I didn't take a shine to Kenra Reflect Shine (ouch! bad pun!)

Pros: Doesn't leave hair greasy, sticky, or stiff.
Cons: Doesn't leave hair shiny either.
The Bottom Line: Kenra Reflect Shine might work for those with straight hair, but it did nothing for me.

| tlbwriter's Full Review: Kenra Reflect Shine |
Kenra Reflect Shine is a product I should really, really love – but I don’t.
Reflect Shine is a silicone-based spray meant to add shine to already dried-and-styled hair. If you’re familiar with the role of silicones in hair care products, you know they can do a wonderful job of reducing frizz and adding shine to the hair. So a product that adds shine after you’ve completed your routine should be a great little pick-me-up for dry, dull hair. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t do it for me.
Reflect Shine is very watery, and is dispensed from the spray bottle in a fine mist, which should make it easy to get even coverage. It has a very slight odor which I did not find offensive. On my hair, it feels slightly slippery or greasy while wet, and dries without feeling sticky or gummy. It is not a hairspray and provides absolutely no stiffness or hold.
Unfortunately, I found Reflect Shine added no shine at all to my hair, nor did it do anything to combat frizz. This might be because my hair is curly; perhaps on straight hair the shine would be more evident. It might also be because I used it over another silicone-based product (Straightening Serum, which I love, and have also reviewed, pardon the hint!) and I simply maxed out on my silicone potential.
If you’re looking for more shine, I suggest trying a silicone product meant to be used on wet hair (such as the Straightening Serum). For shine and frizz control after your hair has dried, try one of my favorite hair care products of all time – Tigi’s Bed Head Shine Junkie.
