TikTok has become the go-to platform for all things hair and beauty, but if you don’t want to spend your evening endlessly scrolling through video reviews of hair products, don’t worry, ‘cos we’ve done the hard work for you.

With 27.1 million views, hair glazing is very much on everyone’s lips… and hair! So what’s the fuss about hair glazing and why is TikTok ablaze with this hair trend?

Well, first off – what is a colour glaze hair treatment? Hair glazing is the process of applying a moisturising product to your hair that adds shine, hydration and colour to your tresses. Hair glazing products come in two versions: with added colour boost, or clear.

Go for the coloured hair glazes if you want to boost your current hair colour, but remember, glazes are not dyes! This means you should never pick coloured glazes too many shades away from your current colour. Just want the shine? Then opt for the colourless product. 

But what’s the difference between a gloss vs glaze for hair? Glazes are completely ammonia and peroxide free, adding moisture and colour by coating the hair rather than penetrating into the hair shaft. Glosses, on the other hand, are more like hair toners and contain some ammonia which helps the colour penetrate the hair for a more lasting colour, all while adding shine. This makes hair glazes the perfect products if you want to shine and revive your hair without causing any damage.

So, whether you want to enhance your hair colour or seek an instant hydration boost that’ll get your hair looking salon-style shiny, reach out for any of these top hair glazes:
