## 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. 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.

Review: SINGLE GREATEST HOME HAIR COLOR EVER!!!! - GOT ORANGE HAIR? GREAT HAIR DYE FAIL SOLUTION! Love this gloss. I plan to buy it every month for the next two years while I grow out a hair dye fail. I have orangey hair that can't be bleached because my strand test turns green, gets hot, and smokes... My only choice is to cover it up, grow it out, and cut it off incrementally. I wanted something that would cover up the orange and not dye the roots. I saw this in a Brad Mondo video, so I decided to give it a try: - Before photo: My hair fail... I have level 8 blonde hair which I accidentally dyed orange, then had to cover up with black for a couple of years. I got the black out during quarantine using Metally B + 10 peroxide and washing with Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo over and over again. I then covered it up with level 8 Clairol Natural Instincts, but it grabbed an uneven level 4, lifted my hair too much, and turned the new growth orange too. - Round 1 - Middle photo - I did an intermediary step of using the Smokey Topaz color to tame the orange. It did a little.. but still looked orange in the sun. I let it wash out and was relieved to find that my roots had not lifted to the point they were orange. The roots stayed the same color and washed out completely in about 3 weeks. The rest of my hair was back to orange in about 6 weeks. So it basically went back to the before photo. It is important to note that they have a video online on how to apply this gloss... Watch very carefully exactly how they handle the hair while it is applied and how they let it sit. I had a hard time getting started the first time and wasn't careful enough on the first section... There was a considerable amount of mid-strand breakage there. Not a big deal since I was planning on cutting it off anyway... But if you are trying to save the length, have a friend help you. It might even be worth getting it cut first so none of the dead dry ends tangle and cause breakage further up the strands. - Round 2 - No photo - This time I used Bittersweet (I knew from the Brad Mondo video it wouldn't be black... it's a really pretty ash blonde color... but it will take the brass out of anything which is probably why the model is black... that hair type has a lot of orange hair issues.) I loved it as soon as I saw it, even when it was wet. It evenly coated the roots and the new growth. I also loved it when it washed out 4 weeks later and left my roots unlifted. I almost thought about just leaving it and not dying it, but it would have probably kept washing out and I wanted what was left to be filler for the next layer. I will say that the dyed part I cut off looked very "flat" once the gloss part was gone. I had so much mid-strand breakage round 1, I decided to cut off as much as I could first, then apply the gloss. When I cut off 4 inches at the salon yesterday, I looked at it on the floor and the color was so flat and even I had a hard time seeing the individual strands on top of each other. The roots I had covered up were still "normal" though... So once the dyed part is all gone, flat color won't be an issue. I did notice that the color was a little streaky in spots the first week. Probably needed a second coat. - Round 3: After photo. 3 weeks in on Round 2, so the first box of Bittersweet was a good primer for the second box. No streakiness. I applied the gloss 2 days ago and took a shower yesterday. This is my result. I have about 3 inches of the old hair color that can't be bleached left to grow out. I have a few strands of grey here and there that the dye doesn't stick to, but not a big deal. I don't see any of the streakiness this time around... Probably because I did the second box 3 weeks after the first box so it was a primer. Also, it came off my bathtub very easily with Comet.
Review: Would recommend for color treated hair - My natural hair his dark brown, almost black. I had 2 rounds of blonde highlights done and used this in color bittersweet when I was tired of them. This achieved the desired effect of darkening my hair to my natural color. It was easy to apply and looked very good when styled. It darkened my money pieces and made the texture of my hair very smooth and silky, similar to before I dyed my hair. I would recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, great color
*by L***O on January 11, 2026*

Easy, easy in your hair and great coverage. I colored my hair just two weeks ago with an amethyst hair color (not this products brand) and not only did it fry my hair. It stripped all of the color out of my hair and left it gray annd orange with bright purple roots. This product fixed all of those issues and left my hair feeling amazing. I could not be happier. In the photos below, the first picture was taken just before I colored my hair with the other brand and I did it just to cover my roots. The second photo was taken after coloring my hair with the other brand literally days later and the third photo was taken one day after using this product
