Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Gloss / Root Smudge.
A gloss/root smudge refreshes tone and blends roots without full re-colouring. Gloss adds shine and subtle tone correction; root smudge softens regrowth lines with colour blending. Both are quicker, less damaging and ideal between full colour services to maintain look and health.
Typically between twenty and forty-five minutes depending on hair length, density and whether a gloss, root smudge or both are performed. Your stylist will assess needs first; more extensive toning or processing may extend time slightly.
Yes, but subtly. A gloss deposits translucent pigment to refresh tone and add sheen; a root smudge blends regrowth into existing shade. Neither dramatically lightens hair—both enhance or neutralise tones rather than completely changing your base colour.
A gloss usually lasts four to six weeks depending on hair porosity and product choice; a root smudge can last similar time but may appear softer as hair grows. Use gentle shampoos and colour-safe products to extend longevity.
Generally yes. Gloss formulas are formulated to be gentle and can enhance colour on chemically treated hair, while root smudges blend regrowth safely. Always inform your stylist about previous treatments so they can choose the appropriate products and timing.
Absolutely. Many clients book glosses or root smudges between full colour appointments to refresh tone, add shine and soften regrowth. They’re quick, cost-effective touch-ups that help prolong salon colour results and maintain a polished finish.
