Q. What are the benefits of a hair gloss treatment and for what type of hair is it appropriate? Lianet Alonso; Hialeaj, FL
A. Most salons offer gloss treatments (in which a clear gloss is applied to the strands to boost shine) for hair that’s lost its luster. One of the best things about a gloss is that it’s a quick service that your stylist can apply right after shampooing. If your hair is looking kind of dull—due to hard water or well water, heat styling or just too much sun—this service is perfectly appropriate for you. And, if you color, going for a gloss between single process and/or highlight appointments will not just enhance your hair’s sheen, but its hue as well!

my hai is often fullest after it’s had a day at the beach…what can i do to achieve these results when i’m landlocked?
Good news! Your go-to product is appropriately named Beach Spray by Bumble and Bumble. It’s a salt-infused, volumizing spritz that replicates that ‘wind blown wave’ effect and yet, still provides a healthy dose of moisture for your locks. You’ll be rockin your desired surf-style in no time, without ever leaving dry land.
I HAVE DARK BROWN HAIR AND I’M GOING WHITE…NOT GRAY BUT WHITE. I’VE DECIDED AT 60 TO QUIT COLORING MY HAIR BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE IT HAS DONE. WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY HAIR LOOK HEALTHY AND NOT JUST A MOUSEY BROWN WHILE THE OLD COLOR GROWS OUT?
