For best results and ideal application, you first need to identify the lightest shade of your hair. For example, if you have vivid highlights or streaks on blonde hair, use a blonde hair gloss. A blonde hair gloss is also recommended if you have black hair and blonde highlights, as it refreshes your highlight and provides shine on your black hair If you would like to refresh mainly brown hair, you can use a brown hair gloss. In that case, your highlight may become slightly darker and bluish. If your highlights become too dark, stop using this blonde hair gloss. Then wash hair with your regular shampoo or a clarifying shampoo. The colour deposit from the gloss will wash out over time if you discontinue use.
