My hairdresser used to do this to me and call it a glaze also, it was my gateway drug to going full color lol. I had strawberry blond and she would tint it more ginger/copper, it was subtle but still pretty permanent, I think the difference is that is was more of a transparent shade. I think it may have been Redken Shades but diluted or mixed with something else.

My recommendation if you just want a tint and don't want anything too permanent, get a color conditioner. I've been doing dark red now for years and these have been a lifesaver between color appointments to keep the red vibrant. I really like the Moroccanoil Color Mask, The Keracolor Clenditioners work well too. I've heard good things about the IGK mask, and the dpHue glaze also

People often interchange the words glaze, gloss and toner if that helps :)

A hair gloss is a demi-permanent treatment that works by depositing color onto the hair shaft, not by lifting or removing it. Therefore, you won't know the REAL effect/color unless you try it :(

One is a gloss, other is a tint. Gloss leaves no stain, tint leaves a pigmented stain.

The tint colors are not flattering tbh, looks orangey when they wear off. Get the gloss for plump, juicy lip effect.

Attaching swatches of the glosses I have:

One is gloss and thick consistancy Where tint is more like watery more fluidy texture

Glasting gloss is very glossy like glass on your lips , it’s good as a lip tint/lipstick topper the water tint is more like a lip tint stays for longer time and weighs nothing on lips

The gloss one is a gloss and won't tint+ its not that pigmented. The 2nd slide is a water lip tint which means it would be thin, if you have tried their juicy lasting series then you can say the water tint is thinner than that. Your lips will tint properly and gives a bit of that rom&nd lip tint shine. Refer to youtube for the colours as they are strong af💙

Edit: water tint is gel based, I was thinking of the suitable term.

the first is a gloss and the second is a tint

I am guessing that you just bought this and not anything to mix it with? It’s the pigment and you mix it with developer.

How did it turn out?

I had good experience with Kristin ess gloss BUT only with brunette I haven’t tried with my blonde.

I’ve had a similar issue with my hair. As I’ve gotten older it’s lost its vibrancy and brightness. Last week my stylist put a Danger Jones gloss in and I absolutely love it. It brought back the bright shiny hair I had when I was younger.

As a redhead, I’ve used the kristen ess one in copper but be careful I left it on too long and looked like a pumpkin lol

DP Hue, I’ve used the strawberry blonde, copper, and caramel.

I don’t have any answers for you but I’m getting a gloss myself to help my natural red hair be more vibrant. I’ve tried some color depositing products at home but they haven’t really worked. If the gloss doesn’t work I might start asking my stylist for red foils 🫣

I would either mix them together, or apply the brown one first and then apply the clear one after rinsing. It depends on how much coverage you're trying to achieve because adding clear to brown will make it less pigmented and more sheer.

as long as they don't cause hairfall

Open ended question and they both serve different purposes.

You have pure carnauba waxes which will last 2 weeks to synthetic waxes that are basically sealants marketed as a wax (in paste or liquid form) that can last a year (like fusso).

Generally speaking a glaze has no durability and its primary purpose is to add depth and gloss by filling in the top coat (clear or non clear) to make the clear optically even thus making it more reflective. Because its a temporary filler, this is why body shops use glaze after freshly painting. It doesnt seal the paint, which is important while its still in the curing phase. (This is why some polishes and waxes have body shop safe on the label).

Wax on the other hand is used to “protect” the top coat, and doesnt do much to fill in the imperfections in the clear. While itll add gloss, its more for protection against the elements.

I glazed back in 2005 when i first started detailing before i knew what a rotary or dual action did. It added immense gloss but it was very short lived. Eventually i just stuck to waxing and moved on (to coatings).

Most glazes have solvents which will affect the ability for a wax to adhere so note when laying glaze over wax.

Hope this helped.

Glaze kinda sucks and only fills scratches temporarily. Doesn't last long or provide much protection. Waste of time, in my opinion and experience.
