Why Hair Gloss is Great for You
Permanent color works by opening your hair shaft to remove natural hair pigments and insert new color pigments. This is great when you've just started to color. When you've already colored your hair, those strands have been through the permanent process and are already receptive to color, so you can use gloss to maintain it.
On porous hair (you can tell if your hair gets really dark when you first color and then fades very quickly), hair gloss treatments can actually last longer than permanent color because the color absorbs into the hair and works as a stain. All without opening your hair further (which makes color fade faster), stopping the cycle of coloring more and more to combat fading.
Color Reviving Gloss adds a high-gloss shine shows off all colors in their best light. Everything works together to make your hair look and feel better over time!

Hair Glossing Benefits for Highlighted Hair
- Refresh over-bleached or faded lengths and ends
- Correct yellow tones that make highlights look brassy
- Change or deepen highlights to blend more smoothly with hair color
- Add smoothness and shine
Highlighted hair behaves differently from the rest of your hair because it's been treated differently. For some people, highllights may have been overly bleached, creating too-light streaks throughout the hair. Even highlights that start out flattering will fade over time and begin to look unnaturally light or unflatteringly yellow. That's because natural yellow pigments remain in hair after lightening. Hair color adjusts the color by layering violet and ash tones on top to counteract the yellow. When the color fades from highlighted hair, the yellow begins to show again.
Similar to color-treated hair, strands are already receptive to color, so you can use a hair gloss treatment to correct and maintain the tone that you want. You can choose to either counteract the yellow tones without changing the color of your highlights or move towards a more even, overall color.
Color Reviving Gloss adds high-gloss shine that gives your hair the natural illusion of highlights because it reflects light. Everything works together to make your hair look and feel better over time!
