In recent months we have learned several lessons, some that will change our lives, others that will only make it easier. And precisely not depending so much on visits to the beauty salon can be one of the last. Yes, because who has time to spend 2 or 3 hours in the salon every few weeks? Neither time nor desire.
So, there are those who have taken advantage of to perfect their homemade dyes and others who, although they prefer to leave their hair in professional hands, prefer to space the visits to the salon, thus also saving a few euros. For them, a hair trend has arrived that we cannot like more: gloss smudging , we tell you everything you need to know.
Discover the new way to bring your roots to the air without being noticed: gloss smudging
Perhaps the literal translation of the name of this new trend, something like 'stained shine', does not tell us much, but as soon as we explain what it consists of, you will make it your new mantra. Gloss smudging is nothing more than turning the roots into a transition zone from your natural hair color to the one you want to wear in the rest of your hair. In this way, when the hair grows, a horrible straight cut is not noticeable as it usually happens with a normal dye or classic highlights.
Although colors such as balayage or babylights already played with this gradient effect, they did so throughout the hair while here, it does not matter if you want the color of the tips to be lighter or exactly the same as the rest because the key is solely and exclusively at the root. With some examples made by our beloved Juan Diego Teo, from Tacha Beauty, you will understand it better.
- What hair colors is best? We usually see this type of trend more in brown hair that goes to blonde and the truth is that it is still a trend. However, nothing prevents doing the same in other hair colors even with fantasy ones. So, don't hesitate, the best way to space your visits to the hair salon without making you look terrible is by asking for a gloss smudging.
