I have fake blonde hair. Sorry for the humble brag, but my hair is (usually) well-groomed and incredibly shiny. But when summer arrives, I get in the pool. I swim in the ocean. My bleached hair gets hit by the sun and turns a dull, slightly orangey, not-so-desirable color. That's where hair gloss comes in. Hair gloss is generally a semi-permanent hair color that can darken, enrich, give shine, and change the tone of hair,” hairstylist Olivia Casanova once told Marie Claire. 'The only thing you can't do with gloss is brighten people up.'

While you can absolutely visit a salon for a refresher, I prefer at-home treatments (think: less money, less time, same results). Good news: Ulta has the best hair gloss for shiny summer hair. The retailer has all my personal favorites: DpHue's Glossy Glaze is easy to use (and smells amazing), ColorWow's High Gloss Finish Spray is a hair gloss alternative with nearly identical results, Pureology's Color Fanatic topcoat is what I use most often to add shine.

A handful of the best hair toners and glosses are on major discount as part of the Alta Back to School Sale. But you'll want to act fast-the deals end later today. With that in mind, I combed through nearly 200 hair gloss products (yes, this took time) to find the 15 best Alta hair glosses for summer.
