STOP GLOSS
At home haircare steps further into salon territory.
If you're used to dyeing at a salon, you know the drill:
Wash the hair.
Color the hair.
Dry the hair.
Gloss the hair.
And it's that fourth crucial step that helps with everything - sealing the color inside the hair's cuticle, enhancing shine, taming damage, and adding a silken feel to your locks.
But a good gloss takes time, not to mention more money. So the trusty women at L'Oreal have invented something new: a gloss you can do at home, whenever you want, in about 30 minutes.
Called L'Oreal Shine Gloss, the product gets applied like at-home-hair-dye, complete with a little brush, a shower cap, and copious (but obvious) instructions. Go step by step with L'Oreal's pamphlet, and in about 30 minutes, you'll get a thick coat of shine - without leaving your bathroom. Just think of all the Glee you'll get to catch up on when your salon time gets cut in half...
