The Ultimate Guide to Supergloss: What It Is and How to Use It

If you're looking for a way to give your hair an extra boost of shine and vibrancy, hair gloss might just be your new best friend. Whether you're a haircare newbie or a seasoned pro, understanding what hair gloss is and how to use it can make a world of difference in achieving a head tuning finish that will help you shine from the inside out.

What is Supergloss?

Supergloss is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances the shine, smoothness, and overall appearance of your hair. Unlike permanent hair dye, Supergloss gently coats the hair without penetrating the hair shaft deeply, which means it gradually washes out over time.

Key Benefits:

1. Adds Shine: One of the most noticeable effects of a hair gloss treatment is the incredible shine it imparts to your hair. It smooths the hair cuticle, making your strands reflect light beautifully.

2. Enhances Color: Whether you have natural or color-treated hair, a tinted gloss can subtly boost and refresh your color, making it look more vibrant and rich.

3. Conditions Hair: Gloss treatments often contain conditioning ingredients that leave your hair feeling softer and healthier.

4. Reduces Frizz: By smoothing the hair cuticle, hair gloss helps to reduce frizz and flyaways, giving you a sleek and polished look.

Types of Supergloss:

Hair gloss comes in three main varieties: clear, coloured and toning. 

1. Sheer Glow:

• Purpose: Adds shine and smoothness without altering your hair color.

• Ideal For: All hair types and colors. Perfect for those who want to boost shine without changing their hair color.

2. Colored Conditioning Gloss:

• Purpose: Enhances or refreshes your hair color while adding shine.

• Ideal For: Natural Virgin or color-treated hair that needs a little color boost or some subtle enhancement. Our colored glosses should not be used on bleached hair.

3. Toning Conditioning Gloss:

• Purpose: Tones bleached or natural hair to remove unwanted colours and brighten blondes.

• Ideal For: Bleached hair that needs refreshing between salon visits.   

How to Use:

Using hair gloss is a straightforward process, but to get the best results, follow these steps:

1. Choose the Right Product:

   • Decide whether you need a clear, tinted or toning gloss based on your hair needs.

   • Select a gloss that matches or complements your hair color if you opt for a tinted version and avoid tinted colors if you have bleach in your hair. For toners, decide which tones you wish to remove from your hair, blue toners will counteract oranges while purple toners will work to remove yellow undertones from the hair.

2. Prepare Your Hair:

   • Start with clean, towel-dried hair. Gloss can be applied to dry hair, but damp hair is generally preferred.

3. Application:
   

   • Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections to ensure even application.

   • Apply the Gloss: Apply the gloss evenly from roots to ends. A brush or your fingers can be used to work the product through your hair.

4. Processing Time:
   • Let the gloss sit for 10 minutes. This allows the product to fully penetrate and work its magic
     
     
5. Rinse and Condition:
   
   • Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water to help seal the cuticle and lock in the shine..
     
     
6. Style as Usual:
   
   • After rinsing out the gloss, style your hair as you normally would. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in shine and smoothness.
