7 Reasons To Try A Hair Gloss
Coloring your hair doesn't have to be a lifetime commitment.
Coloring your hair doesn’t have to be a lifetime commitment. In fact, there is an easy way to flirt with new hair colors without compromising the integrity of your strands. Hair glosses, like Redken’s Shades EQ, are a form of demi-permanent hair color that can help enhance your hair’s natural shine while correcting and revitalizing the tone of your hair. It’s perfect for those who are new to the world of hair color or simply want to try out a new beauty trend without committing.
Hair glosses help give you the richness, depth, and dimension you never knew was missing from your strands. These glosses work by using a mixture of direct and oxidative dyes to glaze, refresh, and correct your current hair color. It helps to improve the look of your hair without over processing or drying out your strands. In fact, this hair color basically thinks it’s a conditioner. How cool is that? Think of it as your hair color’s new BFF.
Wondering what else this wonder-gloss can do for your strands? Here are seven reasons to try a hair gloss.
Color Without Commitment

Since tinted hair glosses are demi-permanent, the processed color gradually fades over time, but this doesn’t mean your strands will be left with visible roots or regrowth. Since Redken Shades EQ is a gloss, it doesn’t lift or lighten the color of your hair. It’s formulated with just enough pigment to renew and improve the overall tone of your hair color without drying out your ends. Stylists turn to this service if they’re looking to enhance a client’s natural color or reinvigorate previously colored hair. It’s their go-to service for ensuring glossy, rich strands each and every time.

Unfortunately, hair color can only last so long on your strands before it begins to fade. Using a hair gloss is the perfect way to refresh dulling hair color. Once applied to the hair, the gloss perfects, tones, and color-corrects any hair color imperfections that have occurred since your last visit. Say good-bye to any faded ends and dull looking strands. With Redken Shades EQ gloss you can transform your hair color in just 20 minutes.
Eliminates Brassiness

Brassy tones happen to the best of us. As any blonde can tell you, yellowing highlights and orangey tints can be a nightmare to correct. By booking a hair gloss, stylists can color-correct problematic tones in a client’s hair giving them more natural looking results.

Hair glosses are like an Instagram filter, IRL. They help to add vibrancy and shine to your hair no matter what your lighting situation is. As the Shades EQ formula is crafted without drying ammonia, your Redken stylist can color your hair without worrying about it losing its natural shine. One of the main benefits of a gloss is that it works by closing the cuticle of the hair and creating a smooth surface for light to reflect off of. Basically, it puts a spotlight on your strands and ramps up the overall vivacity of your hair.
Adds Volume & Manageability

As with any color service, hair glosses raise the cuticle to deposit a small amount of color on the hair. When the cuticle is lifted, volume and texture are created, which gives the hair a bit more manageability when styling. After a hair gloss service, you’ll notice that your strands appear plumper and are easier to style.

With hair glosses, your color change can look very natural and subtle. For instance, sometimes when the hair is bleached it can look very yellow due to the hair’s natural undertones. By adding a gloss, your stylist can tone down that yellowness and add in a new hue. So, the hair will still be blonde, but the gloss will allow your stylist to make the color either more golden, ashy toned or any other variation they choose! Think of hair glosses as the perfect final touch to your hair coloring service.
