All About color theory and how to have the best glossing results

A hair gloss is a subtle coloring and conditioning treatment that infuses locks with radiance and shine. It’s perfect for refreshing Blondes, Dark and Reds, and bold shades in between color appointments, but it can also be used to add on-the-day luminosity to freshly-colored hair. Think of glossing as the hairdressing industry’s best-kept secret, as it offers a cost-effective, time-efficient way of breathing new life into locks. (Wella website) 

Highlighted hair behaves differently from the rest of your hair because it's been treated differently. For some people, highlights may have been overly bleached, creating too-light streaks throughout the hair. Even highlights that start flattering will fade over time and begin to look unnaturally light or unflatteringly yellow. That's because natural yellow pigments remain in hair after lightening. Hair color adjusts the color by layering violet and ash tones on top to counteract the yellow. When the color fades from the highlighted hair, the yellow begins to show again.

Hair gloss treatments are a great alternative to traditional hair dye for those looking to make a tonal or color change to hair without the damage of ammonia. Results last four to six weeks depending on how often you wash your hair, and the demi-permanent formula boosts shine while minimizing processing. If you're looking for a low-damage hair color shift, hair gloss treatments are the solution for you. 

One of the best things about ColorCoach is that we can help you to get the perfect formula for glossing application using your level finder to know the current level of the hair tone or the colored hair condition, and another tip is to identify the condition of the tone as well, whether it is a cool/ash or neutral, warm/gold or red.
