Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze
A brightening thermal leave-in fluid for blonde, highlighted, and grey hair — the finishing step that provides heat protection, UV defence, and a visible shine boost, powered by the patented Fortifying Botanical Shield sourced from Scandinavian spruce.
The Moda Team Review: The Step That Makes Blonde Look Finished
The Sheer Glaze is the product in the HOG system that changes how a blowdry looks. Not in a heavy, product-loaded way — it's a fluid, not a serum or a cream, and it applies so lightly that most clients forget they've put anything on. But the Fortifying Botanical Shield does something specific that makes a real difference: it forms a film over the hair surface that locks in the blowdry shape, extends styling hold, and simultaneously provides heat protection up to the temperatures most clients are using their dryers and irons at. The shine it delivers is brightness, not grease — the kind that makes freshly-coloured blonde look expensive rather than coated.
We recommend it for every blonde client who blow-dries. It's also the HOG system's UV protection step — the only product in the routine that shields against UV ray fading between appointments, which is meaningful for any client who spends time outdoors.
Key Active Ingredient
Fortifying Botanical Shield — An innovative multifunctional active sourced from Scandinavian spruce fibres grown in sustainably managed forests, patented by Davines Laboratories. It conditions and strengthens the hair fibre, provides thermal protection, enhances elasticity, and extends blowdry hold through its film-forming properties. It is the only active in the HOG system derived from tree fibres rather than fruit or seed.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply on towel-dried or damp hair before drying — it needs to be on the hair before heat contact to activate the thermal protection. A light, even application through the lengths is all it takes. Don't concentrate it at the roots unless the client's hair is very dry at the root — it's a lengths-and-ends product that distributes best when the hair is still damp. The scent is exactly what clients expect from HOG: fresh citrus and spice opening to crisp green and soft florals.
How To Use
- After washing and conditioning, towel-dry hair to remove excess water.
- Apply Sheer Glaze evenly through lengths and ends.
- Do not rinse.
- Blow-dry and style as desired. The Botanical Shield activates with heat for extended blowdry hold.
