Hair loss and super drying
After hearing people rave about this gloss product for years I thought I would try it out in between dye appointments. Never again. First of all, it had my hair falling out in complete chunks and it made my hair feel super dry (isn’t this supposed to be a gloss?), plus there was almost no discernible change in color on my hair. An absolute waste of money.

Warning: Very Dark!
Didn’t give the glossy effect I was looking for. Definitely not a smooth, silky treatment. It’s also VERY dark, almost black. It is easy to apply and I’m so appreciative it includes gloves!

Inconsistent results
I’m writing a review after buying this product twice - each time there was a different outcome, leading me to conclude that there must be vast inconsistencies across its production. The first time I bought it, there was too much developer to fit all the color in at once. And even then, the viscosity of the liquid was complete water - it dripped all over and just ran from my hair. The final effect was a glossy finish but no noticeable color. The second time I tried this, about 4 weeks later, the viscosity was completely different. It was like what you see in TikTok videos- thick, creamy, like a normal hair color consistency. It applied way easier though the final product was a DRASTIC different in my hair color. It looked almost black it was so dark. And not at all glossy. I have no idea how this product is actually supposed to turn out because of these vastly different experiences. It’s been a waste of $30 overall and completely inconsistent - and so I would t recommend it.

Easy and amazing
Amazing product. So easy to use and makes it look like I went to the salon. I felt so confident and it made my previously been bleached hair in certain spots look more put together as the toner w wears off. Easy to apply and looks great

NOT a gloss - beware
Thought this would be a “gloss” treatment similar to what I get done from my stylist. Did it in hopes of holding out another month or two. Followed instructions exactly for this warm gold brown gloss to make my hair really dark black. Not only did it do that, but it covered all my highlights and still months later it has never came out of those. So now I’m starting from square one and a color correction. Beware of the name “gloss” because it did not end up that way.

A great wallet-saving option!
Four stars for the cost and ease of use! I have VERY long hair and one box was all I needed! I do think people should watch several videos before using to find someone with your hair color to see what it will look like after. I had a brassy grown out caramel balayage and wanted to go for one solid dark brown. This gloss delivered! I did wash out after 15 minutes instead of 20 thought. Before (beach picture) and after (grey sweater) are posted (:

Dyed my hair
I think the gloss part of this is great but to say that it's not a hair dye is outlandish. I had a true chocolate color and highlights and now my hair is dark brown and now doesn't match my extensions, I'm going to have to damage my hair more to lighten it back because the color is not coming out. if I buy this again, I absolutely will only get the clear color. If you're not ready to be a dark brown girly don't get this. I have gotten compliments on the way that my hair looks and the color but it's not the color that I wanted. Your hair will be dark dark brown. Not chocolate brown.. maybe dark chocolate. The photo on the back of the box is super misleading and I truthfully don't believe they used the chocolate Cosmo on her hair because how did it get lighter/brighter? They used a different gloss on the model.. but the gloss part works for sure.

Get It!!
Already have dark brown hair so it did nothing g regarding color shade. However the gloss. OMG!! Literally silky hair. I did a blow out right after and looks as if I walked out of the salon. My hair looks & feels healthy. Especially since I am 4 months PP and have bad split ends, I needed this!! Also, no crease on my hair after a pony tail!

Works great and temporary
Really covered my grays! Washes out slowly so it’s nice for a little non permanent change!

Stellar
Ever since I started having to have a base color I have struggled with brassiness. This is the ONLY thing I have found that works, including getting toners at the salon. It does darken my highlights a bit but I absolutely LOVE cool tones. You will definitely notice a difference

Chocolate Cosmo
easy application, thought i'd need 2 boxes because i have long hair, but one was more than enough! the instructions were easy to follow, i have really sensitive skin, but i had no negative effects! the color stayed for about 3 weeks (i was my hair every other day) i have medium brown hair and i used this to deepen and darken my hair and i LOVE the results!!🥰 it made my dull, frizzy hair so soft and shiny without looking greasy. 10/10 recommend!

Chocolate Cosmo not good.
Do not use unless you want your hair to be black. It shows it’s more of a chocolate brown which is what my hair naturally is and I was trying to tone the brassy minimal highlights in my hair and it turned it black.

I purchased this product a few weeks back and decided to do it over the weekend and wow! The color was darker than expected but it ended up looking amazing anyway. The next day I was standing in front of my bathroom mirror which has a window adjacent and I saw the reflection of my neighbors house on my hair! I took this video the night I did it after blow drying and straightening. I’m still getting compliments 6 days later
