Why this worksA hair gloss treatment works by coating the hair strands with a protective layer that enhances shine and reflects light. This treatment not only adds gloss but also helps to smooth the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and improving manageability. When done regularly, a gloss can help maintain your hair's health and appearance, making it look freshly styled even between salon visits.

The ritual, step by step

Choose your gloss product Select a clear gloss treatment that suits your hair type. Look for products that are ammonia-free to avoid damaging your strands.
Prepare your hair Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup. Towel-dry your hair until it's damp but not soaking wet.
Apply the gloss Divide your hair into sections for easier application. Use a brush or your fingers to apply the gloss evenly from roots to ends, ensuring full coverage.
Process the treatment Leave the gloss on for the recommended time, usually around 20 minutes. You can use heat from a hooded dryer or a shower cap to enhance the treatment's effectiveness.
Rinse and style Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water to seal in the gloss. Follow with your regular conditioner if needed, then style as usual.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the clarifying shampoo step, which can prevent the gloss from adhering properly. Applying too much product can lead to a greasy feel instead of a shiny finish. Also, rinsing with hot water can strip away the gloss, so always use cool water for the final rinse.

The pro moveFor an extra boost, use a heat protectant spray before applying the gloss to further enhance shine and protect your hair.
