Reviews for Shine On

Softens and adds volume 5

Finally, a product that gets rid of the frizzies, leaves my baby fine hair soft AND full of volume! I apply the John Masters gel after the Shine On, blow dry and I’m done.

Just okay 3

This product is okay. Does leave my fine hair feeling soft, but it just looks like clear gel glue and doesn’t have much of a scent. I prefer Yarok shine serum which has a more pleasant scent of chamomile & rosemary.

Nice, but doesn't go far 3

I agree with another reviewer who wrote that she used up her jar of Shine On quickly . It does work well, especially with one of the JM conditioners, leaving my hair shiny and soft. But I have thick curly, long hair and I used up my jar very quickly. The product doesn’t have much slip and needs an extra ingredient(s) to make it go farther. It didn’t work for me on dry hair and is also quite expensive.

Such soft hair!! 4

Love this all natural product! It works great and leaves my hair SO soft! I’m not sure if i haven’t put in enough but i don’t find it to make my hair extremely shiny more just SUPER soft. The only reason i don’t love this product yet is because with it making my hair SUPER soft, my hair is naturally curly so it tends to make it frizz out a bit after a few hours of straightening my hair. Other than that this is an amazing product. I also use john masters shampoo and conditioner which are sooo amazing!

Average 3

I found myself unsure how to apply this product. It is gel-like and didn’t add as much shine as I thought it would. I would definitely go with a serum instead.

Not for me 2

I used this product on my thick and curly hair to do twists. It always left my hair looking very shiny and healthy. The only problem is such a small amount for a high price. I have to use a lot to do my hair so after about 3 uses it was finished. If you only intend to use a small amount it’s great, but for a thick full head of hair it’s not worth the price.

Love this product 5

I love this product. I don’t use conditioner so my hair can get a little frizzy. I put this on while my hair is wet and it greatly reduces friz for me and increases shine. I have lots of thin hair with a bit of a wave.

Not my favorite 4

This is the only John Masters product to disappoint me so far. The jelly like consistency left my hair a little too slick although it was very shiny. I tried it as a leave in treatment and also as a hair mask but neither method worked well for me.

Awesome. 5

Pretty awesome stuff. I have thick, dry hair, but it can easily look greasy and gross from product. This is great on wet or dry hair, helps protect when heat-styling, and can give good definition. Sometimes I use it on wet hair and then braid and sleep on it overnight – results in great waves. This stuff also seems to have made my hair healthier, which is awfully hard to do. Would definitely recommend, despite the steep price – it lasts FOREVER!

Beach look 5

Loved this gel. It was perfect for our extended beach stays in Thailand and The Phillipines. At the end of the day I would shower and put this in and leave the hotel with my hair still wet. It would dry fantastic ewith that wonderful beach-y look and still be clean. The scent was nice but would have loved for a coconut scent. :)
