Has your colour lost its shine? Maybe your blonde has turned brassy or your brunette looks flat. Before booking a full colour, it is worth knowing that a gloss or toner is often all your hair needs.
Our colourists in Evesham and Pershore explain what fades colour, the difference between a gloss and a toner, and when it is time for something more.
1. What Makes Colour Fade?
-
Washing too often, especially with hot water
-
Sun exposure and heat styling without protection
-
Hard water and chlorine, which can leave tones brassy or dull
-
Shampoos that are not designed for coloured hair
Fading is normal, but the good news is that tone and shine are easy to bring back.
2. Gloss vs Toner: What Is the Difference?
A toner (£27) adjusts the tone of your colour. It is ideal for blondes and lightened hair that has turned yellow or brassy, bringing it back to a cleaner, cooler or softer shade.
A gloss (£32) adds shine and a sheer veil of colour. It refreshes faded tones, smooths the surface of the hair and makes any shade, blonde or brunette, look healthier and more reflective.
Your colourist will tell you which one suits your hair at your appointment.
3. How Long Does It Last?
Most clients find a gloss or toner lasts around four to six weeks, depending on how often you wash your hair and the products you use. Booking one between colour appointments keeps your colour looking fresh for longer.
4. Add a Joico Treatment for £12
Pair your gloss or toner with a Joico treatment this October for just £12. It helps repair and strengthen the hair so your refreshed colour looks even shinier.
5. When Is It Time for Colour?
A gloss or toner refreshes what is already there. If you have noticeable regrowth, want to go lighter or darker, or want to change your look, a colour appointment is the better option. Not sure? Ask for a free consultation and we will advise you honestly.
