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?
Hair glazing is primarily aimed at restoring your hair and adding shine to it. Many will agree that one of the main signs of healthy hair is its natural shine. And achieving instant shine in your hair is only possible with the help of a magical procedure - hair glazing.
The essence of the procedure is to cover the hair with a special healing glaze, which restores it, gives strength and shine. This procedure is completely safe and has no contraindications. The hair glazing procedure is also called lamination. After all, immediately after the procedure, your hair will look as if it had just been firmly laminated.
How is hair glazing done?
Glazing hair is not a complicated procedure and is performed quite quickly. Usually, before any other procedure, you need to carefully prepare your hair, but here everything is not much simpler. It doesn’t matter whether your hair is washed or not, the hair glazing procedure will work on absolutely any hair.
To begin with, a special glaze is applied in layers to your beautiful hair. It contains useful ceramides that are responsible for adding shine to your hair. The product is applied both to the entire length and to some sections of the hair. It is not recommended to apply glaze to the hair roots.
Then you need to give your hair time to completely saturate it. For 0.5 hours, your hair will have to be wrapped in foil or in a swimming cap. Then, after time has passed, the hair is simply washed thoroughly with shampoo. And that’s it – now your hair will be shiny and beautiful for a long time!
It is also worth noting that the hair glazing product does not contain harmful substances and is absolutely safe for everyone.
Differences from lamination
In general, both lamination and glazing have the same goal - to cover the hair scales, which will make them shiny and smooth. But how do these methods differ?
- First of all, the composition of the substances used for this. For lamination, plant extracts are used, for example, grape seeds or chamomile flowers. In the case of glazing, ceramides are used to strengthen the hair structure from the inside.
- When laminating, only colorless dye is always used, while glazing allows you to change the color of the hairstyle.
Lamination is always done along the entire length of the hair. Glazing can be applied only to the tips, preventing them from splitting.
We invite you to watch a video about how the hair lamination procedure differs from the glazing procedure:
Why do you need a hair glazing procedure?
The need for a glazing procedure depends on the condition and health of your hair. If your hair has lost its natural shine and strength with age, then you probably want it back. Nowadays, many ways have been invented to improve the condition and appearance of hair. But to this day, hair glazing remains the safest of all.
So, we have found out that glazing your hair is necessary to create a beautiful shiny appearance of your hairstyle. But for some, glazing is simply necessary to improve hair health. Let's find out who needs hair glazing first.
Indications for use of the hair glazing procedure:
- If you have thin and brittle hair;
- If you have gray hair;
- If your hair starts to fall out;
- If you have split ends in your hair;
- If your hair constantly gets tangled;
- If the hair has lost its natural shine;
- If you live in polluted areas of the city.
Yes, if you can apply at least one of these points to yourself, then you urgently need hair glazing! It will easily correct the entire hair health situation in your favor. Already after the first procedure, a noticeable result will be visible, which will undoubtedly please you.
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.
Types and methods of glazing hair
Hair glazing includes two directions: colorless and colored. There is also a separate third direction - silk glazing of hair. When color glazing, in addition to a special glaze to cover the hair, tinted shampoos and an oxidizing agent are used. For colorless hair glazing, only glaze is used.
If everything is clear with the first two, then it is the third direction of hair glazing that is especially interesting. This glazing method gives the hair the strongest shine and lasting results. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that particles and, most importantly, the protein of real silk are added to the mixture for the procedure. In this case, you will be able to achieve the most natural result.

Glazing of Kaaral is carried out using Baco Silk Glaze. The product contains silk hydrolyzate. This component easily penetrates the base of the hair and promotes its restoration. The necessary nutrition and hydration of the hair occurs.

Advantages of hair glazing procedure
- Hair glazing product is absolutely harmless. It does not contain ammonia, poisons or other harmful substances.
- The procedure does not weigh down the hair, leaving it light and full.
- The glaze leaves behind the effect of renewed hair. If you resort to the glazing procedure, then you will probably no longer need regular hair dye. After all, the product used in hair glazing perfectly maintains the color, which allows it not to be renewed for a long time.
- Your hair will gain healthy shine and strength.
- Another advantage of hair glazing is its restorative healing effect and instant results. Immediately after the procedure, your hair will look much better!
Disadvantages and contraindications of the hair glazing procedure:
Hair glazing has no special contraindications; it is a completely safe and harmless procedure. But it is not recommended for use by those who have open wounds on the scalp. It is advisable to first heal all wounds and cuts on the head, and then turn to glazing the hair.
Also, if your hair is falling out a lot, we would not recommend glazing your hair during the recovery period. The disadvantages of the procedure include the fact that the effect is not permanent. Every few weeks you will have to update the result and resort to glazing your hair again. After the hair treatment, you are prohibited from dyeing your hair for some time. For some, this is also a minus.
Cost of hair glazing procedure
The price of hair glazing is not high. On average, it varies from 700 to 2000 rubles. It all depends on the status of the salon and the qualifications of the specialist who will perform the procedure for you. Also, the price may vary depending on the length of your hair and the chosen method of hair glazing (colorless, colored, silk).
The most inexpensive option for hair glazing is to carry out the procedure yourself at home. It is not difficult and does not take much time, and all the ingredients for this procedure are not expensive.
Who is the procedure indicated for?
The main indications for hair glazing include weak hair structure and split ends. In some cases, I recommend the procedure to get rid of gray hair. Experts advise applying glaze to curls also in the following situations:
- 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 your hair yourself at home:
The main advantage of home hair glazing is a significant saving of money and time spent on the procedure. By just spending once on products to create a special glaze, you will provide yourself with a mixture for ten to twelve such hair glazing procedures. The fact of good savings here is obvious.
Let's start with the fact that the mixture for home hair glazing can be purchased either in a specialized store or prepared yourself.
Recipe for a mixture for self-glazing hair:
Ingredients:
Gelatin;
Plain water;
Olive oil;
Sunflower oil;
Apple vinegar.
Cooking method:
Dissolve ten grams of gelatin in hot water until completely dissolved. To the resulting mixture add one tablespoon each of olive and sunflower oil. Finally, add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to everything and our glaze is ready! Once this mixture has cooled, you can safely apply it to your hair. In the future, everything happens the same as in the salon. You wait 30 minutes and rinse the glaze from your hair, enjoying the result.
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.
Do I need special hair care after glazing?
No, there is no special hair care after the glazing procedure. We can only advise you: rinse your hair thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner and dry your hair.
It is worth remembering that after glazing your hair, you should not dye it for some time. If you break this rule, you will be upset that the dye simply won’t stick to your hair.
Our hair requires some care. Therefore, if you decide to glaze your hair and are satisfied with the result, then still do not forget about basic care for your hair. And in return, they will decorate you with their healthy and attractive appearance!
Care rules to maintain results
After the procedure, you should adhere to the following rules:
For the first 12 hours after glazing, you should not wash your hair with shampoo, even if your hair feels greasy and dirty. During this time, the effect will be consolidated, and you will be able to go longer with strong and healthy hair.- Shampoo should be used no more than 2 times a week.
- For washing, use shampoos that do not contain aggressive chemical components.
- Cosmetics should also be free of aggressive impurities.
- Hair coated with glaze should not be dyed or highlighted. If you want to change the color of your curls, it is advisable to do this before glazing or use a glaze with color.
- Glazed strands do not like styling products, so it is advisable to reduce their use to a minimum.
