If you want your locks to gleam like new mirrors, adding a gloss treatment during your next salon visit could make all the difference in extending color, covering greys, and giving your hair an overall healthier boost.
Permanent color can have damaging side-effects on hair cuticles that open more readily with permanent color applications, while hair glazes offer less damaging results due to opening them less widely. Furthermore, the best hair glazes work on all textures and shades of hair.
1. Revlon Professional Nutri Color Filter
Nutri Color Filter is an nourishing hair colour cream designed to offer three essential benefits in one product. Packed with AHA fruit acids, grape seed oil and an array of ionic pigments – like AHA fruit acids and grape seed oil – its non-damaging formula will soften and hydrate hair fibres while helping retain color intensity between salon visits. With no ammonia or peroxide present and enough cream for 10-15 applications; not to mention its pH rating of 4.0-4.5 and lovely floral scent; Nutri Color Filter will never disappoint.
Its unique 3-IN-1 INSTA-PIC Technology delivers direct intense color, care and shine for a multi-chromatic effect. PANTHENOL nourishes and moisturizes hair while the advanced Conditioning System smooths and seals cuticles for healthy and shiny results.

Mist form makes this product easy to apply, perfect for creating sleek ponytails or buns. This drugstore oil also features a dry finish to avoid weighing down thick or long locks; argan oil adds healthy-looking sheen.
