After the hair is dyed, the strands are depleted, it becomes necessary to carry out their deep restoration. How to restore its former shine and strength? Glazing your hair will help. The procedure is similar to lamination, but differs in that an additional shade can be easily added.
The basis of this service in beauty salons is the use of natural ceramide components. They help make hair more structured and restore natural beauty.
What is hair glazing
The glazing procedure involves the application of a special substance - glaze. Hair gets extra shine and looks healthy. Aftercare becomes easier.
The product that is applied to the strands consists of ceramides and moisturizing components . Depending on the client’s wishes, glazing is performed either with or without color. Another popular option is to change the shade by several tones. In some cases, if the hair is not too damaged, experts recommend applying glaze only to the ends. They become more well-groomed and do not split ends. A nice bonus is the increase in strand volume due to the glazing procedure.
Difference from lamination
Glazing is often confused with hair lamination. They have a similar end result and execution technique, but there are also significant differences :
- The lamination effect is achieved using a film on the surface of the cuticle, covering the nutrients inside. Glazing is based on gluing surface flakes with ceramides.
- Due to the laminating film, the strands become heavier, which is harmful if the procedure is performed frequently. Glazed hairs become a little thicker, but thanks to being filled with necessary substances from the inside.
- Lamination lasts longer on the hair, but is more expensive. Almost always performed in a salon.
Interesting! Using glazing, you can slightly change the shade of your curls.
Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure
Glazing has gained popularity due to many advantages:
- During the procedure, the curls receive moisture.
- It can be done by a professional or independently at home.
- Suitable for hair in any condition, length and color do not matter.
- The hair becomes manageable and shine is noticeable.
- If glazing is preceded by coloring, the color lasts longer.
- The hairstyle becomes less susceptible to the harmful influences of the environment.
- If you want to change the color by a couple of tones, then coloring can be combined with glazing in one procedure.
- Glazing makes the curls straighten a little.
Advice! Glazing is not intended for primary hair straightening. For this purpose, there are other procedures with a strong thermal effect on curls.
Disadvantages of glazing:
- Fragility. A repeat procedure may be required after 2–4 weeks.
- The cuticle receives less oxygen.
- While the composition is in the hair, it cannot be dyed.
- With intact strands that lack shine for other reasons, the effect may be minimal or absent altogether.
- You can do up to 4 procedures in a row.
Price at the master and at home
The price of the service depends on the length of the hair, which affects the amount of materials consumed and the brand of the product. The result of the work of a master can reach 1500–3500 rubles . The cost in this range is affected by the region and the salon's markup.
For home glazing, salon preparations, an oxidizing agent, a conditioner and a mild care shampoo are also purchased. Depending on the manufacturer and the volume of each product, the procedure will cost from 1000 to 5000 rubles.
Before choosing a place for glazing, it is recommended to find out the prices in the salon , take a closer look at store products: the work of a master will not be much more expensive, but the result will be predictable.
Contraindications
Like any chemical procedure, glazing has its contraindications:
- there are wounds or rashes of a bacterial or fungal nature on the scalp;
- curls are prone to severe loss;
- allergy;
- pregnancy and lactation with increased sensitivity of the body to other chemical components.
Benefits of the procedure
The main advantages of this service include not only visual healing of hair, but also the ability to change its color without significant chemical exposure. If your locks are a little naturally frizzy or very porous, this is a great way to tame them and add variety to your everyday look.
In cases where the curls were previously colored, glazing allows you to fix the result. This way the paint will be less exposed to external influences and will retain its brightness longer.
Before and After Glazing Hair
After the procedure, the curls become soft and manageable, making it easy to create complex hairstyles. If fragility and split ends often appear, then this is an excellent prevention. Glazing allows you to maintain the healthy appearance of your ends for a long time without special cosmetics.

- after coloring the curls in order to fix the color
- the hairstyle has dull, nondescript shades, glazing enhances the color scheme
- when you need to protect strands from external influences, both chemical and mechanical
Additionally, it is advisable to do glazing for those who have unruly hair. Sometimes the curls cannot be combed, they get tangled, and in such cases it is simply impossible to do a high-quality styling.
Glazing for hair and its excellent results

Contraindications - who should not do it?
It is recommended to avoid the procedure for people who have pathological hair loss or weakened hair follicles. Sometimes this happens due to frequent staining, improper care, or genetic characteristics. It is better to contact a competent specialist with such a problem. The first thing you need to do is consult a hairdresser at a beauty salon. If there is such a need, visit a dermatologist or attending physician. Perhaps the body simply does not have enough vitamins.
If you have skin diseases, it is better to look for other ways to give your hair a healthy look. If there are scars or various types of damage on the surface of the head, it is advised to postpone the procedure until the epidermis is completely restored.

How does the procedure go (all stages)
Before starting the hair glazing procedure, an experienced hairdresser examines the condition of the hair as a whole. He must determine:
- Is it necessary to apply glaze?
- are there any contraindications
- what chemical influences were the strands previously exposed to?

Next, it is determined what amount of substance will be optimal and where it needs to be applied most. For example, for hair with split ends, a specialist will recommend focusing on them. And if there is not enough volume, then it is better to apply the product at the roots. The procedure program should be tailored to individual characteristics.
The procedure consists of 3 stages:
- Cleansing and moisturizing. This stage allows you to even out the texture of the hairs.
- Restoration of damaged structure. At this stage, strengthening occurs.
- Protection. The top layer protects against damage and gives stunning shine.
If desired, glazing can be done with or without color. If the curls were previously colored, it is recommended to refresh the shade and then fix the effect with glaze. The procedures are carried out using almost the same algorithm. The only difference is the addition of an oxidizing agent to the mixture and different colors to obtain the desired result. As a result of glazing, the color of the strands changes on average by several tones.
Set for screening procedure for damaged hair Estel Q3 THERAPY
Estel
The most popular option for hair glazing is Estel. The procedure is carried out using Estel De Luxe color corrector, which facilitates easy color change and toning of hair. It can be replaced with Estel 00N colorless corrector, which preserves the original shade of the hair.
In addition, a 1.5% activator is used. This component is designed to ensure unhindered flow of dye to the center of the hair. The activator is responsible for color saturation. It should be avoided if there is excessive damage to the strands.
For effective moisturizing, it is necessary to use a chromo-energy complex, which restores the structure, smoothes the cuticle and nourishes the hair. Estel cleansing shampoo is also used in the procedure.
Hair glazing products from Estelle Before applying the composition, hair should be washed with shampoo. To prepare the mixture, the corrector and activator are mixed in a 1:2 ratio, and 5 ampoules of the chromo-energy complex are added. Next, the product is distributed along the length of the hair. The exposure time ranges from 50 minutes to an hour. The product should be washed off with warm water.
The result becomes noticeable from the first procedure. Curls are transformed, gaining a healthy appearance, radiance and elasticity. The strands are restored to their natural beauty. In addition, the hair remains protected for a long time from the negative effects of heat treatments and environmental influences.
Glazing without color
When glazing without color, at the first stage the master thoroughly cleans the curls. Shampoo is used that is suitable for a specific hair type. Next, the strands are dried. In case of severe exhaustion, after washing, an emollient is applied. This evens out the hair structure. Only after this the specialist begins the glazing procedure along the entire length of the strands.
Upon completion, the substance is thoroughly washed off. The balm is applied, the head is covered with a towel and the curls are dried without a hairdryer. On slightly damp curls, the master applies a special stabilizer, which fixes the glaze. Then conditioner is applied from the roots to the ends of the hair.
"Matrix"
Matrix Color Sync tool
“Matrix” glazing is the coating of hair with a special composition that forms a so-called glaze on the surface. The “Matrix Color Sync” product contains a complex of special ceramides that provide hydration, nutrition, structure restoration, and cuticle alignment by smoothing keratin scales. The use of Matrix products allows you to carry out both colorless and colored glazing, give elasticity and shine to your curls, and also correct or emphasize the natural shade.
Application:
- First you need to wash your hair using a clarifying shampoo. Then dry your curls by patting them with a towel.
- Mix Matrix Color Sync paint and Matrix Color Sync Oxydant in a non-metallic bowl. The proportions will be equal.
- Distribute the composition over the surface of the curls. If you carry out the Matrix glazing procedure again, then first apply the product to the roots, and after 10 minutes distribute along the length. The total holding time is 20 minutes (without heating).
- After the exposure time has expired, wash your hair thoroughly with warm water.
The cost of Matrix paint is about 300 rubles. The effect pleases many; almost everyone notes a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their hair.
Glazing with color
The main subtlety is applying the glaze without using heat. On bleached hair, the mixture lasts no more than a quarter of an hour. If you have previously had a permanent perm, then no more than 20 minutes. On previously painted ones, it is recommended to leave the glaze on for 20 minutes to half an hour. For those with natural shades and some gray hair, glazing takes no more than 40 minutes.
If a lamp is used, the procedure time can be reduced by approximately one and a half times.
How to care for your hair after the procedure
After visiting a salon or applying glaze at home, you need to choose a softening shampoo. If glazing using color was used, shampoo is needed for damaged strands. The ideal option would be to buy baby shampoo or cosmetics based exclusively on natural ingredients.

Experts advise not to apply masks or cleansing shampoos to your hair for at least several weeks after applying the glaze. Air conditioners are also prohibited.
Since the curls will already be smooth and manageable, there is no need to use gels and varnishes; moreover, they can harm the applied glaze.
Hair glaze and coloring
Like lamination, hair glazing can be colorless or tinted. The procedure just helps the pigment to take hold, so it is good to do it after the coloring procedure. Additionally, special care will help to fix and maintain the brightness of the color.
Try the “Clover” shampoo and balm from the “Clean Line” brand for colored hair with a herbal infusion and clover extract. Their formula with a phytokeratin complex forms an invisible film on the hair to protect color and gives root volume to the strands.

Periodically you need to give rest. Glazing can be done a maximum of 3-4 times in a row. From time to time, you can glaze the ends of your hair at home. During breaks, it is recommended to use various masks with restorative properties and saturate the hair structure with vitamins and nutrients.
