Ruins hair and makes it fall out
I did the test strand as suggested because I hadn't dyed it in eight years, so it was virgin hair. the test seemed ok so I did the rest of my hair. First of all it smells awful, which is understandable because it's chemicals but once I washed it out I could barely run a brush through it even after heavy conditioning. Secondly, my hair started falling out in chunks from my roots the day after. The hair that was left remained awfully brittle, I couldn't run my fingers through my hair like before, and it continued to fall out for a month after applying this product. I waited a few months to see what would happen with my hair, it has started growing back out at least and I have new inch long hairs over my entire head. I lost about 20% of my hair. Do not get this. it's awful.

Works well... Smells awful
It definitely darkened my hair and added shine, and I appreciate that it didn’t dry my hair out at all. That said… the smell! The chemical scent lingered for DAYS, even between washes. It works, yes. But the scent alone makes it hard to recommend.

Very easy application. I used it in the shower as instructed with no issue. Once it’s rinsed out thoroughly, the color doesn’t bleed or transfer. I’m happy with the shine and color.

Do not use if you want to still have hair after use
I wish I could rate it a 0 star. Made hair so dry and led to EXTREME fallout and breakage due to the dryness. I was so upset because I was losing so much hair. Do not use anything Kristin ess unless you want to end up with no hair.

It works!
It works and gets the job done. My black semi permanent faded to dull and brown/red (previously had highlights) and I needed a a quick fix. This neutralized the tones and added darker pigment blended it very well. My natural color is dark brown. It added gloss and after it was soft. Sure, my hair did feel dry after washing, but after conditioning it was fine. The smell, is expected-it’s a chemical but, it’s tolerable.

Black Iris
I wanted to try an at home gloss because I normally do a gloss at the salon but still have a few months until my next visit and my hair was needing a little something. Decided to try this out because I have black hair already but I go for a gloss for the shine and dimension it gives. The price of this was fine and what I feel salons should charge for a damp hair bottle application, but salon glosses tend to cost at least two-three times this D.I.Y. kit. I loved the ease of application and it was so smooth and detangling almost, I thought I was going to love it when applying. Then I left on for max time and washed out, shampooed twice, conditioned as normal. Somehow this left my hair and scalp so dry. Even after deep conditioning, I’m still nursing my hair back to the shine it had before the gloss. The scent also is so hard to get out of my hair. I’ve washed my hair a few times with a double shampoo and still can’t rid my hair of it and it’s not the best scent honestly. I was so bummed because this product had great reviews for the most part, but it was a big miss for me and I can’t wait for my hair to return to normal.

Color Never Faded
The color never faded. I had to go to a salon to fix the coloring. I recognized when using it that my byalage would impact how saturated my hair would be, but I never anticipated it wouldn't fade at all after 8 weeks. It also brought out the natural red undertones in my hair. If I wanted to permanently color my hair dark brown, I'd use it again....but spending $300 at a salon to slightly lighten the color and re-add byalage worth it. Especially since the base color is still pretty dark.

Do not buy!!!
I tried the black hair gloss, my hair was so soft before the usage of it. I followed the directions provided and left it on my hair for 15 minutes tops. It did make my hair darker and that's the only good thing I can say. My hair after the usage of this product became so brittle, crispy, dull, & dry. It looked shinier before. I've used the brand before as a hair gloss and have never had my hair so damaged from it, idk if they changed the formula but my hair got absolutely destroyed, I ended up using a hair mask to add moisture back into my hair but that barely helped.
