I'm a very firm believer in the DIY approach, especially when it comes to my beauty routine. Trimming my own bangs? Check. Press-on nails? Ofc. Dyeing my eyebrows? You know it.Which is why I headed to Sephora the second I discovered DIY hair glossing kits exist—and they've been my favorite little beauty secret ever since.
For those whose feeds aren't filled with tress trends, allow me to introduce you: Hair gloss is a temporary color and body boost that lasts about eight to 10 washes (say hi to a nourishing, shine-ifying, in-between-hair-appointments treatment). And the fact you can do it from the comfort of your own bathroom? Even better.
"A hair gloss is a demi-permanent treatment that deposits tone [think: dye that sits on top of strands instead of sinking in] and seals the cuticle to temporarily smooth hair," says master colorist Tiffanie Richards.
So if you want to make your mane more manageable, intensify your color and have locks with luster, here's my strand superhero that makes the hard work of amazing hair easy.
WHAT'S IN A GLOSS?
"At-home hair glossing kits can either be conditioners with color added or a formula that needs to be mixed," explains colorist Lorena Valdes. Choosing a glossing kit close to your natural shade will give your hair added dimension and impart a healthy, luxe luster.
"Like the box dye you see on drug-store shelves, these hair glossing kits include the liquid product and a developer (aka a compound that works with your hair to absorb the product), says Valdes. You will need to mix the two before applying to your hair."
