“Hair glosses seal and smooth the cuticle layer for a glossy, shampoo-commercial finish,” according to New York City hairstylist Devin Toth.
Clear glosses work great on any hair color while tinted ones like dpHUE Gloss+ provide semi-permanent dye that may wash out with each wash and may fade when using heat styling tools. However, keep in mind that demi-permanent hues tend to wash away with each wash cycle and fade gradually when heat styling tools are used.
