I have very fine type 1 hair and it is naturally shiny. With henna it SUPER shiny.
I always assumed that if you had thicker, coarser or curly strands then it might not be as shiny. I'd 100% trade the shine for thick hair any day though.

I have fine type 1 (verging on type 2) hair that is naturally shiny. A big part of this is that it's very low on the porosity spectrum. Colour matters, too, though; my natural colour is an ashy dark blonde/light brown, and compared to my hennaed hair it wasn't as shiny as it is now that it's darker. Lighting makes a difference as well; my avatar picture was taken by the window on a sunny day, so there's more shine there than in a windowless bathroom.

Little shine here! I think it's a combo of color and frizz.
I have type 2 hair and it is not shiny. Also my natural regrowth (about 2 inches now) it is no shiny at all... My natural hair is very fine and with a low porosity.
