Prep is Key
Before diving into the process, proper preparation is crucial for ensuring the best outcome. Begin by washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo. This
step is designed to remove any product buildup. Next, gently towel-dry your hair. You should not completely dry your hair at this stage. It should be damp but not dripping. This will ensure that your hair is ready to absorb the product effectively. This initial preparation lays the groundwork for the treatment to work its magic and helps to get that desired sleek finish.
Apply the Gloss
With your hair prepped and ready, the next step involves applying the acidic color gloss. Start by sectioning your hair. The sectioning ensures that the product is distributed evenly. Apply the gloss from root to tip, making sure to saturate each strand. Focus on full coverage for a consistent shine. After application, gently massage the product into your hair. This process allows the gloss to penetrate the hair shaft. Allow the gloss to process. The processing time is an essential aspect of the procedure, which is specified in the product instructions. Adhering to the processing time provided is the right approach.
Rinse and Style
Following the processing time, the next step involves rinsing. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water until all traces of the gloss are gone. Ensuring that the gloss is completely rinsed out is important for the final look. Once rinsed, your hair should feel different. You will then style your hair. Using a hair dryer and a round brush, start by blow-drying your hair. This is crucial for creating that smooth finish. As you blow-dry, carefully section your hair and use the brush to pull each section taut. For added smoothness, consider using a flat iron. The heat from the flat iron helps to further refine your hair and to give it that iconic glass hair look.
