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 depth to color treated or natural 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 amplify or
add warm tones.

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 add warmth and enhance 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 faded.

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.

LOVE CHOCOLATE COSMO!

5 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Taylor - 23 days ago, Verified purchaser
I had a blonde balayage and wanted to go back to my natural color for fall so I chose chocolate cosmo. I literally left it on for 4 minutes- from the time it touched my hair during application to the time I jumped in the shower to rinse it off and it came out a nice light brown with warm undertones. You can still see the dimension of my balayage peeking through and I love it. I read horror stories about it turning people’s hair black when left on for 10-20 minutes per the instructions, so I decided I could always go darker later and add another application. Remember, 4 minutes for everything (application and processing). I worked fairly quickly. The picture in the red dress is a before and the blue shirt is the after.

This made my hair super dark. It is almost black. It is not a golden brown. I have used Kristen Ess before but a different color. This color was way too much for my hair and I keep triple washing to try and get the color out. Will not use again.

A Bit of Color

This was a surprising find! I was looking for a product to add some shine to my hair and stumbled upon this one. I liked that it didn’t claim to affect colored hair and simply was there to add a shine. As you can see from the before and after, I do think it did deposit some color to my hair, but I don’t see that as a bad thing. It really evened out my color and provided a beautiful gloss to my hair. It also seemed to make my hair feel softer after a blow dry. Overall I really love the product and will continue to purchase it for maintenance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was some good hair dye, I do wish I had another box because I didn't realize how thick my hair was but what I honestly loved most was the instructions talking to me like we were home girls lol. It was cute. It let a nice shine and was a lot easier then regular box dye.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a lovely gloss honestly. It's a two part system you mix leave in for however long and end with beautiful hair that looks nearly salon quality. I grew up with a hair stylist and honestly this wasn't any different than the pro stuff I get at Sally's with everything you need. Gloves are included and the results are a rich beautiful multidimensional hair color.

I used this to cover up some greys! It worked so well, I DID not use the whole bottle - probably 1/3rd of it. Kept it on my greys for 20 mins while also adding a little to the rest of my hair / ends. Great product! Will be using again soon!

It turned my hair BLACK! I have neutral/warm brown hair and I was hoping it would just enhance the color and make my hair look glossy. I noticed it was an orange color going on and I was expecting it to be warm and I washed it out and it was BLACK!!! My hair also smells super chemically. I am so sad and frustrated. Please don’t buy this if you have brown hair and you want to keep it brown.

This turned my natural, neutral dark brown hair almost BLACK. I used this product in a different shade (when I was dyeing my hair a different color) years ago with no issues. Followed the instructions exactly this time and the result is the opposite of what it promises - the color has zero warmth/is ashy and doesn’t even read as brown anymore (reads as black). Even worse, it’s behaving like a dye and not like a gloss. I cannot get it to come out, even with many rounds of clarifying shampoo. This has fully ruined my very long, healthy, virgin hair and I’m sick about it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like this would work for someone needing to add shine while eliminating brass. I didn't notice too much of a difference in my hair bc it was healthy to begin with. It was very easy to work with! Not too bad of a smell and did not dry out my hair.
