The Cellophane and Clear Rinse Thread
- Thread starter Lady Esquire
- Start date
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.
I always seem to forget to put the gloves back on when it's time to rinse it out. Makes my fingernails look sick
BTW, I know it's not your beloved rojisimo, but your hair still looks good to me!

That's the same questions that I had. I think I read a while back that you shouldn't henna and do the rinse though.
I really want to try this but want to use henna as well
Can anyone reccommend a product that will make your hair stronger and appear thicker (similar to henna), that can be used with this?

IDK, I've only used henna for conditioning purposes. It's mixed like crazy, like 50 mg in 32 oz of cheapie conditioner infused w/amla, shikakai, EVOO, honey and EVCO. I mix it and use immediately so there's no color release for about an hour w/o heat, rinse then f/u w/moisturizing poo and dc. You definitely get stronger, thicker hair. I will say. I only started doing this not too long ago and haven't done a rinse since May because I'm CWing so often so I'm not sure how it'll react w/a rinse. Lemme see what I can find, if anything.

Since rinses are usually ammonia-free, I don't see why there'd be a problem...reading this leads me to believe that henna over the rinse is what people tend to question, not rinse over henna. Definitely research!

Wut up doe, girly? Don't beat yourself up too much, I'm easily amused as wellI 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
Girl, I do need to run out and get some gloves, 'cause my finger nails are still stained from the JF brunette that I used weeks ago. So yeah, I'm not tryna stain my new cutie pie "urnge".

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!!!
I'm gonna post when I try it.
I agree with Eisani, your color looks pretty, ma.
And thanks for the congrats.

Same here. Once I had to take the day off the next day because my hands were a lovely shade of blue when I used Jazzins Midnight Blue.
I went to the BSS and got "Color Off" and had to let my hands SOAK! Now I always keep that stuff on standby although staining from Colorshowers is hardly as bad as Jazzin!Thanks Girl!

Thanks vkb! have you tried to lighten you hair first (I use Dark and Lovely honey blonde real quick) and then use a color rinse? That is the only way I get the red to show and I only do the top of my head.
I never tried the Elasta rinses...

Okay ladies I feel like this is a support group- just thought I'd let you know I am in. I ordered colorshowers in Negro on Mon and dagnabbit it's here today. I'm going to finish reading all the threads and will be back with ????- hopefull not too many.
I was not prepared that Color Showers would smell so good. It smells exactly like Silicon Mix

I did the black color showers yesterday, and I am in love!!!! Thanks for starting this thread LE. I was amazed at how much thicker my hair felt when I was done! My hair felt a little hard after the treatment, but this went a way with just a quick in shower condition w/ AO Honeysuckle Rose. My hair is 4a/b coarse with no natural shine, and my hair was literally blinging yesterday. I still can't believe these results. I am sold!
Do you all think, it would be okay to add a dollop of the negro color showers+a dollop of silicon mix (kinda like a henna gloss) and process for 30 minutes under the dryer- in 3 weeks? I am a frequent cowasher, so I am not expecting this to last 6-8 weeks.

I'm using Frederic Fekkai Clear Rinse. I love it. Sometimes I mix it into my deep conditioners. But, I prefer to use it on its own. My hair looks beautiful after. I want one for darker hair so I can keep my hair color in the summer. Any suggestions besides the dominican one? Any one ever use the John Frieda?

Very pretty! But, your hair has a slightly reddish tint. Is that because of your own hair color or what?
disregard that last question.

I just received a $5 off coupon from roundbrushhair and decided to order 3 color showers cellophanes. I got the bright red (rojisimo), burgundy and grape. I'm gonna get a retouch at the end of this month and i planned to use the bright red. IMO, the black color showers is phenominial! The first one i tried was dark brown, it was ok but the color wasn't very pronounced.

I was bored a few fridays ago and my color was fading. So I got to mixing.
The color came out like this. I used Colorshower Marron (reddish brown)
The result -
I was happy because it was back to my colors combo color. I cowash at least 3xs a week so I am defiently going to do this more often. Y'all are the TRUTH with adding color to conditioners!!!!!!
