Color Excel Gloss: Get Christmas-Ready With Tone-on-Tone Color

The festive season is the perfect time to shine, whether you’re celebrating with family, attending gatherings, or simply embracing the holiday spirit. It’s also the ideal opportunity to refresh your hair color for added vibrancy.

Color Excel Gloss by Revlon Professional® is here to help you achieve a radiant, tone-on-tone color upgrade with its vegan, alcohol-free formula that’s as gentle as it is effective. Let’s explore how this innovative product can help you achieve your most stunning look for the holidays.

What Is Color Excel Gloss?

Color Excel Gloss offers a uniquely ammonia-free, vegan cream-based formula that reverses damage from chemical processes and rebuilds structure to recover hair’s natural quality. Unlike traditional liquid acidic colorations, it avoids alcohol and instead cares for the hair’s natural lipidic layer. It uses a lipid-rich formula to preserve and protect the hair structure, leaving it feeling nourished and smooth after every use. This formulation enhances both natural and previously colored hair, delivering a radiant tone-on-tone refresh without compromising the integrity of the hair.

Designed for All Hair Types and Colors

Whether you’re enhancing your natural color, refreshing highlights, or correcting tones, Color Excel Gloss is designed to suit a variety of hair types and shades. Its customizable palette of 35 shades (plus a clear gloss option) ensures there’s something for everyone. Whether you want to neutralize brassiness, add warmth, or simply restore shine, this product delivers consistently stunning results.

Why Refresh Your Hair Color for the Holidays?

The holidays are a time of social connection and celebration, with countless moments to capture and cherish. A gloss treatment can elevate your look, adding vibrancy, depth, and a polished finish that will make your clients camera-ready for every event.

Combat Dull, Faded Hair

Exposure to environmental elements, frequent washing, and heat styling can cause hair to lose its vibrancy. Color Excel Gloss revitalizes faded color and restores shine, making it the perfect choice for a quick, effective refresh before the festive season begins! Working its magic in just 10 minutes, it treats, colors, and adds shine in half the time!

Enhance Your Natural Color with Color Gloss Excel

Color Excel’s cream-based formula is powered by innovative GLOWin SYSTEM™ technology. This patent-pending system refills and repairs the protein structure. This primes hair for optimal color deposit and seals the cuticle to lock in color retention and lasting glow.

It also offers:

• 2X less breakage and 4X more shine with visibly improved condition compared to leading liquid technologies* (vs. untreated bleached hair).
• Up to 6X smoother hair and improved client experience.

This gloss subtly enriches the natural shade, adding dimension and depth without requiring a dramatic change. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a low-commitment color refresh that looks polished and sophisticated. Whether you’re looking to tone, correct, refresh, or neutralize hair, the 10-minute processing time delivers results.

Get Added Shine and Smoothness

Color Excel Gloss enhances shine by smoothing the hair cuticle, allowing it to reflect light more effectively. The result is a luxurious, silky appearance that instantly elevates your look. This innovative color offers no lift, no compromise, and features damage-reversing benefits, perfect for neutralization and toning.

Refresh and Revive Faded Color

Extend the life of your previous salon treatments with this gloss, which rejuvenates tones and revives highlights. It’s a gentle way to maintain color between appointments while keeping hair vibrant and healthy looking.

Customizable Shades for Every Look

From neutralizing brassiness to adding subtle warmth or cool tones, Color Excel Gloss offers endless possibilities. With a diverse range of shades, you can achieve a personalized, flawless finish tailored to your preferences.

How to Use Color Excel Gloss for Professional Results

Master the art of achieving beautiful results with Color Excel Gloss with our tips and techniques for perfect toning, neutralization, and radiant shine.

Step 1: Prepare

For best results, always start with a personalized consultation. Bring out your best social media images to help with that bespoke choice.

Step 2: Choose the Right Shade

From neutralizing brassy tones to creating bold new looks, Color Excel offers a dynamic selection of 35 shades, plus a clear gloss for custom results.

Stylists can create glazes, pastel tones, or striking finishes while maintaining predictable and vibrant results. Select a shade based on the current color and desired results. Warmer tones can add richness, while cooler options can neutralize unwanted brassiness.

Step 3: Apply Evenly

Start with clean or towel-dried hair to ensure an even application. Use an applicator bottle or brush to evenly distribute the Color Excel Gloss throughout the hair, achieving a smooth, salon-quality finish.

Step 4: Process and Rinse

Time efficiency is a priority in busy salons. With Color Excel’s 10 minute processing, you’ll spend less time waiting and more time on client experience. From quick touch-ups to full services, the low-alkalinity formula minimizes oxidation time without compromising quality. Leave the product on for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the intensity you want to achieve.

Maintaining Your Gloss for Lasting Results

Keep your color vibrant and your shine lasting longer! Here’s how to maintain your gloss and protect your tone between appointments.

Use Sulfate-Free Products

Switch to sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to prevent color fading and maintain a glossy finish. We recommend the EKSPERIENCE™ Color Protecting Line.

Reduce Heat Styling

Protect the hair by minimizing the use of heat tools. When styling, use a heat protectant such as the RE/START Balayage Hair Care Cream to shield the hair from damage.

Reapply Regularly

Schedule touch-ups every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the color and tone fresh and vibrant throughout the season.

Low Commitment, High Impact

Perfect for those seeking a subtle refresh, this gloss gradually fades over time, offering an effortless and low-maintenance way to experiment with tone-on-tone color.
