Gloss, Glaze, which is which?

With working at a salon, I've learned the difference between glosses and glazes, a huge misconception! A gloss is a bit more permanent than a glaze. It adds shine and adjusts the tone like if your highlights are too bright/brassy, a gloss will subdue them. A gloss penetrates the hair's cuticle, so it lasts two to four weeks. A glaze, on the other hand, simply coats the shaft with shine and semipermanent color; it's like putting a top coat of polish on your hair, and it lasts a week or two. 

If you want just shine, look for a "clear" gloss or glaze (like Frédéric Fekkai Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse, $28 at Ulta). If you're looking to boost your color or bump up your highlights, choose a gloss or glaze with "semipermanent" color (like John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze, $10 at Target).  I've used the Fekkai Salon Glaze and it was amazing but only lasted a couple weeks. I'm about to use the John Frieda Glaze once I get my blonde high lights back!
