Glossing FAQs

What is Glossing?

Hair gloss is a semi-permanent treatment designed to add shine, enhance colour, and smooth your hair for a healthier appearance. Unlike permanent colours, glossing products are ammonia-free and non-damaging, making them a safe option for all hair types.

  • Clear Gloss: Adds shine and smoothness without altering your hair colour.
  • Tinted Gloss: Enhances or refreshes your existing colour with a subtle tone boost.

Perfect for both natural and colour-treated hair, glossing is the go-to solution for reviving your hair’s radiance.

Glossing vs. toning

Both glossing and toners are popular colour treatments, but they serve distinct purposes:

Hair Gloss: This treatment focuses on enhancing shine, smoothing texture, and providing subtle adjustments to the tone. It brightens the overall look of your hair, giving it a healthy, glossy finish. While it can slightly shift the tone, its main goal is to add vibrant shine and lock in colour.

Hair Toner: Toners are designed to correct specific colour imbalances, such as neutralising brassiness or yellow tones. Ideal for refining colour after bleaching or colouring, a toner adjusts the underlying shades to create a more natural, balanced result.

How long does glossing last?

A glossing service is semi-permanent, and the effects last for around four to six weeks.

Are there different kinds of glossing?

Yes. There’s clear gloss, which adds shine to your natural hair, and colour gloss that contains pigment to add depth and tone to your ‘do.

Which hair types are ideal for hair glossing?

Hair glossing is a versatile treatment that works for all hair types, enhancing shine, smoothness, and overall health. Whether you have fine, straight hair or thick, curly locks, this treatment helps improve manageability and restore a glossy finish. It’s especially beneficial for:

Coloured Hair: Glossing is a fantastic way to maintain the vibrancy of your colour and prevent it from fading too quickly. It also helps to correct any unwanted tones, such as brassiness, and adds a healthy, radiant shine that brings out the best in your colour.

Natural Hair: For those with natural, uncoloured hair, a clear gloss adds incredible shine and smoothness without changing your natural hue. It helps to reduce frizz and makes your hair look healthier and more vibrant, with minimal effort.

Chemically Treated Hair: If you have hair that’s been coloured, permed, or chemically straightened, glossing can help restore its health by nourishing and smoothing the hair cuticle. It also helps reduce frizz, making it more manageable and shinier, while protecting the hair from further damage.

What are the benefits of a glossing treatment?

Hair glossing is a quick, versatile treatment that not only delivers incredible shine but also enhances your colour, leaving your hair looking and feeling healthier than ever. Whether you want to refresh your existing colour or add that head-turning glow, this damage-free service is the perfect solution.

Instant Shine: Hair glossing revives dull, lacklustre hair by restoring its natural radiance, leaving it with an instant, healthy shine.

Colour Boost: It refreshes faded colour and corrects unwanted hues, ensuring your hair’s colour looks fresh and vibrant for longer.

Damage-Free: Unlike some other treatments, hair glossing is free from harsh chemicals, making it a safe, gentle option for all hair types.

Frizz Control: By smoothing the cuticle, hair glossing reduces frizz and flyaways, delivering a sleek, polished finish that’s easier to manage.

Versatility: Whether you have natural or colour-treated hair, glossing enhances its health and appearance, adding a glowing shine without changing your base colour.

How to maintain a hair gloss treatment

To ensure your glossed hair stays looking its best for as long as possible, a few maintenance tips can help prolong the effects:

Use Colour-Safe Shampoos and Conditioners: These products are designed to help preserve your colour and keep the gloss looking fresh for longer.

Limit Excessive Heat Styling: Protect your gloss by reducing the amount of heat styling you do. If you must use hot tools, always apply a heat protectant spray.

Protect Your Hair from UV Exposure: The sun can cause hair colour to fade faster, so try to protect your hair from direct UV exposure when possible.

Deep Condition Regularly: Incorporating a deep conditioning treatment into your haircare routine can help maintain the health and shine of your hair, keeping it looking vibrant between glossing appointments.

Can a hair gloss help with brassiness?

Yes! A tinted gloss can help neutralise unwanted brassiness in blonde, brunette, or red hair, giving your colour a cooler, more balanced tone

Is a hair gloss damaging to my hair?

No, hair glossing is a gentle, damage-free treatment. It’s formulated without harsh chemicals, making it safe for all hair types, including coloured and chemically treated hair.
