Birchbox Breakdown

This fade-proof finishing gloss is the next generation of hair protection. Not only does it strengthen dry or brittle strands, but it also helps protect your hard-earned color from sun damage. Use it regularly to keep your hue true and healthy until your next appointment: it’s clinically proven to help retain color and brightness for 60 washes. If you don’t color your hair, you can still use this product to keep strands supple and shiny.

How it Works

This oh-so-light leave-in finishing gloss is made with organic bamboo, which has amino acids to help boost strength and flexibility. A shot of Kalahari extract—an antioxidant-rich South African watermelon—helps block UV rays from oxidizing and fading your hair color. Finally, fatty acids repair damage.

How to Use

Apply several pumps through towel-dried hair (about one pump for short hair and three for long strands) to strengthen strands and keep color vibrant longer. Or use half as much on dry hair to add major shine and hydration.

Amazing!

Everytime I use this on my hair, it looks and feels amazing all day! Not greasy at all and all you need is one or two pumps for my slightly longer than shoulder length hair. I would recommend this to anyone.

Great hair. Great smell!

I first noticed the smell! I love the fun summer smell of it. I realized right away that you needed to pump into hands then apply. I only wish the smell lasted.

Ordered full size

This is a great find, though be careful how much you use. I put it in my palm, rub hands together and then apply it because pumping it on just leaves one spot really oily. Gives hair a nice sheen.

Not bad

It works well as a finishing product for my hair. It is light weight and does not make my hair seem oily but it doesn't really do anything special.

Always good products

I am a big fan of all Alterna products so was happy to get this in my monthly box. Can't say if it helped my color last longer (I mean, really, how can you tell?) but it did have a good scent and feel in the hair when used.

Love it

This product is great at keeping my color looking fabulous and my hair feeling great. I generally try and used this all the time, especially in the summer when i'm swimming and my color takes a beating.

Got some shine back!

I have hair that i have had to start coloring because those yucky grays are creeping in. I was losing the shine I used to enjoy in my 20's and 30's but this product has worked double duty - increasing shine and protecting the color. It's also in a nice little slim tube, so it travels well. Love it!
