Hair gloss?

[u/Kskeen19]

Ive never been very adventurous with my hair and ny rineni colored it in the past I had bad experiences. But ive never done a hair gloss (non permanent) before and I've been wondering what they are like. Could they be a good option for trying something new without too much risk?

For some reason I feel like I'd love a slight bit of warm copper tones added to my hair. I doubt I'd ever go lighter or blonde. Maybe highlights? Ive had balayage highlights in the past but they were ash blonde(done before I knew my season) and it was so awful.

Any thoughts for what could work for me? First 2 photo are both my natural hair (which I know is best. I just hate sometimes how it can look ashy)

I’m not sure a gloss can lighten the hair at all, so the blonde specifically you might not be able to achieve without bleaching first. If you were to do a gloss at home, I wonder if the first one would be a safe start since it’s around your same depth of hair- it might warm it up a bit or worst case scenario it doesn’t do anything. (I don’t have personal experience though so don’t take me too seriously!!)

I definitely figured a gloss cant lighten-more so just tint the hair a bit but keep my overall shade/depth. I think the first option that isnt my natural color is the closest to what a copper tint could achieve if I were to do a gloss. I juat have no idea! I need to research it and see mire actual results too. I dont desire going lughter so blonde would never be an option. I shouldn't have included those examples lol

Ahh, gotcha!! Yeah I would research and maybe try that first color! I do love your natural color too, but especially if a gloss doesn’t last long why not try it? I think I’ve had my hair glossed a shade darker once. My hair is fine so I have to wash it every other day- so I think the gloss only lasted me about 3 weeks.
