Hi folks...So, I actually have good hair, no real "problems" per se. It's long and stick straight and medium/light golden blonde, though that's the result of a faded strawberry blonde deposit color. (Normally my hair is medium ash blonde.) My hair is in good to excellent condition, because I generally do nothing to it (no bleach, no blow drying, no teasing.. you get the idea.)What I've always wanted is really SHINY silky hair. I look at pictures of celebrities, and I notice their hair is incredibly shiny without being weighed down or greasy - which is usually the result I get with drugstore bought shine sprays and shine gels. Those products are -okay- but they don't add the real shine I want, but they can easily make my hair look greasy.About a week ago, I had a "clear process" done at a salon, which I thought would give me the shine I wanted, but my hair doesn't look different.What else can I be doing to really increase the shine in my hair?? And what exactly is a clear process, and why didn't it do anything to my hair? (Was it a dumb idea? It cost thirty dollars, so I'm not terribly upset about it.)Pointers? Relatively recent photos are below, but they don't show my hair post-clear process. It wouldn't really show up anyway. :-DandreaRelated Link:some headshots, for no really good reason

Have I got a shine for you!!! ARTec texture spray shine. Here's why: Many shines like Aveda and Alterna's spray shines are oily and cause fine hair to go limp. The ammount of shine they really impart is debatable. I was in JCPenney salon recently, playing with thier ARTec products and was intrigued with ARTec's spray shine wich is more like a light hairspray and not at all oily. The shine it put on my hand simply did not fade. So I bought it and it really does make the hair glisten better than any shine product I have ever tried. By the way, I like picture #5 best. It is the most flattering to your hairline the way it just drapes over the corners a little. Do people tell you that you look a little like Kirsty Alley?
