I got this stuff after i had recieved a cellophane treatment in the salon. i loved how shiny my hair was when i ledt the salon, but it only lasted a couple of weeks and cost me $50 (before tip)! so i decided to look for an alternative and found Clairol Jazzing in clear. you wash your hair, put this stuff in for as long as you want, with heat or without, and then rinse! it works wonders! it makes my hair really shiny and manageable and for $5 you can't go wrong! i get it at Sally's beauty supply in "clear" but it comes in colors too for those who want to brighten up their color...buy it!
