Every girl wants to look attractive. The basis of femininity and beauty, as you know, are well-groomed and he althy hair. However, the modern rhythm of life, frequent styling, the destructive effects of the environment often harm curls, making them dry, dull and lifeless. The beauty industry offers a variety of products for both hair care and treatment. One of these products is glaze, which provides a sufficiently long-lasting effect, which can be achieved not only in the salon, but also at home.
What is glazing
Glazing or glazing hair is one of the lamination options. During this procedure, a special agent is applied to the hair - glaze, which gives them shine and a he althy look. The composition of the product includes ceramides and moisturizing ingredients. Glazing can be either colored or colorless. Colored glaze can change shade by one or two tones. If the hair does not need full glazing, then the product can be applied only to the damaged ends of the hair. This procedure is considered purely decorative, to give the hair volume and shine.
The glazing process is somewhat similar to dyeing, while its composition does not contain ammonia and does not cause allergies, but it stays in the hair for a long time.
The reviews about hair glazing are mostly positive, in addition, the cost of the procedure is quite affordable for everyone, and if necessary, it can also be done at home.
The principle of action on the hair
According to the principle of action on the hairs, the glazing procedure is somewhat similar to lamination, except that no film is created on the hair, and the surface layer of the cuticle is filled with special substances - ceramides. Ceramides are special lipid molecules capable of filling voids in porous and damaged hairs, sealing the scales and giving smoothness and elasticity to the hair.
Often, the glazing compound is applied to the hair in several layers so that it is gradually absorbed, after which the excess is washed off. Such a procedure does not give a therapeutic result, but it allows you to give your hair a he althy look and, moreover, to protect them as much as possible from harmful external influences: temperature changes, dry air, ultraviolet radiation.
Nutritious components that the hairs were filled with during the glazing process are washed off the hair gradually, and after a while the procedure must be repeated. The effect lasts up to 3-4 weeks and can be extended by proper care of glazed hair.

Modern hair glazing has several varieties. Procedures of different types differ from each other in the composition of the drug and some stages of the implementation, moreover, they are able to provide a different effect.
The main types of glazing are:
- colorless;
- color;
- silk.
Colorless glazing allows you to give your hair an intense shine and provide them with a he althy, well-groomed appearance. In addition, with colorless glazing, the dye is securely fixed if the procedure is carried out on dyed hair, and natural hair becomes brighter.
Color glazing allows you not only to make your hair shiny, but also to change their color by several shades, and even reliably hide a slight gray hair. With this type of procedure, a hair dye is also added to the glaze (it is possible to use both one tone and a mixture of colors) and an oxidizing agent for paint. Reviews of colored hair glazing confirm the desired shade and shine, as well as the complete painting of gray hair.
Depending on the currentthe condition of the hair, their original color and the desired effect, the composition is kept from 15 minutes (bleached hair) to 40 minutes (when painting over gray hair). It is possible to reduce this time to two times if heat is applied, for example, a hair dryer or a Climazone lamp.
Silk hair glazing is the newest type of procedure that can restore hairs after various kinds of damage. It is silk glazing that is used on overdried hair with irons or dyes, as well as in case of serious damage to their structure. This procedure makes the hair smooth and manageable, giving it a he althy and radiant look for a while.
Most girls leave rave reviews for silk hair glazing, especially after applying it to overdried bleached strands.
Steps of the procedure
Before resorting to hair glazing in the salon, the master carefully examines the condition of the client's curls, their original length and thickness, the presence of split ends, color (natural or dyed), the presence of curls and discoloration. From such parameters directly depends on what kind of tool will be used for the procedure and in what quantity it will be required. In addition, the result of the procedure directly depends on the initial state of the hair.

- Drying hair and, if necessary,(for example, with weakened and thinned curls) their treatment with a special emollient that evens out the structure. It will prepare the hairs for applying the glaze.
- Applying the glazing composition to the entire length or to damaged areas of the hair, for example, to the tips. In color glazing, hair dye and an oxidizing agent are also mixed into the glaze.
- Keeping the composition for the required time (15-40 minutes).
- Washing off the product with running water without the use of shampoos, masks and conditioners.

Deep cleaning shampoos after glazing should be discarded, as well as all kinds of masks and conditioners. Styling products also lead to the rapid disappearance of glazing results, so it is worth using them after the procedure in a minimal amount.
According to hair glazing reviews, the effect of shine, smoothness and manageability lasts from two to eight weeks anddirectly depends on the care of the hair.
After the composition is completely washed out, the hair returns to its original state, and the procedure should be repeated.

With constant and continuous glazing, the hairs can become greasy and heavy, and the hairstyle will look untidy.
How to make at home
Hair glazing is quite possible to do on your own at home, as the procedure does not require special skills in hairdressing. The choice of agent is primarily based on the desired effect (colored, colorless, silk glazing).
