Product Review: Eleven Australia Make Me Shine Spray Gloss

I have long and thick hair, which has been coloured countless times, and not to mentioned stressed out by daily sessions with the hair dryer and heat straightener. And to top it off, just a month ago I gave birth to our beautiful son Oliver (you can see the pics here if you missed them!), and as everyone has kept telling me, the changing hormones raging through my body will be sure to show too in the condition of my hair. And sadly they were right. My hair does feel more dry and doesn’t look as healthy as it usually does. So I was excited to be putting the *Eleven Australia Make Me Shine Spray Gloss to the test. Here are my thoughts;

What They Say:

"A lightweight finishing spray to control flyaways & add shine. For all hair types."

RRP: $22.95 (145g) – Available from Eleven Australia Online

What I Say:

I recently reviewed the Eleven Australia Miracle Treatment, which truly is a fantastic miracle product, so I was looking forward to and had high hopes for the Make Me Shine Gloss Spray as well.

Eleven Australia products are Australian made and owned. The company is an exciting new venture from leading haircare distributor Ozdare, developed with Creative Directors, Joey Scandizzo, three times Australian Hairdresser of the Year, and Andrew O’Toole, esteemed hair and fashion photographer in Australia and the UK.

 

 

Eleven Australia is driven from a desire for a fresh, uncomplicated and affordable solution to haircare products, made from high performance ingredients, but without the excessive price tag - “healthy, beautiful hair has never been so simple and affordable.” All sounds pretty good to me.

Having long and straight hair, some of the hair products I rely on are products which reduce the flyaways, that I have particularly around my face, and add shine to make my hair look and feel healthier. Make Me Shine does all that.

After washing and styling my hair, I simply add a quick spray of the Make Me Shine, and it smooth over my hair with my hands to tame the flyaways, and the results are amazing. The flyaways really are controlled, and my hair is left with the most amazing shine, yet in spite of being a finishing product, the spray gloss is lightweight and my hair is not left feeling stiff and sticky like some finishing products and hairsprays do. When I use it, my hair looks so shiny and glossy, and it brings out the colours in my hair so it looks like I’ve just had my hair re-coloured!

The Make Me Shine comes in a typical aerosol hairspray can, white with simple yet stylish pink writing on it. Compared to a hairspray it is smaller, but don’t be fooled, just a quick spray will do the trick, so the spray will last you a long time. It has a nice floral scent, which however does fade a little once the product has dried in the hair.

All in all this is a great multi-tasking product, as no longer do I have to add both a gloss serum to give my hair shine, and then follow with a finishing spray to tame those annoying flyaways. At $22.95 it comes at a great price for such a high quality salon product. So if your hair is looking dull and needs a boost, then I highly recommend that you try it. I for one am in love with this product, it truly does make my hair shine!! Well done Eleven!
