Maintaining Hair Gloss

Professional vs. At-Home Treatments

Professional hair gloss treatments at salons can provide noticeable results, as seen in a user's anecdote where their cousin's hair appeared shiny and healthy after a salon gloss treatment [1:1]. However, some users have found that salon glosses are essentially clear toners, which may not last beyond 6-8 weeks [1:2]. For at-home options, brands like Redken and L'Oreal offer effective products. The Redken acidic gloss is praised for making hair silky smooth, while L'Oreal's Glycolic Acid hair gloss adds shine and smoothness [1:3][1:4].

DIY Remedies

For those on a budget, DIY remedies can be effective for achieving glossy hair. Using hair oil as a pre-wash treatment and applying silicone serums post-wash while gently blow-drying can enhance shine [3:1]. These methods are affordable and can be easily incorporated into your routine without the need for expensive store-bought glosses.

Considerations for Color-Treated Hair

Users with color-treated hair, especially high porosity types, might benefit from specific glosses tailored to their needs. Incorporating gloss into your routine can help maintain color intensity and add shine [2]. It's important to choose glosses that complement your hair color; for instance, Kristin Ess gloss has been recommended for brunettes but not yet tested on blondes [5:1].

Product Selection and Usage

Selecting the right product for your hair type and color is crucial. Some users have experienced mixed results with products like Kerastase Chroma Absolu Color Gloss, particularly if they have virgin curly hair [1:6]. Additionally, understanding the pigment composition of glosses is essential for achieving desired color tones, as seen in discussions about using colorcharm gloss for faded peachy/pink hair [4:1].

In summary, maintaining hair gloss involves selecting the right products or treatments based on your hair type and color, considering both professional and DIY options, and incorporating them into your routine for best results.

ORIGINAL POST

Has anyone tried professional hair gloss treatments at the salon?

How about at-home treatments, such as from drugstore brands (L’oreal, Glaze) vs. higher end brands like Redken, Keratase, etc.?

Did you find that it made a difference after multiple uses or was it a gimmick?

Idk if this is true but I tried to get a hair gloss at the salon and the lady said it was basically clear toner. So I just got toner for my highlights instead. I think it’s only supposed to last 6-8 weeks at most.

The redken color acidic gloss is insane. My hair is silky smooth after. Not a gloss but highly recommend sleeping with the kerastase 8hr hair lotion in as well. I feel the lotion prolongs the soft feeling of the gloss without it looking oily/losing volume.

I have it and honestly, it’s pretty meh. I prefer the other L’Oréal gloss w colour! I like the added intensity w the hair dye and it added a lot more shine compared to the glycolic gloss.

I love the L'Oreal Glycolic Acid hair gloss. It definitely makes my hair shiny and it also makes the hair incredibly smooth.

I have used up around half of my bottle of Kerastase Chroma Absolu Color Gloss. I have virgin curly hair and don’t really notice any difference. I wanted more shine and reflection but honestly I don’t see that happening. I had seen it work well on YouTube for someone with coloured hair so maybe that is a prerequisite.

Anecdotally, my cousin came over and her hair looked so shiny, healthy and extra black. I asked if she had done anything different and she said she got a hair gloss at her salon. It looked great on her and I really noticed!

How to get glossy hair?

Posted by Professional_Let_681 · in r/Haircare · 4 months ago

Hey everyone!

So I have pretty good hair not too fine, not too thick the texture is just right but I really want to add that glossy, shiny look to it. The problem is, all those store-bought glosses and treatments are wayyy out of my budget right now.

Does anyone have any DIY remedies or home treatments that actually work for making hair shiny? Something easy and affordable? I don’t have any major damage or frizz, I just want that healthy, light-reflecting shine!

Thanks in advance!

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.

I have not seen your hair, but if you have peach/pink hair this could have the wrong tones in it for you to get the color you want. Rose quartz usually are pink because they used purple pigments while rosé peach pink you are saying that you have get the pink from red. I can’t say for sure without the colorcode that say exactly what’s used to get a certain shade.

At home toner / gloss ?

Posted by Appropriate_Bit_7851 · in r/Hair · 8 months ago

I have dark brown hair and have gone to a professional stylist for a few years for blonde highlights. I LOVE the look I get from the salon, until the tone of the highlights starts to fade about 4 weeks later. I bought Wella Color Charm demi permanent “gloss & refresh” from Sally’s (w/ 10 developer) but am terrified it will make my whole head the same color. Is this safe to use in between salon visits to re-tone my highlights? Or will I regret this.

It's not going to touch your brown hair. It's hard to know what it would do to your highlights without seeing them. If they're really light, they'll darken them a little bit. Probably won't tone much as it's a neutral though

You can go to the salon in between visits & just get toner…or purple or silver shampoo at home

Many glosses are demi permanent and aren’t suppose to last as long as something permanent would, so around 6-8 weeks. I’d try a detoxifying shampoo but if you’ve done endless clarifying shampoos I’d let the hair rest as it can be damaging on the hair.

Any tips for keeping hair neat throughout the day?

Posted by Sleeoybear75 · in r/beauty · 5 years ago

My hair always looks great right before I walk out the door, but it just gets tangled and scraggly halfway through the day. I have (a lot of) healthy hair, but the strands are fine. It’s between straight and wavy most days.

I just want to look more like the professional I am, if that makes sense.

Thank in advance, queens! ��

Honestly, the easiest way I’ve combated this is to just wear my hair up, and bring a small boar brush with me to flatten the small frizzy hairs that pop up.

Seriously my life since elementary school! I have a ton of bright blonde hair but the strands are thin & often the ends get dry while the roots produce plenty of oil, having a tiny brush allows me to distribute that oil toward the ends & keep my hair looking somewhat in order.

catkittens · 5 years ago

I’m still struggling with this but what has helped me:

• getting regular trims (I get them every 6-8 weeks, any longer and my hair looks like it hasn’t been combed in a century) • always have a brush with you (I have a tangle teezer that’s always in my bag) • some sort of hair oil. I currently use the OUIA Rose Hair & Body oil. I apply it in the morning and sometime again in the afternoon.

It's heat styling. If you ever get a haircut and they style it afterwards, you know how good your hair looks until the next wash. You can get something similar at home, but it's not worth it to do it constantly.

There are some shine sprays for hair. Plus the heat style it without unnecessary creases which reflect light and creates an illusion of healthier hair.

how to maintain hair gloss

Key Considerations for Maintaining Hair Gloss

  1. Use the Right Shampoo and Conditioner:

    • Choose sulfate-free products to avoid stripping natural oils.
    • Look for moisturizing formulas that enhance shine.
  2. Regular Conditioning Treatments:

    • Incorporate deep conditioning masks or treatments once a week to nourish and hydrate your hair.
    • Consider leave-in conditioners for added moisture.
  3. Limit Heat Styling:

    • Reduce the use of heat styling tools (like blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners) to prevent damage.
    • When using heat, apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair.
  4. Cold Water Rinse:

    • Finish your hair washing routine with a cold water rinse to seal the hair cuticle and enhance shine.
  5. Regular Trims:

    • Get regular haircuts (every 6-8 weeks) to remove split ends and keep your hair looking healthy.
  6. Healthy Diet:

    • Consume a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals (like omega-3 fatty acids, biotin, and vitamins A and E) to promote healthy hair from the inside out.
  7. Avoid Over-Washing:

    • Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of natural oils. Aim for 2-3 times a week, depending on your hair type.

Recommendation: Consider using a shine-enhancing serum or oil after styling to add extra gloss. Products containing argan oil or silicone can provide a smooth finish and enhance shine without weighing your hair down.
