There are many hair treatments available in salons today. Two of the most popular treatments are gloss hair treatment and glaze hair treatment. So, what is the difference between the two?

Gloss Hair Treatment

A gloss treatment penetrates the hair's cuticle and gives the hair two to four weeks of shine and smoothness. It is usually done with a clear or tinted gloss applied to the hair and then rinsed out. It's different from hair dye and can help with your hair's health. While dye can lead to dryness, gloss treatment adds shine and can be done as a stand-alone, semi-permanent treatment or as part of another hair service, such as coloring or highlights.

Glaze hair treatment

Glaze hair treatment simply coats the shaft with shine and semi-permanent color; it's like adding a top coat of polish to your hair, and it lasts a week or two. A glaze can be applied to any hair color, but it is often done after highlights or single-process color to add extra shine and dimension. It can also be used to enhance or change the tone of your hair color.
