A brightening thermal leave-in fluid for blonde, highlighted, and grey hair — Davines' patented Fortifying Botanical Shield conditions, heat-protects to 230°C, adds UV protection, and delivers immediate visible shine from the first blowdry.
The Moda Team Review
The Sheer Glaze is the product that changes how a client feels about their blonde the moment they dry it. That immediate smoothness and brightness is the Fortifying Botanical Shield doing its job — forming a fine protective film over the hair surface that catches and reflects light rather than absorbing it. This is not shine from a silicone coating that builds up and flattens over time. It's brightness from better surface structure.
Every HOG product has a job. The Shampoo chelates and balances tone. The Rich Conditioner repairs bonds. The Sheer Glaze is the finishing step — it goes on damp hair before the blowdry and stays in. It provides the heat protection clients often skip (or apply with a different, non-HOG-compatible product), extends the hold and longevity of the blowdry, and adds UV protection that standard heat protectants don't include. For a blonde client blowing out her hair two to three times a week, this is the most versatile and impactful step in the daily routine.
Why Moda Carries This
Davines is our entire professional line. We apply the Sheer Glaze in the salon on blonde and highlighted clients before any heat styling, and we recommend it as the leave-in step every blonde client takes home. The combination of heat protection, UV defence, and the Fortifying Botanical Shield's structural work is what makes this a meaningful product — not a luxury finishing touch, but an active protective step that the hair actually benefits from on every use.
Key Active Ingredients
-
Fortifying Botanical Shield (Patented — Picea Abies, Scandinavian Spruce Fibre Extract): Davines' patented botanical extract sourced from Scandinavian spruce fibres. Forms a fine, lightweight film over the hair surface that strengthens the cuticle, adds visible shine, and provides UV protection and heat protection to 230°C without silicones.
-
Jagua Blue Extract (Genipa Americana, Colombia): Continues the plant-based tonal balancing work started in the Chelating Shampoo — prevents tone from warming during heat styling.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply before the blow-dry begins — not partway through. The Fortifying Botanical Shield needs to be on the hair surface before heat contact to deliver both the full thermal protection and the complete styling hold benefit. A small amount distributed evenly through damp mid-lengths and ends is all that's needed. Too much product concentrated in one area can make that section feel coated at the root. Keep it off the scalp entirely.
Not the Right Fit If...
Not designed for air-dry styling — the Fortifying Botanical Shield is a heat-activated technology that performs best under the blow-dryer. Clients who air-dry most of the time are better served by the HOG Instant Bonding Glow as their leave-in step, which delivers rinse-out bond repair and luminosity without needing heat activation.
How To Use
- After washing and conditioning, remove excess water from hair.
- Apply a small amount through damp mid-lengths and ends. Do not apply to roots.
- Comb through for even distribution.
- Do not rinse.
- Blow-dry and style as desired. The Botanical Shield activates with heat.
