Shine Serum 65ml - Cadiveu Brasil Cacau is the finishing gloss of the Brasil Cacau range: a few lightweight silicone drops you smooth over the lengths and ends to add instant shine and keep the frizz down on smoothed hair. It lays a fine, protective film over the surface, so the hair reads glossy and sleek without feeling greasy or weighed down. It is the last step of a blow-dry, in a 65ml bottle, and a little goes a long way.

Why the Shine Serum

A Brazilian smoothing already leaves the hair smoother, but a shine serum is what gives a blow-dry its finished, glossy surface. This is that last step. Worked through the lengths and ends, the silicone film seals the cuticle and reflects the light, so the hair looks shiny and the last of the frizz is smoothed down. Because it is a lightweight, drop-dose serum it adds gloss without the weight of a heavy oil, which suits fine and mid hair as much as thick. It is the finishing touch of the Brasil Cacau home care routine, used after the Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Anti-Frizz Conditioner, and it pairs with the Gradual Smooth Serum when you also want to reactivate the smooth finish.

Key Ingredients

The gloss comes from a light silicone blend: Cyclopentasiloxane spreads the product thin and flashes off, leaving Dimethicone to lay a fine, smooth film over the cuticle that reflects light and controls frizz. Isopropyl Myristate carries the silicones and helps them spread evenly through the lengths. It is an anhydrous serum, so it is concentrated and a few drops cover the hair; there is no water, no oil weight and no smoothing active here. It shines and smooths the surface, it does not treat or straighten the hair.

What to Expect

Smoothed through damp or dry lengths, the hair takes an immediate gloss and a sleeker surface, with the frizz settled and the ends looking polished rather than dry. Because the dose is small and the base is light, it lifts the shine without leaving the hair greasy or limp, and it holds through the day. Because the dose is so light it does not build up, so you can finish every blow-dry with it, and smooth a drop through dry ends later in the day if the shine has dulled. It is a finish you add at the end, so it tops up the look of a smoothing between washes rather than changing the hair.

Who It Is For

• Clients maintaining a Brazilian smoothing who want a glossy, frizz-controlled finish to close a blow-dry
• Fine to thick hair that wants shine without the weight of a heavy oil
• Salons that want a take-home finishing serum to sell alongside the service

Who It Is Not For

• A client after a treatment or a straightening, since this is a surface shine, not a smoothing
• Very fine hair where even a light silicone can read flat if too much is used
• Hair a client likes to feel completely bare with nothing smoothed over the ends

Professional tip: warm one or two drops between the palms first, then press through the mid-lengths and ends rather than raking; that spreads the film evenly and keeps it off the roots, where shine serum reads greasy fastest. Add a drop more only where the ends still look dry.

How to Use

Run a sensitivity test before first use. Pour a few drops into your palm and spread them over the lengths and ends of dry or wet hair. Do not rinse. Keep it off the roots. Use it after the Anti-Frizz Conditioner to finish a blow-dry.

Where It Fits in Your Maintenance Routine

The Shine Serum is the finishing gloss of the Brasil Cacau home care routine, the last step over a smoothing done with any of the Brasil Cacau smoothing systems. Wash with the Anti-Frizz Shampoo, follow with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner, and smooth a few drops through the ends to finish. For a smooth-finish top-up between services, reach for the Gradual Smooth Serum as well.
