Your scalp produces natural oils to nourish each strand and add shine, but overwashing strips away these protective oils, leaving your locks dull-looking.
Few products can help restore the shine in your locks, enabling each strand to reflect light more effectively. But for maximum impactful shine you must also implement an ongoing maintenance routine.
Light Enhancing Technology
Light Enhancing Technology, unlike conventional shine-enhancing products such as silicones or sulfates, works from within to sustain long-term hair health and provide radiant shine. This innovative technology combines an optical brightener with a high-gloss emollient that reflects and amplifies light onto each hair strand, producing more natural-looking gloss without heavy ingredients buildup. To preserve the shine-enhancing effects of this spray, try limiting shampooing sessions to twice or three times per week and aim to retain natural oils that protect from dryness and dullness. With its lightweight yet nourishing lemon extract and chamomile formula, this non-peroxide hair lightening mist brightens blonde highlights more quickly, helping extend time between salon visits.
Natural Hair Sprays
Traditional hairsprays provide your locks with that firm hold you crave, yet also contain harmful toxins such as PFAs (polyfluoroalkyl ethers), phthalates, formaldehyde releasers and siloxanes that could enter your lungs daily! By regularly using traditional hairsprays you are actually breathing them directly into your lungs!
Nontoxic hairsprays put your health and the environment first by offering softer finishes that can easily be brushed out. While they don’t provide as strong of a hold as their counterparts do, nontoxic versions still help you achieve natural looking shine that lasts all day long.
These natural hair sprays will keep your style secure while adding shine and moisture. Try mixing essential oils such as cypress, rosemary, ylang ylang or cedarwood for an amazing scent that will make your locks smell incredible!
Long-Lasting Gloss
Hair gloss (commonly known as glaze or semi-permanent coloring) is a non-permanent coloring treatment which coats your locks with shine-enhancing ingredients for more intense shine enhancement. Most often applied at salons for toning or brightening color effects or instant boosts that last 4-6 weeks depending on hair texture and wash frequency, hair gloss can transform dull locks into gorgeous locks with instantaneous shine boosts!
Like traditional dye, hair gloss uses mild chemistry to deposit pigments on the surface of your hair fibers, similar to how traditional dye works. But unlike its predecessor, it does so without ammonia; thus subtly altering existing color by lightening or neutralizing brassy or yellow tones.
Hair polish can also help smooth frizz and flyaways by sealing the cuticle for a silky finish that makes styling and managing easier. A combination of esters and waxes, such as beeswax or carnauba waxes, creates a thick glossy formula that won’t melt or drip, improving spreadability and consistency for better styling and management.
