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 neutralizing warmth on color treated or natural bronde (between dark blonde and light brown) hair. It will help you keep your color looking fresh, shiny and healthy between appointments.

Choose this color if you have dark blonde or light brown hair (aka: bronde) and want to neutralize or tone down warmth.

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.

WHO NEEDS THIS?
anyone with dark blonde or light
brown hair (aka: bronde) looking to
tone down 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 hair color looks too warm
or “brassy”.

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

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


Color + keratin safe.
Single application.

Q: Can this be used over light red henna to neutralize the red while hair grows out?

submitted by Truthy87 - 2 years ago
  • A: Hello! Thank you for your question! No, we do not advise to use the Signature Glosses on hair that has been treated with henna. There is always a possibility of a chemical reaction when you lay gloss or hair color over hair that has been previously colored with henna. You could try our Toning line The One Purple Shampoo and Conditioner, it's sulfate free and can be used to help neutralize warmth and brassiness in natural and color treated hair. Hope this helps!

    BEST In-Between Color Gloss

    I usually color my hair professionally with a semi‑permanent color and spend about $225 each visit. With the extreme heat and sun lately, my color fades fast and turns brassy. I’ve been eyeing this shade for weeks because the color on the box is exactly what I try to maintain. I finally tried it last night and WOW — I feel like a new woman. I have dark brown hair with natural highlights, and Smoky Topaz toned down all the orange/copper brass and warmed everything up beautifully. My hair looks like I just stepped out of the salon: shiny, soft, and rich in color. Highly recommend. Trust!

    Did not work at all

    I love Kristen ess products, my hair was the exact same as the befor and when I did the toner for 20 mins my hair was brittle and no change in coloring or tone what so ever. Very disappointing.

    I was pretty scared to use this but it did exactly what I needed it to do which was kill the red tint in my brown hair. Shade was smoky topaz.

    While I guess it took the brass out, it also took the lightness out and made my highlights darker.

    Way better than expected!

    It really worked! My highlighted hair always goes brassy (orange/yellow). I tried every blue and purple shampoo and it made no difference. Since I love my Kristin Ess shampoo and conditioner, I figured I’d give it a try. I can’t believe what a big difference it makes! My hair looks amazing. I left it on for 20 minutes and it looks like I just got back from the salon-shiny, healthy and my color has depth. It turned brassy blonde into a light caramel brown! Hooray! I’ve been looking for something like this for years!

    Subtle but noticeable!

    Smoky Topaz is a MUST HAVE for me between salon appointments. It’s not a dye & the difference it makes is subtle, but it tones down the brassiness enough for me to feel super refreshed & confident!

    Smokey Topaz is very RED. NOT ASHY.

    Smokey Topaz is very RED. I thought it would be a neutral ash color given the Smokey name. It’s very, very red. It’s been about 6 months since I used it and it’s still in my hair. It’s horrid. I am trying to just grow it out but it’s an awful slow process.

    It saved my hair! My hair was super brassy, so I left the product for 20 min. Initially, I was concerned since during the wait time my hair became super dark, but after rinsing it, there was a huge difference, and now it looks amazing 😍

    Does not help with orange/brassiness

    Helps with shine but that’s about it. My hair pulls orange shortly after I get it done at the salon. Figured this would at the very least tone it down, but it does not. (Medium blond hair) I was probably better off doing the darker one and having it gloss over the orange to make it darker, but I wanted light brown. If anything it made my hair more orange haha

    So far so good

    I used the Smoky Topaz for 13 min to help refresh my hair. I have highights and have been dying by greys at home, but the high/low leves were getting too harsh. Overall I like the results. It definately picks up a almost deep purple/pink hue (I noticed this in some of the pics online), but I dont think most people really notice that. I'll see how it fades and go from there.
