Hey ladies! 
I said that after I purchased and used the Sebastians Colourshines Rinse in Clear that I would write up a review about it for those of you interested in experimenting with a clear rinse. Anyway, I bought the rinse from bargainside, which was the best deal that I could find. They had very speedy service also. I applied the rinse last Tuesday after shampooing my hair, following the instructions on the bottle closely. I had two complaints with the instructions. One, they said to apply the rinse when the hair was 75% dry. I thought that was a silly way to put it, and just kinda improvised on what I thought was 75% dry. Second, I did not feel that they were explicit enough on how much product should be use. So again I improvised, making sure that all of my hair was coated with the product and that I combed it through as best as possible. Hopefully, that was the right thing to do. The product was a light yellow (not quite clear) and had a scent but not a strong, chemically scent. Then I covered my hair with a plastic cap and sat under the dryer on HIGH heat for 20 minutes. I let my hair cool for about 10 minutes (the instructions said 5, but oh, well) and then shampooed again and deep conditioned with Humectress, KerapHix and EVOO. Rinsed that, and then styled my hair.
I didn't really notice any added shine, but my hair was VERY soft and smooth. It was easy to detangle and style and overall felt really nice. I put it up in a bun as usual and moisturized over the next several days. At this point, I didn't really notice much of a difference in my hair but was figuring I'd wait until I got it straightened on Friday to really make a conclusion on the product. So on Friday, I got my hair washed again and then styled. I had good, smooth results and lots of shine...however, I'm not sure if I would attribute it to the rinse. Several people have told me that my hair looks lighter and some have asked if I colored it. Again, I don't attribute it to the rinse...but I will say that maybe the rinse seemed to enhance my natural hair color, making the color more vibrant...which was the thing I probably liked best about the product. All in all I'd say that it's a good product, but I think that the shine I do have could have easily been achieved using my coconut oil and Clairol Vitapointe. The smoothness was also a plus, and I am interested to see if my hair will still feel as smooth the next time I wash my hair. So, I will def. use the rinse again, but I'm not sure that I would purchase another bottle in the future. Thanks again to those who participated in the poll on clear rinses. Pictures of my results can be found in my fotki album in the 3rd folder.
