Colour Refresh | Why Toners & Glosses Fade
- 4 hours ago

A colour refresh is the perfect way to revive your hair between full colour appointments. Over time, toners, glosses and semi-permanent colours naturally fade - especially after several weeks of washing and styling. Unlike permanent colour, toners and glosses are deposit-only formulas. They don’t permanently alter the hair structure. Instead, they sit on the outer layer of the hair to neutralise unwanted tones, enhance shine, and refine the overall colour result. This is why they gradually wash out over time.
Most toners and glosses typically last around 15–25 washes, which usually works out to approximately 3–6 weeks, depending on hair condition, shampoo frequency, heat styling, and sun exposure. These services are designed to:
• neutralise brassiness
• refresh faded blonde or brunette tones
• add luminous shine
• rebalance colour between appointments
A Colour Refresh Package is ideal when your hair still looks healthy but simply needs that professional tonal adjustment to bring it back to life. At Elaine George Salon in Melbourne, we often recommend a toner or gloss refresh every 4-6 weeks to keep colour looking polished, fresh and vibrant between major colour services.
