Try this gloss
At first I was skeptical about trying out this gloss but decided to go for it anyway. My hair is naturally dark brown and I wanted it to be black temporarily. This gloss was easy to use and the results were great. It left my hair shiny and the darker color I was going for, for about 4-5 weeks

Just Don't.
I REALLY wanted to love this... I typically get a tinted gloss in the salon, but was unable to make it in prior to a trip, and so I used this instead in the color Black Iris, and I regret it. I had a TON of fallout when rinsing this out in the shower, so much hair just coming out. Since then, it's has been incredibly dry, and I'm having to do extra conditioning treatments. I've had awful breakage, too. My hair is long, down to the ends of my shoulder blades, and now there are chunks throughout my hair with breakage to the top 1/4 of my head. Super disappointing, it's going to take a long time to get my hair back to normal after this :(

TARGET, YOU HAVE A STOCK/WEBSITE ISSUE & THIS IS A GOOD PRODUCT
I LOVE THIS GLOSS IN THIS SHADE WHY IS IT NEVER IN STOCK ANYWHERE TARGET EVEN THO IT SAYS SO SOMETIMES???? It’s a lil stinky and maybe theres better at-home glosses out there idk I never tried them, Kristin ess just has that true bang for ur hair care buck brand image for me It’s rly easy to apply and I love the color, which lasts a decent while. (My natural shade is admittedly much lighter than the directions advise but it’s all good idk) I wish TARGET stocked it regularly. So I could continue to buy my BLACK IRIS HAIR GLOSS BY KRISTIN ESS at TARGET ESTABLISHMENTS.

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.

Leaves hairs shiny and soft!
When using a hair gloss, i like buying Kristin Ess brand. I have highlights on my hair and i have used their toner and it leaves my hair feeling so soft and making my hair color even in between salon visits. I do have a lot of hair so i have to use two boxes, a bit pricey but worth it.

Change like weeks
The pigment is great but the colour bleeds!!!! It gets on everything. The red will take over again like it did last time. It's still beautiful, bit it's sad to see my yellows and oranges deepen as thes red takes over before they all begin to fade (right about time for me to head back to my stylist). The colours are ever changing and shifting with each wash because the red that rinses out (even in plain, cold water) deepens thes lighter tones. I don't mind the ever- shifting hair. It's fun and looks like I visit the salon much more often than I actually do.

Great gloss
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time trying a gloss and i couldn't have been more impressed. Scent was not overpowering. Application was easy if you follow the instructions. Shine was immaculate and it actually left my hair very soft. I love the little gift (the detangler) it is soo pretty

my hair looks shiny
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well well… Not really impressed with the results. Nice toning of multidimensional warm blond hair. Blended my root grow out beautifully. I think it worth buying between appointments for a little better color. I applied the product as a hair mask and let it sit for 30 min (20 min was recommended) Then got back in the shower to shampoo and condition. Package is simple and easy to use, amount is enough for medium length hair. If u have long hair I recommend to use 2 packages. I can definitely say that my hair just looks healthier and fresh, shiny and glossy, but not much color difference.
