Answer: (A)

Glaze primarily adds translucent color and shine. In Pivot Point terminology, a glaze is a lightweight color application that deposits a soft layer of pigment to adjust tone and give the hair a luminous, glassy finish without dramatically changing the level or lifting existing color. Because the pigment is translucent, the underlying color remains visible, adding depth and glow rather than a solid new color. It’s not meant to create a permanent pigment deposit, nor to lift color, and it isn’t a sealing step that leaves color unchanged. Glazes can be mixed with clear or toning formulas to refresh warmth or coolness and boost shine after a color service.
