April 2009. Experts say that John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze revives dull, lackluster hair in between colorings. This hair glaze contains small amounts of semi-permanent color -- which reviewers say helps boost color. The glaze is available in five shades as well as a clear formula that works on any color of hair, including your natural color. Luminous Color Glaze contains silicones, which can make your hair feel thicker, but it may be too heavy for users with fine hair who say that it left their hair feeling greasy. The glaze can be used daily, though some experts recommend using it only as a once-a-week treatment. It isn't designed to cover gray hair or roots. For touch-ups in between hair colorings, try Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch-Up (*est. $7).
