Let’s start with the basics. A hair gloss is a professional hair color service that is offered in a salon, like Beehive Hair Studio. These types of services are often executed by stylists as a way to tone, color-correct or add shine to the hair. As these glosses are a form of demi-permanent hair color, they are made up of a mix of both oxidative and direct dyes. Combined, this dynamic duo allows you to flirt with a new hair color without fully committing to it.
WHAT IS DEMI-PERMANENT HAIRCOLOR?
With this type of hair color, the name says it all. Demi-permanent hair color is a form of non-permanent color that gradually fades over the course of a few weeks. This type of hair color is perfect for those who don’t want harsh root regrowth, are looking to try out a new hair color, or who are interested in coloring their hair for the first time. As hair glosses are a gentler form of hair color, they are a great way to change up your look without the total commitment. Like adding gloss to your lips, hair glosses can do the same thing for your hair. They boost the color while adding shine.
WHAT MAKES REDKEN SHADES EQ DIFFERENT FROM OTHER HAIR GLOSSES?
Redken Shades EQ isn’t your run-of-the-mill hair gloss. In fact, it’s a hair color that thinks it’s a conditioner. Here are five ways that Shades EQ sets itself apart.
NO AMMONIA: Shades EQ is formulated without ammonia, so you won’t have to deal with any overpowering smell or any discomfort while the color processes.
ADDS SHINE: Have we mentioned just how glossy your hair will be after a Shades EQ hair gloss service? The formula is infused with wheat amino acids that help to condition the hair and leave it looking super shiny.
COLOR CORRECTING HAIR COLOR: It’s time to kiss brassy ends and regrown roots goodbye! Any type of discoloration or fading is immediately corrected after a Shades EQ service. Once applied to the hair, the formula gently blends and tones the hair to create a gorgeous finish.
TAKES ONLY 20 MINUTES: You read that right. Shades EQ only takes 20 minutes to process once it’s applied. It’s a quick, easy service for those who want gorgeous hair color in an instant.
WHY SHOULD I GET A HAIR GLOSS?
Do you like glossy, shiny hair that looks like it has been #blessed by the hair gods? A hair gloss service might be exactly what you need. Not only do these speedy services act as a final touch to any permanent hair color service, but they can also stand alone as an instant fix for dull, discolored hair. What’s not to love? Think of all the times that you have spent staring in the mirror wishing for a quick hair pick-me-up; a little toning here, a little boost in shine there. For those days (and every other day), a Shades EQ gloss service is the answer for instant hair goals.
HOW DOES A HAIR GLOSS WORK?
After your initial consultation, your Beehive stylist will head to the color bar to whip up a custom hair gloss just for you. The gloss that your stylist mixes will be formulated to meet the color needs that you both discussed. After the color is mixed, the stylist will apply the gloss to your dry hair, let the color process (aka absorb) for 20 minutes, and then rinse. Be sure to have your phone ready – you’re going to need a picture of your fabulous new look!
HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO GET A TOUCH-UP?
A Shades EQ hair gloss service lasts for 6 to 8 shampoos. Since it’s a gloss, you don’t need to worry about visible regrowth, but will need to revisit your stylist to get a fresh application.
