There is a difference between hair that is clean and hair that catches the light, and most of us stop one step short of it. De Lorenzo Instant Shine Serum Glass Finisher is that last step, in a 50ml bottle.
TL;DR: A leave-in finishing serum that smooths fly-aways, holds up in humidity and leaves a glossy, mirror-like finish. Light silicones and plant oils polish the surface of the strand, and a UV filter helps shield hair from the sun. One or two drops is the whole job. 50ml.
Product Details and Benefits
- Glass finish, decoded: A leave-in serum that smooths and polishes the hair while helping eliminate frizz and fly-aways, for a genuinely glossy, mirror-like finish rather than a greasy one.
- Humidity-resistant: The formula is built to hold its finish when the air turns damp, which in this part of the world is most of summer.
- Real UV shielding: De Lorenzo says the formula helps shield against UV damage, and the ingredient list backs it up with ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, a genuine UV filter rather than a vague sun claim.
- What's inside: A light silicone blend of cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone and bis-hydroxy/methoxy amodimethicone, plus apricot kernel oil, avocado oil and wheat germ oil.
- Shine is a surface job: Light bounces off the outermost layer of the hair, so a serum that films the surface smoothly is what turns a dull head of hair into a reflective one.
- A drop is the dose: 50ml sounds small until you realise you are using one or two drops per application. This bottle outlasts most of the shelf.
- Best for: Smooth styling, shine finishing and frizz control, on straight blow-dries, waves and everything in between. Go lighter on fine hair.
- Part of the Instant series: De Lorenzo's everyday shampoo, conditioner and treatment range, naturally based with fast-acting protein derivatives, covering normal, coloured, frizzy and fine hair types.
- Australian made: Formulated and manufactured in Australia by De Lorenzo Hair and Cosmetic Research.
- Size: 50ml, small enough to live in a handbag or a travel kit.
How to Use
- Style your hair first. This is a finisher, so it goes on last.
- Dispense one or two drops into your palm and rub your hands together to warm and spread it.
- Press and glide your palms over the outer layer of your hair, following the shape of the style rather than raking through it. The surface is where the shine happens.
- Take whatever is left on your fingers through the ends.
- Only add more if you need it, and only a drop at a time. Nobody has ever successfully removed too much serum.
Pro tip: For the halo of short baby hairs at your hairline and along your part, put the smallest touch of serum on a clean, dry mascara wand or an old toothbrush and comb them down. You get precision on the exact hairs that are misbehaving, instead of flattening the whole crown to fix a two-centimetre problem.
Why You'll Love It
Smooth hair reads as healthy hair, and shine is what sells it. This is the last thirty seconds of your routine that makes the other twenty minutes look worth it, whatever the weather is doing. Add the 50ml bottle to your cart and finish properly.
