Fall Product Review: Bumble and Bumble Shine Spray

What They Say: "(Formally Gloss) Inspired during photo shoots where it's essential to make hair shine without leaving it greasy and unworkable in the process, we challenged ourselves during the creation of Bb.Shine to make the ultimate lightweight, shine-enhancer for both on set and off."

Jen's Experience: I'm a bit of a shine junkie. I often judge hair products by how shiny they make my hair, and I'm a big fan of using products like Frederic Fekkai Technician Glaze to add a little shine at the end of my hair routine. Although this comes in an aerosol spray rather than a serum, it works pretty much the same way: it adds a layer of shine to your 'do.

Much like my other shine products, you've really got to watch how much you apply. A little bit and you've got shiny hair, any more and you need to get back in the shower. One thing that's different about this product is that, perhaps since it's an aerosol, perhaps it's just the formula, but it smells horrible and it's pretty suffocating. It smells like you're spraying spray paint in your hair. Go outside to use this one.

The main thing that really sets this product apart is that it really does create amazing shine, almost like your hair has been clear-coated. With my fine hair, the shine may be too much, making it appear a little greasy. However, I've never noticed it weighing down my style at all.

For those of you with thicker hair who are looking for incredible shine, this is an excellent choice, probably the best on the market. But if you've got thin or fine hair, you might want to try this product for yourself before you spend a lot of money on it.

Retail Price: $38.95 (Go to Bumbleandbumble.com for locations)

Fall Product Review: Bumble and Bumble Shine Spray:

I have very thick, coarse hair and I adore shine as well. You can can buy Pink Oil, which is a product formulated for African American Hair at Walgreen's or Sally Beauty Supply for like, $4.99. It works great, it smells good, and, since you use so little (it also comes in Aerosol form) it lasts forever. You do have to use a very light hand to avoid looking like you've not washed your hair in several weeks, but I think that is true with many, if not all, shine products. Another good and inexpensive products is Citre Shine spray glosser, which runs about $7.99.

I know that you all review primarily high end products here, but I thought I would mention it, since I would guess there are quite a few readers like me who are on a tight beauty budget.
