About this item

  • Silicone-free + ammonia-free
  • Lasts 3-4 weeks

Description

I always recommend that my clients come to get glossed and toned
between salon visits to extend the life of their color. I’m finally able
to give them, and you, something that is easy to use at home.
This in-shower treatment is formulated to instantly boost vibrancy
and shine, and adds depth to color treated or naturally dark brown
hair. It will help you keep your color looking fresh, shiny and healthy
between appointments.

Choose this color if you have dark brown hair and want to neutralize or
tone out any warmth or brassiness.

HOW TO:
(Read all instructions thoroughly before glossing your hair)
1. wet your hair thoroughly in the shower.
2. mix bottle 1 and 2 together, shake gently and apply all over.
3. wait 10-20 minutes, depending on the result you want, then rinse thoroughly.
4. shampoo and condition as usual.

VIBRANCY BOOSTING TECHNOLOGY:
creates a protective shield over the hair to instantly boost shine
and help lock-in your color.

ANTI-OXIDANT COMPLEX:
smooths and softens hair from root to tip making hair more
manageable.

ALKALINE NEUTRALIZING SYSTEM:
protects from color fading by preventing hard water minerals from
being deposited onto the hair and scalp.

LET’S TALK…

WHO NEEDS THIS?
anyone with dark brown hair looking to tone down brassiness and boost shine.

WHAT IS IT?
in-shower treatment that nourishes strands and restores vibrancy.

WHEN DO I USE IT?
in-between salon visits or any time your color looks dull or “brassy”.

WILL IT COVER gray HAIR?
ammonia-free formula will not lift, lighten or cover grays.

IS IT PERMANENT?
color lasts 3-4 weeks and will
gradually fade, depending on how often you shampoo.


Color + keratin safe.
Single application.

    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.

    No change in hair

    I have level 3-4 brown hair so darker and was excited to use this to help make it a little bit richer or more neutral. The gloss felt nice and wasn’t irritating to my hair but it did nothing with color. My hair didn’t darken at all and has no noticeable change in tone/undertone. I wish it had done more or had a noticeable change but I didn’t see any benefit!

    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.

    Worked well to blend my hair colors

    I was looking to darken my ends that were previously lightened by bleach and blend the color in with my naturally very dark brown hair. The bittersweet gloss did a great job turning the brown-red color into a neutral dark brown.

    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.

    Perfect!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re tired of not knowing how to make your hair have that gloss, then this is the perfect product. The packaging was great and the texture was okay but this products work in 10-15 mins and that’s amazing!!! It does not have a strong scent so that’s great!
