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, while adding true black tone to color treated or naturally dark brown or black hair. It will help you keep your color looking fresh, shiny and healthy between appointments.

Choose this color if you have dark brown or black hair and want to add true black tone.

How to:
(read all instructions thoroughly before glossing your hair)
1. wet hair thoroughly in the shower.
2. mix bottles 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?

WHAT IS IT?

    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.

    Warning for Highlighted Hair

    Made my high/low lighted hair dull and muddy. Another gloss I have used added shine and brightened the highlights. Oh well —just wanted to warn you.

    Smitten, my current mvp

    Love this gloss! As a gal with light curls I like to do everything I can to preserve them. I do not bleach my hair, nor have I done anything but semi permanent conditioner based dyes, (overtone is my tried and true) but I do love a warmer color in my hair. I have used this gloss twice now and enjoy it each time. Super fast and easy application, fades well and slowly. My hair goes from mousey to auburn, difficult to photograph but so clear irl. As someone already dealing with hair loss, I have experienced less hair loss after using this product, absolutely not more. My only complaint is that I only need about 1/5 of the bottle, so I feel like I’m wasting a ton of product since it apparently doesn’t keep— I so wish the bottles were formulated for multiple uses. Mirror photo is before, peace sign is after.
