They make nice products, the man who started the company was the head of development at Pureology. When L'Oreal bought out Pureology the development stopped and he left to start ColorProof. I do like SuperRich but my favorite is the CrazySmooth anti-frizz. The smell is to die for and my hair has never felt better - after just one wash. I am a salon owner and I have at least $500 of products at home just for my own use. I am very happy with ColorProof's products. If you would like a 3 piece sample, let me know.

I have only used the Redken. Sorry I could not be of more help. I think it's false advertisement. They sell you on Redken but send a L'oreal.

The john Frieda I have does not burn my hair. It has 2 heat and 1 cool setting and it works great. If your hair is burning, that means the settings are to high and keep moving the hot air through your hair. Dont let it stay in one place to long and use a cream for hair drying to protect the hair. Good luck

I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not . It is good on my hair but i think in another type of hair such as black african hair it will be bad . if you use it before you already know that it is good on your hair weather it is imitation or not .actually i received 2 bottle the first one was good The second bottle was more liquid it is like chocolate milk may be it is expired or because of shipping anyway i applied the first one on my hair only (sorry for my English) I don't know if it is an imitation or not But it was good ,It change my thick ,curly (Asian) hair to soft and beautiful one . the salon treatments usually designed to be the strongest and they have to work in any condition with any person,i think coppola keratin that i used is not .

I've literally only tried the winter vanilla and I just ordered the Wen Kids Apple since it does not have a lot of the chemicals or gluten. However, I believe if you go on his website he will explain what each one specializes in. I've also read that they are all supposed to extend the life of color in hair, and not strip it.

Hi Jessica. My hair is thin and fine, but damaged from coloring and found the argan oil to be pretty good for it. As with all 'gloss' products, you have to be careful to not use too much of it. I like it because one bottle is good for my face, nails/cuticles and hair - easy packing :-)

M, I love this stuff. It smells great, it does make my hair soft and does last all day. That is if your hair is pretty healthy to start with. I think this product really enhances what you already have with a little kick. Also I deal with static as you and it can be a real pain. I don't use this product each and every single day, plus my static usually hits me in winter when I am running the heat in the house. I do think it would help, but with any product out there I do not believe there is ever a sure thing for any problem one might have with their hair. I'd still personally give it a shot. If you purchase it, let me know how it goes for ya. Take care... Chris M, I love this stuff. It smells great, it does make my hair soft and does last all day.
