Alterna 3 minute shine boost is a light weight, shine enhancing treatment. This product has no Sulfates, Parabens, Synthetic dyes, GMO,Triclosan, and Phthalates, like most of Alterna hair care products. For 5.1oz, this product retails for roughly $26. It claims to recharge hair color and give hair brilliant shine. (similar to salon glaze treatments)
The directions states to use on wet hair. I actually used it two ways and compared the difference between results. Most hair treatments are used on damp hair, after shampooing.
The first attempt, after shampooing, I squeezed out the extra water from my hair and put the product on my roots to the tips as directed. I then start to rub the solution in my hair and clipped my hair up. I realized that as soon as I rubbed it in, the product melts right in my hair. It isn't like thick masques where you could see exactly where you applied the product. The consistency after I rubbed it in was almost like a light milky texture. I waited 3 minutes and rinsed it out. It has a really light and clean smell. Sometimes using too much on the roots will make the hair feel a little heavy. At the end, I feel like my hair felt a little drier than normal. Since the product isn't so thick, I felt like I had to use a lot more product for my long hair.
Second Attempt:
On dry hair, I mixed my regular hair mask with the shine boost and rubbed it in my hair. This time, I only applied the product from my ears and down. I waited 30 minutes and rinsed my hair. After shampooing, I made my hair feel very soft and shiny. If you try out a product once and didn't like it, try to find another way to apply it.
If you have fine hair, and not too dry..I think this product would suit your hair better.
