Easy Way to Refresh Hair Color
I picked this up for someone in my family and was impressed with the results. The color looked rich and even, and it added a noticeable shine without making the hair feel dry or brittle afterward. It did a great job refreshing faded color and made the hair look healthier overall. The application process was straightforward, and the included instructions were easy to follow. I also liked that it wasn’t a permanent commitment, making it a good option for anyone who wants to enhance their color without a major change. If you’re looking for a simple way to boost shine, deepen your color, and give your hair a fresh salon-like look at home, this is definitely worth trying.

Run don’t walk!
Omg best 15 dollars ever spent! This is a longer review so if you want the BLUF: you can achieve that cherry cola color on previously balayaged hair (root/bangs area). Smells a bit strong but worth the touch up. For reference; the piece I pulled in the photo is the color I started with. Did not stain hands (no gloves used) or bathtub (rinsed immediately if color splattered on tub). Minor staining under fingernails/cuticles Recommendation - at least 2 bottles for full saturation if you have a lot of/longer hair like me. In depth: As a low maintenance hair girly (I don’t like going to the salon often) I love what this color did for my hair. You can definitely pick up the cherry cola red undertones especially against chocolatey dark brown hair. I did get my hair done last month with a fresh balayage but unfortunately the red/auburn color has already faded some because I do style with heat often. I use heat protector and 10 in 1 but still, red is typically the first to go. So a lot of the pieces had already lifted some but I figured they would hold onto this color pretty nice. Honestly I only focused the formula on the bangs area/top of my head. Really worked it in and saturated those pieces and WOW. It took away the orangey/brass color immediately after my wash, it’s a very noticeable difference especially in person. Plus my hair feels incredible! Just follow the instructions exactly and it’ll be so great of a payoff in my opinion. This is day 1 and you can definitely note the difference of where I concentrated the color and which piece I needed more on. Again for reference, the strand I’m holding is what I was working with on top of my head too. How the bangs look after application are basically what I left with during my last salon appointment a month ago, and I LOVE it. Definitely get 2 bottles if you have a lot of hair like me (Mexican hair that hits mid to low back). I would recommend applying this in front of a mirror so you can be precise on which pieces you feel need a bit more concentrating on than others! Just be mindful of what you’re wearing (something stain resistant) and if it spills/splatters on the sink or tub make sure you immediately rinse it and clean it up. I believe thats why I didn’t experience staining like some of the people on here did. I did my application pretty much by feel in the shower, and if I had just done it in the mirror I’m sure I could’ve saturated a couple of those front face framing pieces a little better with one bottle. Will still be repurchasing to get the rest of my hair on the same page. Thanks for reading, hope it helped!

Stunning!
I LOVE this gloss. I'm naturally a mousy light brown color, but I go to the salon every 6 weeks to have a rich brunette put in. Unfortunately, my hair fades really quickly as I have to wash daily. My first use of this got me exactly back to a rich warm brown. I've tried CelebLuxury and Keracolor before, and neither brand could match what one application of this gloss did for my color. Super easy to use, even for someone who doesn't color their own hair regularly. Will obviously stain if you get it on your shirt, walls, etc., so just be mindful of that. Did not stain my bathtub during rinsing, but I held my head over the edge and kept it under the faucet. Highly recommend if you're wanting a WARM reddish brown!

Not dramatic, but exactly what I needed.
I used it on my rooted blond that had gone brassy. It helped to blend the root and tone down the yellow in the highlighted part. Made my hair soft and helped the shine. I will use it again when I can’t get to the salon to fix my dark roots and straw highlights.

Works great every time!
I’ve purchased this product twice now and both times have had great results. It’s super easy to do at home reasonably priced and I get the results that I want right before I use the toner I think do I really need this? It’s not that brassy and then I do it and after I dry my hair I can’t believe the difference that it makes that be said it’s very subtle. I don’t feel like it’s darkening my hair really at all, but it tones down those brassy lights when you’re in between salon appointments. My natural hair color is light to medium brown however, I usually get a full foil of highlights every 6 to 8 weeks which can become very brassy. I’ve used the winter wheat color both times and I am very happy with it.Highly recommend.

Save $ from the salon!
I absolutely love this hair gloss! It made my dark hair look so much shinier and healthier without feeling greasy or heavy. The color looks richer, it helped smooth frizz, and my hair felt incredibly soft afterward. It gave me that fresh salon look at home. Definitely a new favorite!

Great color - easy to use - tough on fine hair
The kit comes in very nice packaging and includes everything you’d expect: gloves, cap, color, activator, conditioner, plus a few extra samples, which is a nice touch. As for the color, it’s fantastic. I followed the instructions exactly and was really impressed with the results. It fully covered my greys, neutralized brassiness, and even had nice dimension for a single-color formula. The shade itself looks rich and natural. Unfortunately, the after-feel is where it fell short for me. My hair wasn’t as soft as it usually is after coloring, tangled easily, and seems to be breaking more than normal. I have fine hair, and while I wanted to love this, I’m not sure my hair can tolerate it long term. Beautiful color results, but those with fine or delicate hair may want to proceed with caution.

Covered my blond and white roots
I was really surprised by this product. I bought the Copper Penny. My hair is between a level 7/8 strawberry blonde with white in patches - not grey, stark white. I left it on for 20 minutes and it covered my blonde roots as well as quite a bit of my white. It's now a beautiful, copper red. I imagine it will fade like all reds but I'm pretty darn impressed with the coverage. I'm only knocking one star off as it left my hair a bit dry.

hair, color, enhancer
Easy to use and leaves a beautiful shine, with no damage to the hair. Definitely, I must buy it again.

Orange but excellent!
Love this stuff! My hair was naturally similar to this colour to this but it’s been going grey and dull. I followed the directions exactly and left it one the least amount of time suggested. It was more orange than I expected but after one extra wash I love it! The package states it does not cover gray, but it did cover all of mine. I hope they keep making it! My hair doesn't seem dry or damaged at all, it feels great!

Good but I would say unattainable at the moment because of the delivery restrictions
I like this product, but this company doesn’t deliver it anymore at my location. I don’t know how can I actually buy it here? It’s just so inconvenient and I really like this product but it’s just that I just counted have it anymore. I don’t know what to say.

i’d avoid unless you’re really desperate specifically for auburn/strawberry blonde hair
it’s alright as a hair dye i guess but it didn’t really do much to my hair colour- but got some fun seeing my hair auburn. for a few days. but to be fair i had dark blonde hair before using it i noticed i lost a bit of hair after using it but that could just be stress from life - or me constantly fixing my hair parting . also if you’re in the uk it’s shipped from america, so takes a long time to be delivered. And you can only use this dye once , as you need to mix two bottles together and once the chemical reaction happens you can’t reuse it. plus you only use like a quarter or half of the dye so it’s really expensive but it was hard to find other auburn hair dyes, so it’s alright i guess. if was cheaper and shipped from uk i’d give it a 4 star rating
