Reversing the popular brunette with blonde money piece combo can look striking. Whilst the premise of money piece highlighting is to lighten around the face, teaming a blonde all-over color with a deep brunette money piece is a fun play on the trend. Chocolate hues around the face can make blue or green eyes pop and will suit most skin tones. To be completely honest with you, we see this issue occur when dark Super Glosses (Blazing Brown, Chocolate Gleam, Sleek Espresso) is applied to bleached to highlighted hair. As I'm sure you're already aware, Glaze Super Gloss is a conditioning toning gloss designed to enhance your current color, not drastically change it- essentially a tinted moisturizer for your hair. Hence, when dark Super Gloss is applied to hair that has been stripped of pigment, because of color theory, stains undesired colors. On that same note, we wouldn't apply brunette toner on blonde or bleach hair as the undertones are unsuitable. Plus, some in-salon glossing treatments use professional products that offer longer-lasting shine. ‘ Redken ShadesEQ Gloss lasts up to 20 washes. It’s the perfect product for clients who don’t want to fully commit to colouring their hair or for clients who are new to colour,’ says Paul Bingham, colourist at Larry King Salons. Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask is a zero-damage colour-depositing mask to refresh your salon colour. Use this at-home treatment weekly to easily create Pearl Blond tones in ultra-light blonde hair in just 10 minutes! The temporary colour fades gradually and the rich care ingredients in the formula leave the hair feeling smooth and moisturised. Colour results can vary depending the base level and porosity of the hair – the lighter the hair the brighter the colour. Wella Color Fresh Mask is enriched with avocado oil and is formulated without silicones or animal-derived ingredients. Gloves are needed when applying.

But how do you know which brunette shade to go for? This all depends on how dramatic you want your look to be and the tone of your blonde. Don’t worry, maintenance is super easy with glaze. We have three blonde and three brunette colors available in our Super Gloss range to help keep your color dazzling between salon visits. 2. Add a little spice If you’ve tried Wella Professionals’ color portfolio – from demi-permanent to permanent color – you’ll know how glossy, rich and lustrous the finish can be. The Color Fresh Mask gives a similar effect, helping to maintain or transform your salon hue with megawatt shine and a dose of temporary pigment. 2. It Fades True to ToneWhile both glosses and glazes work in a very similar manner, it’s the colour saturation that differs. ‘A glaze offers a lighter touch with less colour deposit,’ says colourist extraordinaire and the pioneer of at-home hair glosses, Josh Wood. It’s all in the molecule size and accompanying nourishing ingredients. Because the semi-permanent dye molecules in tinted hair glosses are larger and sit on top of the hair, it does the hard work of coating any signs of fractures, brittleness, or dryness of the hair cuticle.

Seems after reading the review before mine I’m not the only one who has had a very costly problem with this product. Going red have never been so popular (thanks Sophie T!) but it’s a colour that fades faster than you can say ‘Jessica Rabbit’. Up the vibrancy of your red with Wella Color Fresh Mask in Copper Glow or look to Josh Wood’s dedicated line of glosses for red hair. Both work on natural redheads too. Are there long-term benefits to hair glossing?

Haircare trends come and go but the one we can all get behind is hair glossing. We've seen clever toners that help to fine-tune colour and shine-boosting products that promise instantly shiny hair, but hair glosses combine the two to create salon-fresh lengths that feel ridiculously soft and look expensive even when you're weeks behind on your appointment. The best part? A hair gloss benefits absolutely everybody, regardless of hair type, texture, colour or condition. What is a hair gloss? Yes! Whether you opt for at-home glossing or in-salon, regular treatments will help restore hydration, strength, and of course, shine. ‘They condition and heal the hair all while adding colour,’ says Wood. Can you use tinted glosses to cover greys? Most blondes need a purple shampoo in their kit. Suggest INVIGO Cool Blonde Color Refreshing Blonde Shampoo, which offers a hint of a violet tint to neutralize brassy tones and refresh their hue. All your client has to do is lather up in the shower whenever hair starts to look dull, then leave it on for five minutes and rinse. They can follow with the Fusion Mask for moisture. 3. Thermal Image for Protection Cool, lilac tints such as Aveda Color Renewal in Cool Blonde and Wella Color Fresh Mask in Pearl Blonde counters brassiness and keeps blonde hair looking fresh. In the mood for a subtle change? Try Josh Wood Peach Blush Hair Glaze for a summery vibe. Reds: It’s like a top coat for nail varnish. (The molecules) cling to the outside of the hair so when you dry your hair, the colour on the outside looks incredibly lustrous and shiny,' explains Wood. Modern hair glosses are also infused with conditioning ingredients such as shea butter and plant oils. What’s the difference between at-home and in-salon glossing treatments?
