At-home salon hair gloss? Say less.
You know that feeling - the freshly coloured, ultra-glossy, "I just spent $$$ at the salon" hair that makes you feel like you're walking in slow motion everywhere you go? Yeah. Same.
But between salon appointments (and, let’s be real, in this economy), I’ve been on the hunt for at-home glossing treatments that actually work. TikTok got the ball rolling thanks to Hailey Bieber, and I dove head-first into the world of DIY hair glosses to see what’s worth your time and your coins.
So here it is — my Top 5 At-Home Hair Glosses, now listed from lowest to highest price. Whether you’re blonde, brunette, curly, fine, or somewhere in between, there’s something here for every hair type and budget.
L’Oréal Elvive Glycolic Gloss ($30 AUD)
This one is everywhere right now and for good reason. Powered by glycolic acid, it restores your hair from within and smooths the surface for that glassy, mirror-shine finish. It seals the hair cuticle and improves texture.
2. Living Proof High Shine Gloss ($45 AUD)
This is a clear gloss (no pigment) that instantly amps shine and smooths without silicones. It's perfect if you want to refresh your look without altering your colour. Think of it as your top coat.
3. Typbea G4 Hydragloss Mask ($50 AUD)
This is your luxe night-in hair moment. It’s rich, buttery, and packed with shine-boosting hydrators like shea butter, avocado oil, wheat germ extract, and argan oil. Think deep nourishment meets red-carpet gloss.
4. Gisou Honey Infused Hair Gloss Ceramide Therapy ($60 AUD)
Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and honey. This one is the newest kid on the block, and it does not disappoint. Lightweight but deeply hydrating, it leaves your hair glossy, bouncy, and full of life. That honey glow? Yes please.
3. Kérastase Chroma Absolu Soin Acide Gloss ($65 AUD)
If your colour feels faded or flat, this treatment is your ride-or-die. It strengthens, smooths, seals and instantly makes your hair feel 10 times softer. It activates with water and transforms into a creamy, dreamy veil that leaves hair with a high-shine finish.
✨ Shiny hair is happy hair. Go forth and gloss!
