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

    Do jot buy

    I have curly thin hair and was told glossing would reduce frizz. Instead of going to a salon I tried this because I'm cheap. Big mistake. It did absolutely nothing! No gloss no removing frizz. I followed the directions to the T. On top of that, I have been losing hair! Hair I've been trying so hard to grow. Do NOT buy. Go to a professional instead.

    Hair Falls out

    I love the very short effect this gloss gives my hair unfortunally it makes my hair fall out so much. I need to find a different product because lossing hair and the short effect is not worth it.

    DESTROYS HAIR

    DO NOT USE! It destroyed my hair and completely damaged my hair texture after one use. It’s falsely represented as a semi permanent but it uses a 7vol developer that is a Demi permanent. Will cause issues at the hair salon if it doesn’t destroy your hair. False advertising!!!

    A fantastic toner!

    So happy with this!! I have brown hair that sun bleaches SO easily and I really feel like it washes me out, but it’s unnecessary (and never quite the right color) to do a full color. This toner helped bring the brown back into my too blonde areas and I love! Easy to use, didn’t stain anything.

    chocolate cosno

    chocolate cosmo~ if yall leave this in too long, it WILL make your hair super dark. i included my time as the time i was applying it because as soon as you apply it, it starts glossing. i set an 11 minute timer after applying in on my long hair. i washed it out and it was notably a darker brown but NOT black. you really have to be careful…. expect it to cover your blonde. a blonde with brass to it will go green. just be careful for real. my honest review is that i don’t recommend this to anyone… it made my hair feel coarse. i wasn’t mad about the color it left but the gloss literally made my hair feel coarse. i was intrigued by this because the name ‘chocolate cosmo’ was cute & it looked like it would be a pretty result. it waznt worth it but now i know. it’s already faded it out a lot.

    Good alternative to salon visits but be aware that this will turn your blonde bits dark, like very dark. It also will stain your tub/sink if not wiped immediately. I’m hoping it washes out just fine.

    I used to love this gloss and would use it every few months. This last time it was notably different- super runny and not as thick so it ran all over the place during the 10-20 minutes it sets. It also made me scalp and neck itch for days which it’s never done in the past. Really disappointed in the change.

    My balayage was getting brassy so I got this to tone it to a chocolate brown. It definitely took the brass out but my hair is now basically black on the ends. I’m thinking this should fade out some hopefully.

    Terrible product. Left my hair super dark, almost black. Doesn't look at all like the picture on the box. I also feel I have been losing hair and the toner doesn't fall out with clarifying shampoos or washing it over the course of several days.

    I love this product. It helps when your highlights are getting too light. It leaves my hair darker and softer. It also makes some of my white hairs brown.

    I have naturally dark brown hair and wanted to get my highlights reddish, but it turned everything really dark almost black. I tried the other colors before and they were not as dark. Definitely do not recommend this for lighten hair. Only if you already have dark brown hair do you wanna have basically almost black hair temporarily

    Works great on damaged hair!

    My hair is sooooo smooth and shiny. Part of my hair was bleached so I’m still surprised at how smooth that part of my hair is. I would definitely recommend!
