Color Depositing Mask & Glossing Treatment, Golden Brown, 8 Fl Oz | 5G Shade, Semi-Permanent Hair Dye, Infused with Bond Booster & Lusterhance Technology for High-Gloss Shine, Vegan Formula

This is a great product - easy to use, it covered my greys, longer-lasting than expected. However, this “Golden Brown” pulled very red on me. My greys turned copper and my natural dark brown looked very dark auburn. Since this is semi-permanent, the color is gradually fading and I’ve found it staining my bath towel that I wrap around my head after washing. Those “criticisms” are just FYIs, though - the product works very well with great conditioning features and leaving a nice glossy shine. For me, XMondo was a good introduction into the world of DIY semi-permanent color.

The product itself is good quality, easy to use and my hair feels soft and healthy. However, the shade 5G Golden Brown is not “golden” at all. It turned my hair RED. It doesn’t look bad so I’m not too upset about it, however this is not the vibe I had wanted.

I love Brad mondo’s videos on social media. I have watched where people use this product and it’s beautiful. I purchased this with good expectations and was terribly disappointed. I purchased the golden brown. I applied it as per instructions and rinsed it out. My hair was virgin. I do have some gray. It does not cover gray at all. The rest of my hair was purple black! I was a sight! I looked like I dipped the ends of my hair in black shoe polish. Trust me, you do not want to spend money on this mask. I threw it out! $20 down the drain.

Okay, I bleached my hair from probably 4n up to 9. Then I decided to go back to brown, but ended up copper. I decided to try out copper and bought xmondo 7c. It deposited very vivid color, but did nothing to improve the condition of my totally fried hair (pic 1 is I think a couple washes after - I don't have a direct after). I then did a bunch of treatments to close my cuticles and get my hair looking and feeling better (pic 2). Then I wanted to get a richer brunette look so I bought the xmondo 5g and granted that it made my hair shinier, but it went only inky dark and very red. This could be because of the coppery tone of my before, but then why did it pull so dark? So my thinking is that the colors can pull dark on lightened hair and that they don't do a lot for hair condition if your hair is trashed, but I got a good gloss after repairing. That said there aren't great products for semi permanent natural colors so while I wish the 5g gave me a lighter less red result, I'm not sure I have a better option. And while the 7c didn't make my hair feel better, it did give it a vivid true color. So I'd probably buy/use them again.

Sorry, not sorry, Brad Mondo. I love this color. I was super tired of a bleach job that had lifted my no. 4 brown base way too high, so I got this to take it down. It was super easy to do at home with no sloppy drips or stinky formulas. It wasn't any harder than deep-conditioning your own hair, and I think it looks awesome, and my hair feels so much silkier. Thanks for bringing this to market, Brad; we really needed it.

Awesome stuff! I purchased after seeing Brad’s advertisement a few times. Wow! My hair is so soft, shiny and vibrant! I can’t stop feeling my hair! Never has my hair felt so soft, even with expensive deep conditioning treatments. I have thin, fine shoulder-length hair, so it only took maybe 2 tablespoons worth (if even that much) to saturate my hair, so I was pleased that I will get many uses out of the one jar. I will be interested to see how long it lasts, as I shampoo my hair almost every day. So far I love it!

It wasnt golden brown at all. Turned my hair brown red and after a few washes its more red than before. Sad about the color the product is nice enough but it will stain your hands wear gloves!!!!

I had a blonde balayage that was grown out and I wanted to transition back to my natural dark brown. I figured 5G would be golden brown. I have no logical explanation for why it turned my blonde hair RED. Like very very red. Zero box dye or anything of a such on my professional color. waste of money, I would’ve just left the blonde if I’d known this would happen. I don’t recommend this color. Maybe the others are better.

Great product. Smell was not bad, wasn’t runny

Nice product but doesn’t work well on gray hair.

Turned my hair red (not brown) and stained everything in the bathroom

From what I can tell the colour came out looking okay. I had to use more than half the tub to fully saturate my hair and it was difficult to brush through. That being said it did not have the strong hair dye stench that comes with box dyes. With that in mind the product promises hair that feels healthier and looks glossy and that just isn't the case. I purchase Golden Brown but it is very obviously red based, my hair is now auburn. Finally, rinsing this product has stained my bathtub and shower terribly. I have used all tones of permanent box dyes in the past and never have they stained the tub. Using a magic eraser along with comet containing bleach I was able to improve the situation but it still looks lightly stained. So for $40 would I do it again? No. There are other, more affordable demi permanent dyes I will look to in the future. Sorry XMondo this ain't it.

Do not use this is you have mid blond hair. It turned my hair red. On the bright side glossing is great though, my hair feels amazing.
