Amal Clooney's Hair Stylist Told Me the $11 Hair Gloss Behind Her Glistening Strands

One shopper raved that it “revived” their hair.

Recently, celebrity fashion and beauty trends have given me sensory overload. As a beauty editor, all of it has started blending together; I can’t separate one thing from the other and almost nothing stands out. One of the few exceptions? Amal Clooney's glistening honey highlights, which I noticed last September and still think about ions later. I was so obsessed with the subtle transformation that I DM’ed her hair stylist, Dimitris Giannetos (who also works with Megan Fox and Gigi Hadid) for advice and product intel. I was surprised when he replied with L’Oréal Paris’s Le Color Toning Hair Gloss in Smokey Bronde, on sale for $11 on Amazon.

Le Color Toning Hair Gloss is a quick in-shower treatment that neutralizes brassiness, boosts shine and color, and deeply hydrates strands. Giannetos tells InStyle that when he did Clooney’s hair, he “applied it onto her wet hair for 10 minutes the same way you apply shampoo.” His technique is to “massage the hair [from root] to ends” to make sure all of the strands are covered in the gloss treatment.

The official directions from the brand are pretty much what Giannetos described. To experience the Toning Gloss’ benefits, all you have to do is apply it evenly onto clean, wet hair and let it sit for five to 15 minutes before rinsing it out. Afterwards, even colored, damaged strands should be revitalized, healthy, and shiny.

L’Oréal Paris’ Le Color Gloss is available in 12 shades ranging from Cool Brunette to Silver White. Nearly 11,000 shoppers have given it a five-star rating. One shopper specifically praised the Silver White Gloss. “Products and air pollution tend to make the ends go yellow… after using [Le Color Gloss] my hair has no yellow, is shiny, and feels wonderful.” Another shopper wrote, “I didn't realize how dry my hair was until I used this product. It does not weigh your hair down but does leave it beautifully moisturized.” A final shopper said this has “revived” their hair and made it “silky soft.”

Head to Amazon to shop L’Oréal Paris’ Le Color Toning Hair Gloss, the surprisingly affordable key to Amal Clooney’s glossy strands. And, if you’re looking to add more shine-inducing goodies to your cart, Giannetos said he finished off her hair with a spritz of the iconic and equally affordable L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray.
