Understanding the Glaze and Gloss of Hair Coloring
Glazing the hair is becoming more and more popular. Less stressful on
the hair, this is for those that do not want a big color change, but do
want a shinier more vibrant color. A semi-permanent color that will last
approximately 6-8 weeks if properly applied and care for, it appears as
sheer color with a hint of tone. The glaze is translucent, so it appears
very natural. (No one will know unless you tell them.) A process that
works well dark hair, it adds a depth that is not always gained with
other coloring techniques.
Perhaps the greatest benefit, though, is the deep conditioning the
hair receives during the process. Glazing is full of rich, silk protein.
It adheres to the hair and conditions thus improving the texture and
manageability. If you have issues with fly away or frizz, this is
something to consider. Hair that is also obviously damaged but needs a
fix that will address color and shine is also a candidate for this
technique.
A professional stylist has several reasons to suggest glazing to her
clients. Much more than what you can accomplish at home, here are
several situations that can best be served by glazing. Blending gray
hair may be a little early in the game, but worry about gray hair for
some young women is a concern. Hereditary, an illness or traumatic shock
can cause strands of gray to appear. Though not severe and hardly
noticeable by others, the one sporting it needs options. Glazing can
blend the gray into the natural color and add bit of highlight in the
process.
A stylist will also refresh your highlights, and if the hair has
taken something of a yellow tint from too many processes, a glaze can
bring a more natural tone and soften the yellow in order to blend into
the overall color. If you are feeling a bit intimidated by coloring or
worried that a drastic change of any kind is not for you, then pump up
the color and shine with a glaze. A technique that is confused with
glazing is glossing. Hair glossing is a totally different technique, and
worth taking a serious look at.
A gloss is more permanent than glazing. It, too, adds shine but
adjusts the tone of the color. If you are a bit brassy or bright, a
gloss will turn the volume down and blend the not so good with the
great. Think of it as a top coat for your hair. A finisher that has only
improved your color not changed it. If you are thinking of trying some
of these products at home, realize the hair care companies use glaze and
gloss in ways that make it hard to differentiate. So remember this, a
glaze adds shines and deposits semi color. A gloss adds only shine. In
regards to glossing, there are several at home products to try. One is
known to be better than all the others and very affordable. Google hair
