Hair Glossing: How to Make Your Hair Shine
We all know the feeling: just a few weeks after coloring your hair, the color starts to lose its shine and you immediately think about recoloring. A gentle, hair-friendly method for refreshing or refining your color is so-called hair gloss. Hair glossing is especially effective for dry, brittle hair.
What is hair glossing?
Hair glossing is a color-refining treatment that requires minimal effort while delivering maximum color results. Brilliance Hair Glossing products give colored or tinted hair more shine and renewed color vibrancy. Unlike bleaching or permanent coloring, the hair structure is not damaged. Some products even have nourishing, conditioning properties. Hair glossing is a color-refining treatment with minimal effort that delivers maximum results, shine, and color vibrancy.
Our Favorite Hair Glossing Products
Glossing is considered a new trend in the beauty world. However, it’s important to know that not all glossing is the same. There are various products that make hair shine. Compared to permanent hair color or demi-permanent color, a hair gloss treatment is the least intensive method, is gentle on the hair structure, and works more like a conditioning treatment.
- Goldwell Colorance Gloss Tones and Wella Shinefinity are demi-permanent coloring products that are mixed with a 2% developer and applied. The products take effect after a processing time of 10 to 20 minutes.
- Kérastase Chroma Absolu Soin Acide Chroma Gloss, on the other hand, is a clear hair glossing treatment that works as a pure shine formula without pigments. It is used once a week like a hair mask and left in the hair for 1 to 2 minutes.
- As a hair glossing option from Schwarzkopf, we recommend the Chroma ID Bonding Color Mask. The shade 9.5-1 Platinum Blonde Cendré Ice creates a true Brilliance Hair Glossing effect for blonde hair. Light hair colors are refreshed and gain intense shine. And the “freshly colored” feeling definitely lasts longer with this Schwarzkopf hair glossing treatment.
Hair Glossing Against Yellow Tones
A classic example of hair glossing is the removal of unwanted yellow tones in bleached hair using blue or violet pigments. With products such as Wella Shinefinity Toffee Cream or Goldwell Colorance 9 V Soft Platinum, glossing creates ash blonde or platinum blonde shades—cool tones that look especially flattering on light skin types with blue eyes. This type of hair glossing is just as suitable for gray hair as it is for naturally blonde or bleached hair.
At-Home Hair Glossing: Tips & Tricks
The good news is: anyone who wants more shine for their hair can easily create their dream hair gloss at home. In fact, it’s easier than coloring your hair, as there’s not much that can go wrong. The following aspects should be kept in mind:
- The intensity depends on the processing time. The longer the hair glossing product remains in the hair, the more intense the color result or shine effect will be.
For glossing treatments with color pigments, the following also applies:
- If you choose a glossing treatment with color pigments, they should be matched to your skin and hair type: light honey tones or rich coffee shades suit brunette hair. Blonde hair can achieve a golden or cool shimmer. For red hair, copper reflections work particularly well.
- When applying, be sure to place a towel over your shoulders and wear gloves.
