1. What is hair glossing and why is it beneficial?
Hair glossing is a popular treatment designed to boost your hair's shine and vibrancy. When hair is damaged, its cuticles lift, causing it to reflect light poorly and appear dull. The L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss at-home glossing routine is designed to counteract this by resurfacing the hair fibre and sealing the cuticles, resulting in intensely shiny, smooth, and healthy-looking hair.
2. How does Glycolic Acid work on hair?
Known as the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), Glycolic Acid is able to penetrate the hair fibre. Our Glycolic Gloss complex with Glycolic Acid laminates the cuticles and improves hair quality for glossy hair that lasts.
3. What is hair lamination and how does the Glycolic Gloss routine work?
Hair lamination creates an intense, long-lasting shine. Thanks to its unique pH, our formula, featured in the Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination Rinse-Off, laminates the cuticle to ensure smoothness and promote long-lasting shine, in just five minutes.
4. Why is the L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss so different?
