The Cellophane and Clear Rinse Thread

[JLove74]

love this JLove! JLove are you natural or relaxed?


ETA: JLove did you use the chestnut to espresso or the amber to maple?

Thanks, Hon. I'm natural. I used Chestnut to Espresso.

I just bought the John Frieda glazes, I got the clear and the brown.

I used the Brunette JF Color Glaze last week and I was amazed by the results. It definitely gave me the smoothest airdry ever and it seemed to thicken my hair and give it nice volume, body and shine plus subtle warm color. All from the 1st treatment. I was surprised at just how easy this product was to use and it wasn't the least bit messy. I did use gloves to apply it so it wouldn't stain my hands. Also this wasn't the least bit drying on my hair as other color products have been. Very impressed. I stocked up during the CVS BOGO sale. I can't wait to try the Clear one next as a pre-poo.

I have been airdrying too and with the least amount of problems I have ever experienced. The second time I used the clear mixed with the brunette, I did not use gloves and it stained my right hand. So I know to always use gloves. Walgreens had a sale a few weeks back and I bought 2 for about $15...not bad. I have used it as a prepoo with condish...and the hair loves it.

question from someone who has never used rinse/glaze/anything non-damaging: does this not wash it out/ruin the effects? how does this method work, do you mix and leave on, then rinse out with conditioner or actually DC after you do this? i need to know more, my DC day is fast approaching!

It's amazing for airdring. I couldn't believe it, normally I have to apply Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil Treatment (castor oil based grease ) to add shine and smoothness after airdrying. I was able to skip using it! I'm going to try mixing the Clear with conditioner tomorrow in a pre-poo. JF Color Glaze has been at 1st sight for me.

I am experimenting too because rinses are new to me too. But this is what I did.

• I mixed the Brunette with the Clear - along with some Silicon Mix condish,
• applied on dry hair for about 20-30 mins,
• rinsed,
• shampoo'd,
• did a quick condish treatment with Fantasia One Minute Reconstructor while I showered,
• rinsed,
• then styled as usual.

checked out jennifermd's fotki and she updated with some beautiful pics of her colorshowers in red. now i am so friggin tempted.

 

[BklynHeart]

I tried it with the dark brown Colourshowers Cellophane. My hair came out shiny, but that stuff rinsed out FAST!! It doesn't even look like I put a color in my hair. My stylist recommended that I put the color on first, then the conditioner.

This is how I do mine and it lasts a good while.

 

[myronnie]

The trick to the john freida rinses is not mixing them but repetitive use if you really want some color..it's been two years and i still have a coppery color on my hair like i'm color treated. that's because the rinse deposits nonharmful iron oxides onto the hair and repetitive use builds up these oxides. so anybody really wanting to have permanent hair can get it but u hafta use it for like a month 2 times a week. and i did conditioner first but left it on under a shower cap for like 3 minutes.

Ok, good to know!

 

[LovelyLionessa]

I'm very impressed with the JF Brunette Color Glaze. After only 3 uses my few strands of grey have been blended away.

 

[Cleve_gryl]

So...when you say rinse first then apply con...does that mean poo the hair, apply rinse, then apply a dc after rinsing out the color? Or are you layering con on top of the rinse?

I always clarify, apply rinse, rinse out then DC. This still doesn't keep the color in my hair longer than 5 washes.

 

[Dee-Licious]

it's ok to mix them, but you are not supposed to do a conditioner before you put on a rinse b/c it kinda blocks it

I always clarify, apply rinse rinse,then DC. This still doesn't keep the color in my hair longer than 5 washes.

I chelate, apply color and sit under dryer for 45 min-1 hr, rinse, use a moisturizing shampoo to get rid of stains on my scalp and around the edges, then DC. As a general rule, rinses tend to lose their vibrancy faster if you're not processing w/heat-I don't know if that's what going on w/you or not. It could just be that generally speaking, rinses tend to last 5-6 washes. I really don't know why my hair holds on to color so tough, but I usually see my roots growing out before the color fade is very noticeable (except on the collar of my shirts ), that's even w/cowashing almost daily. Another thing I noticed is the temperature of your water makes a difference. If you use anything in the red family, your water s/b on the cooler side. The color molecules are larger and easier to slide off the hair in water that's too warm so as a general rule, I always wash in tepid water. Cold rinses help lay the cuticle down and hold on to more color too.

 

[lilsparkle825]

ok, i did this - i mixed the JF brunette and clear with kenra mc and DC'd with heat, then airdried in twists and woke up to the shiniest twistout i've ever had. the second time i used it i just used clear in the shower after cowashing but i think the shine i have today is a byproduct of the sabino mb more than the color glaze. i will use it again like i did the first time when i dc at the end of this coming week.

 

[neenee280]

I just started using those drops this week. It's definitely will become a staple of mine. Another good scalp treatment is the cinnamon and rosemary oil...wow, it feels so good.

Yeah I use my cinnamon mixture nightly. I mix it with cinn, rosemary, garlic oil and moska or bear oil. My hair loves it!!!

john frieda clear glaze on cell at krogers for $7.99

 

[GeorginaSparks]

Hi ladies. I used my clear glaze today. Left on 30 minutes before washing. Did my normal routine and i was too lazy/busy to apply my leave in. A few hours later, my hair was so soft! I didnt use ANY products and i was debating whether to moisturize because i didnt want to weigh it down. I air dried, took hair out of ponytail and it fell/swooped like whooosssh!!

I had moisturize with seyani hair butter just to be safe. I think i will start doing this from now on!! Sorry castor oil, i will not be using you anymore except if i really have to!

 

[Healthb4Length]

I did this tonight, I mixed the JF clear glaze with shescentit's fortifying mask for 1 hour. I didn't notice a change when my hair was wet but after I rollerset and dried my hair was so shiny! Like WOW!!!! I love it! Is it ok to do this once a week? How soon after getting hilights can I start doing these treatments?

 

[MrsHouston]

I've used colorshowers also, but I decided to try another (cheapie) brand for summer since I co-wash more. I tried Adore (Cinnamon $4.00) last week mixed with my conditioner...it was ok~, but I want to try it straight this week. Can I in fact use it weekly??? I only see faint highlights in my hair. I want to do it this Wednesday, so let me know guys...TIA

Wow neenee that sounds like a great recipe...never heard of moska oil.

I bought some garlic oil for anticipated shedding (stopping bc's to get preggo soon). Mine is supposed to be drunk, but I will add it to my scalp massage oil.

Do it Mrs H! I got my SO using it and he says it is closing his "sunroof" My NG is crazy. I think it is the best "growth" aide and will stick with it because it is natural.

I am going to be doing a color combo/relaxer on Thurs...pics to come!

 

[Keshieshimmer]

OK, Here is a pic of my rinse concoctioin. I used John Freida Glaze in Brunette & Clear with some OCT, left it on for 3 hours, rinsed and styled as usual:

End results:

Lovely, though it looks more black than a brunette, or is that the camera?

 

[Lady Esquire]

JLove, Eisani, Neenee, and all of my other rinsers....what up?!!!!!

Ok, so why am I excited that my Adore Copper Red came in the mail today? I swear, its the simple things that make my corny *** giddy.

What should I expect? I fell in love with John Frieda....so what's up with the Adore?

Any concoctions? How often do some of you ladies use Adore?

I will update you ladies with results.

Wut up doe, girly? Don't beat yourself up too much, I'm easily amused as well I think it makes life easier. Anyhoo, I've applied Adore on my sis and one of my friends hair (some kind of purple, can't remember the name) and they both like it. It doesn't seem drying and the color builds over time w/more use. I've gotten into the habit of mixing my colors w/a clear rinse. Maybe it's just in my head, but it seems to make the color more vibrant. I know w/red copper colors, you can always add a brown to tone it down, or a brighter red to brighten it. Oh yea, you do have gloves this time right? lachen:You don't wanna touch that beautiful baby w/"urnge" fingers. I just wanna take him home

Hey LadyE!

I havent used Adore in years. I think I was looking for a replacement for my Rejuvatone BlueBlack and tried that and my color faded FAST. But again, years ago. Try it because I wanna see. Copper Red sounds HOT!!!!!

Congrats on your new heartbreaker!!! Too cute!!!

My BFF was teasing me about my "urnge" hands when I was buying all that colorshowers in NY. OH WELL because I know it only lasts a day or 2.
