Hair glazes are often met with confusion; what exactly do they do? How are they different to a gloss or other hair colour?

Our Creative Director, Lisa Shepherd, explains the ins and outs of a hair glaze treatment and why it’s a great option to go for this Autumn…

1. A glaze will repair any summer damage you have.

If you’ve spent a little too much time in the sun and chlorine this summer then a glaze is for you. It repairs your hair and undo’s all that damage as the glaze will deep condition your hair for ultimate shine.

2. A glaze is in no way damaging to your hair; in fact it is repairing.

A glaze is acidic and closes the hair cuticle which results in a smooth surface texture that will reflect more light, automatically anti-aging, and have a softer feel to it which means you’re getting a colour and conditioning treatment in one.

3. A glaze provides translucent colour and intense conditioning.

A gloss will work with the variation of tone that you hair naturally has, allowing for a more natural shade as it gives a tonal effect as opposed to being one solid opaque colour. Think lip-gloss rather than lipstick.

4. It can help tone down highlights and balayage.

If your highlights/balayage is looking a little brassy after the summer months then a glaze will tone in the colour.

5. It’s a no-commitment change.

The best thing about it is there’s no commitment as it’s going to fade on its own (within 6-8 washes) and if you want to change your hair, it doesn’t interfere with any type of colour change you want to do in the future.

6. It’s totally in for Autumn 2016.

This season’s hair tones will be varying shades of caramel, treacle and bronze, colour glazes will look great over your natural hair or over existing highlights/balayage.
