Glossing

We’ve Got the Gloss

If you’ve ever wondered about the secret behind those glossy, shimmering locks you’ve seen on others, you’re in for a treat at Blackheath Hair & Co. Today; we delve into the world of hair glossing, a treatment that’s been making waves (and shine!) in the beauty industry.

What is a Hair Gloss?

Hair gloss, often called a hair glaze, is a semi-permanent treatment designed to boost your hair’s shine, vibrancy, and overall health. It’s like a topcoat for your tresses, giving them that enviable, mirror-like shine. A gloss coats the surface, unlike hair dyes, which penetrate the hair shaft. Think of it as a protective, shiny shield for your hair.

The Benefits of Hair Glossing

Shine Galore: The primary benefit, of course, is the incredible shine. It’s like turning on a light inside your hair.
Tone Enhancement: Hair gloss can subtly adjust the tone of your hair, making it perfect for those in between salon visits.
Hair Protection: The gloss is a barrier against environmental damage, such as UV rays and pollution.
Smoothness: It helps tame frizz and make hair feel softer to the touch.

How is Hair Gloss Applied?

The application process is straightforward and relaxing. At Blackheath Hair & Co, we start by washing your hair with a gentle shampoo. The gloss is then applied evenly from root to tip. Depending on the product, it’s left on for about 20 minutes before being rinsed out. And voila! You’re left with radiant, glossy locks.

Difference Between a Hair Gloss and a Hair Toner Or Colour?

It’s easy to get confused with all the hair treatment terminologies. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Hair Gloss: Enhances shine and can subtly adjust the tone. It’s semi-permanent and sits on the hair’s surface.
Hair Toner: Used primarily to adjust the tone of bleached or dyed hair. It neutralises unwanted brassy or yellow tones.
Hair Colour: This penetrates the hair shaft, changing its colour. It can be permanent or semi-permanent.

The Glossiest Pure Glossing Looks

From subtle sun-kissed highlights to deep, rich brunettes, hair glossing complements every hair type and colour. It adds depth, dimension, and of course, that signature shine. Whether you’re a blonde looking to enhance your golden hues or a redhead wanting to amplify your fiery tresses, there’s a gloss for you.

How to Maintain a Hair Gloss Treatment

To keep that shine lasting longer:

Use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners.
Avoid excessive heat styling. If you must, always use a heat protectant.
Consider using a leave-in conditioner or hair serum for added protection and shine.
