What is a hair gloss treatment?
A hair gloss treatment is a semi-permanent hair treatment designed to enhance shine, improve hair texture, and refresh or tone colour. It works by coating the hair strands with a transparent or tinted gloss that seals the cuticle, giving hair a smoother and more polished appearance.
How does a hair gloss treatment work?
The treatment typically contains conditioning agents and pigments (if tinted) that:
❣ Smooth the outer layer of the hair cuticle
❣ Lock in moisture and color
❣ Add a radiant shine to dull or lifeless hair.
Is hair gloss the same as hair dye?
No, clear gloss treatments don’t alter colour at all—they simply enhance shine.
How long does a hair gloss treatment last?
Hair gloss treatments usually last 3–4 weeks, depending on factors like hair type, washing frequency, and the specific product used. Over time, the gloss fades gradually without leaving harsh lines or noticeable regrowth.
Who should consider a hair gloss treatment?
Hair gloss treatments are ideal for:
❣ Anyone looking to add shine to dull or damaged hair
❣ Those who want to refresh or enhance their hair colour without a full dye job
❣ People with frizzy or coarse hair who want a smoother texture.
Can I get a hair gloss treatment on natural hair?
Yes! Hair gloss treatments work on all hair types—natural, colour-treated, or chemically processed. Clear gloss is perfect for enhancing shine without changing your hair colour, while tinted gloss can subtly enhance or adjust your natural shade.
Is a hair gloss treatment damaging to hair?
No, hair gloss treatments are non-damaging and often contain nourishing ingredients that condition the hair. They are a great way to improve your hair’s health and appearance without long-term commitment or harm.
How is hair gloss different from a keratin treatment?
While both treatments improve hair's appearance, keratin treatments focus on reducing frizz and straightening hair, while gloss treatments primarily enhance shine and colour. Gloss is also less invasive and doesn’t require long-term maintenance.
How should I care for my hair after a gloss treatment?
To extend the life of your hair gloss treatment:
❣ Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners
❣ Limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant
❣ Wash your hair less frequently to maintain the gloss.
How often can I get a hair gloss treatment?
You can get a hair gloss treatment every 1-2 weeks, depending on your hair's condition and your desired look. It’s safe to use regularly as part of your haircare routine.
