I never write reviews but this is too good not to! I am graying and tired of fighting it and I want to just let my hair do its thing. However, faded past dye jobs have left my ends very brassy/orange and my natural color at my roots is a very cool dark brown (and white 😅). I don’t want to dye my hair anymore but I want to let all of this brassiness grow out without having to continue dying my hair. Enter this!! I used the color Bittersweet and it did a PERFECT job of getting rid of the orange tones and blending my grays into my natural color. I know I’ll have to use this every few weeks or so to keep the orange away until it has completely grown out but that’s exactly what I wanted…something that isn’t permanent, and that won’t completely dye my grays, that will help me transition to leaving my hair my natural color. I am so happy to have found a solution that works!! I am posting a photo of my before and after!

Stains Everything & Little to no Actual Payoff
Did not do anything for my hair, and stained absolutely everything. The product starts out as clear so you don't realize all the places it got until it's set and has already stained. Stains fabric like crazy and even stained counter tops and walls. Every review failed to mention the staining factor, and I took tons of extra care to make sure I was clean with it but it even stained when I was washing it out. Can not recommend.

I love the Kristen Ess hair gloss. I have been using this product for a while and it always helps make my hair color richer and my hair shinier. It is super easy to apply at home by yourself. The only downside it is doesn’t last forever. It tends to last me about a month before completely fading.

Just tried this for the first time today, and very satisfied with the results. Easy to apply, I left mine on for 30 minutes and it as very happy that it covered my strands of grey around my temporal area and made my hair shiny! Will definitely use again.

I stopped dying my hair and started using this gloss every month and am obsessed! It’s helped tone my brunette hair and makes my hair so skiny. It’s the perfect cool toned brown!

Don't buy this
If I could give this 0 stars I would. Mymom and I tried it and it dried our hair so bad.It also caused a lot of fallout.

Not for me- dark and dry.
I bought this to tone my hair. brunette with red undertones. I wanted to go a little darker but not black and I didn't want to dye my hair so this seemed like a good option. Definitely left my hair darker- almost black but it also dried out my hair so much. I won't be buying this again. I left it in for 20 minutes.
