On Deck: Redken Shine Flash 02

By Katrice

I received a 4 oz. Redken Shine Flash 02 Glistening Mist in an event gift bag last fall and have used it a couple times without noticing any particular benefit to my hair. I didn't think much about it because I was using it at times when I had little expectation. But, yesterday morning, my hair needed a extra boost to make it through one more day before being washed. First off, I read the the product details and instructions — something I always tell others to do and hadn't done myself.

Details: Illuminate hair in a flash. Fine-mist aerosol spray adds a lightweight, high-gloss finish without stickiness. 

Directions: Lightly mist on dry hair. 

Here's what I did:

Since I was planning to wash my hair last night, I wanted to just moisturize and kind of shape my chunky 'fro for work. So, I went through my hair quickly with my hands loosening it back up from being packed down under my sleep cap. Then, I took the Shine Flash and pulled pieces of hair up the way that I would like them to be lifted and shaped, and lightly sprayed each section. {See below}

After spraying it in about five sections, I continued to lift it and kind of shape without disturbing small pieces. 

In the end, I didn't notice any shine, but my hair was a looser chunky afro than I usually achieve {without a lot of manipulation} and maintained with no shrinkage throughout the day. It's a perfect refreshing elixir. Love.
