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 light
blonde hair. It will help you keep your color looking fresh, shiny and
healthy between appointments.

Choose this color if you have light blonde hair 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.

LET’S TALK…

WHO NEEDS THIS?
anyone with light blonde hair
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: Does this cover gray hair?

submitted by KR - 7 years ago
  • A: Thanks for the question! Our Signature Gloss does not cover grays. Hope this helps!

    submitted byKristin Ess Hair - 7 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: The box says it will not cover grays but I used it for the first time tonight, left it on the full 20 min, and it does seem to have helped quite a bit with my greys

    submitted byLP - 2 years ago
  • A: No it does not cover grey.

    submitted bySp - 6 years ago

Q: I touched up my roots--but now they are orangish. Will Winter Wheat gloss act more like a toner to eliminate that? I know it won't cover gray or add highlights--I would just like to get rid of the orange tones at my roots.

submitted by JanReviews - 6 years ago
  • A: I did the same thing! Just reviewed this. It helps a little with that! Try it.. it definitely muted the orange/warmth a bit.

    submitted byCaroline - 6 years ago
  • A: Mixing a bit of purple dye (like Manic Panic brand "Ultra Violet") into your conditioner and using this on your orange roots after shampooing may help. I've used this mixture for 2 years to tone down my blonde hair if it gets brassy. Be conservative with the amount of dye you use. The color of your dye/conditioner mixture should be between a light and medium purple - not dark purple.

Q: Hello! If I have balayazh, dark roots and light hair tips will this product is good for me? Will my roots become brighter?

submitted by Inna - 7 years ago
  • A: Thanks for your question! Please reference the FAQs at www.kristinesshair.com for a gloss family chart to help pick the right shade for you.

Q: also — if you don’t use the entire bottle, can you keep what’s left for another use? or do you need to throw it out?

submitted by nikki - 8 years ago
  • A: You can get two or more uses out of one bottle. I always split it, since one bottle is a lot for my hair and I don’t want the product to go to waste. Don’t save if already mixed! I use a mixing bowl, put half bottle of the gloss and half of the ‘developer’, then apply on wet hair with a coloring brush. Just like you would with any box dye. Phenomenal results every time, such a great product. Love it, can’t live without it!

    submitted byJK - 6 years ago
  • A: You've got an hour from the time you mix to the time you ought to throw it out because the active ingredients are no longer ...well... active. So, in short, just use up the bottle on your hair because you can't save it for another application a few weeks later.

Q: My hair is bleach blonde, can i use this to warm up my color and make it not so bleach?

Q: Can this be used on strawberry blonde/ginger hair ?

submitted by Mum23 - 1 year ago
  • A: Thank you for your question! The Kristin Ess Signature Gloss in Winter Wheat is a light neutral blonde shade that is intended for those with light blonde hair and want to neutralize or tone down warmth in their hair. It is not recommended for those with strawberry blonde or ginger hair. If you're looking for a shade to help keep your hair healthy and shiny in-between salon appointments we would recommend trying our Crystal Quartz, which is a clear gloss for any hair color!

Q: Is this gloss blue-based or purple-based (or a combination)? Wondering if it works better on orange-toned brassiness or yellow-toned brassiness?

submitted by JEMom - 7 years ago
  • A: It’s definitely more violet than blue. Purple toned. I have both.. orange, and yellow from trying to color my light brown roots( I have blonde highlights). It took down the yellow more than the orange, but definitely helped to mute both. I’d recommend it. It didn’t cause any damage, and helped a bit.

    submitted byCaroline - 6 years ago

Q: So you have to so this in the shower? What about in the sink?

submitted by burtonsteph - 7 years ago
  • A: Thanks for the question! As long as the gloss is applied to wet hair and can be thoroughly rinsed, feel free to use whichever way it easiest for you.

    Nice gliss no noticable difference in the blonde blending

    My highlights are growing out so wanted a gloss to help blend without really adding hair dye or color. Before is too and after is bottom. I bought the blonde option in hopes it would help tone it down. Not a noticeable difference to anyone else, but did slightly help blend. Still roots are apparent. Was also hoping it would leave smooth, but also no noticeable difference.

    Winter wheat- did not tone or glass.

    Didn’t change hair color much- if anything it was a bit more orange. Hair did not feel soft after almost straw-like.

    My hair is recovering from a botch job and absolutely looked rough. I needed something that wasn’t gonna be damaging and could overall tone my color. This did exactly that, no complaints, so for that reason I will continue using this product from here on out!

    Great prosuct!

    I am a real person and was not paid for this review. This product has been a lifesaver! My last salon visit left my hair literally yellow blond (no bueno). This toner has helped calm it down and make my hair pretty again! It lasts ~6 weeks. I’ve used it twice now, for 15 mins both times. The second application made my hair a perfect bronde. So happy to be able to do this at home and have such great results!

    Ruined My Hair!!

    The winter wheat gloss turned my light brown hair with blonde highlights orange!!! It looks horrible!! I’ve washed it with clarifying shampoo numerous times and the orange isn’t budging!!!! I used the gloss exactly as directed and left it on 20 minutes. I was hoping the gloss would counteract some of the warmth in my hair but it just made it warmer!! I’m sooo upset!!

    Best Product Worth The Moneyyy

    I should’ve taken pictures. I have been looking for this product my whole life, takes out the red brassy tones and makes it neutral. Absolute life and money saver so I don’t have to go to the salon after highlighting my own hair 🥰

    Didnt do anything

    This review is for Winter Wheat color. I followed directions exactly, I left in for the full amount of time (20 minutes), and I can't see any difference in color or shine. I guess my hair feels slightly softer but I really wish it made it shinier at least. I would not purchase again. Before and after pics are from the same lighting.

    No gloss

    The tone slightly improved, however, I chose this product because it promised gloss and my hair looks more dull than it did before.

    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
