If you’re a natural redhead, you might be longing to enhance your style a little bit. Most redheads don’t want to dye their hair and feel like they don’t have many options when it comes to elevating their look. A great way to keep your natural color but give your hair some extra shine and dimension is a hair gloss! We featured 8 of our favorites in this post and we’re back with more:
Let’s refresh! What is hair gloss?
Hair gloss is a treatment that adds shine and enhances the vibrancy of hair. Glosses can typically be applied at home in the shower. There are also glosses that can be applied by a stylist in a salon. They are great for enhancing your natural color and adding dimension and shine as well as treating fading red hair both dyed and natural.
Is it a hair dye?
No hair gloss is no hair dye. It’s more like a deep conditioning treatment that helps with vibrancy, smoothing, and enhanced color.
Can natural redheads do this?
Yes, in fact, hair glosses are usually recommended for natural redheads because it can increase the vibrancy of your natural red hair without roots or dye!
Are hair glosses permanent?
Hair gloss is semi-permanent which means it’s perfect for those who just want to amp up their look a little without making a drastic change. Hair glosses usually last about 2-4 weeks.
