it took my bronde hair and made my scalp the true ginger displayed on the box. however, my ends are slightly more red than they were before- I look a bit mismatched. in addition, I dont notice any conditioning aspect from this. my hair is dry and just as poufy as if I hadn't conditioned at all.

Easy and great
Super easy and quick. I have bleached my dark brown hair before and don’t like how my hair shows lighter bleached parts in between salon visits especially because I don’t color my hair anymore so this keeps it all looking put together and the brown color gives it a great warm tone that I was looking for

Overhyped, results do not last long.
My hair is definitely more shiny and slightly more vibrant immediately after use but every time I’ve washed my hair so far I just see all the color getting washed out and I only shampoo my hair once a week. Overly hyped in my opinion.

Not copper but not bad
Do not be fooled by the name, this is not copper. Its most definitely auburn. Its a beautiful, but the 2 are different and if youre looking for copper this is not what you want. I naturally have Light Copper hair and with age its lost its vibrancy so I bought this after seeing reviews. Pros: its very simple to use. 2 steps and youre good to go. The price isn't bad and it will definitely provide pigment. No harsh ammonia smell. Cons: Like I said, its auburn NOT COPPER. Its goving Julia Roberts when I wanted Princess Merida. My hair was so dark auburn wet it looked almost ruby red. It lightened a little after it was dry, but it wasn't what I was going for or what I wanted. Its sooo dark. The smell isnt pretty, not super strong but definitely a hint of wet dog mixed with rubbing alcohol. It dried my hair out. I have wavy hair, not colored, never use heat, and its always pretty soft but after the initial rinse in the shower it felt like straw. Thank goodness for good conditioner.

Just box color
Please beware of the copper one I used it on my hair and I look like pennywise. Nothing like the nice copper on the box

10/10 will buy again
This brought my hair back to its natural color from 20 years ago without it looking flat I still have my natural highlights and low lights. I am absolutely obsessed! It also makes your hair incredibly shiny without the oily look. I also intentionally left my gray steaks out and they blend in beautifully.

New formula not the same!
I used to love this gloss and probably used it every 4-6 weeks, but BEWARE they recently changed the formula and it’s more BROWN red than the copper color is used to be. I’m a natural redhead and used it just like photo on back of box, to enhance my natural color. My hair is now ruined and I’m incredibly sad. I have read other reviews that said the box included the wrong product and while the exterior box said ‘copper penny’, the inside developer/color was brown. This was not the case for me, both items said ‘copper penny’, but both turned out brownish red.

Leaves hairs shiny and soft!
When using a hair gloss, i like buying Kristin Ess brand. I have highlights on my hair and i have used their toner and it leaves my hair feeling so soft and making my hair color even in between salon visits. I do have a lot of hair so i have to use two boxes, a bit pricey but worth it.

Change like weeks
The pigment is great but the colour bleeds!!!! It gets on everything. The red will take over again like it did last time. It's still beautiful, bit it's sad to see my yellows and oranges deepen as thes red takes over before they all begin to fade (right about time for me to head back to my stylist). The colours are ever changing and shifting with each wash because the red that rinses out (even in plain, cold water) deepens thes lighter tones. I don't mind the ever- shifting hair. It's fun and looks like I visit the salon much more often than I actually do.

Great gloss
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time trying a gloss and i couldn't have been more impressed. Scent was not overpowering. Application was easy if you follow the instructions. Shine was immaculate and it actually left my hair very soft. I love the little gift (the detangler) it is soo pretty

my hair looks shiny
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well well… Not really impressed with the results. Nice toning of multidimensional warm blond hair. Blended my root grow out beautifully. I think it worth buying between appointments for a little better color. I applied the product as a hair mask and let it sit for 30 min (20 min was recommended) Then got back in the shower to shampoo and condition. Package is simple and easy to use, amount is enough for medium length hair. If u have long hair I recommend to use 2 packages. I can definitely say that my hair just looks healthier and fresh, shiny and glossy, but not much color difference.

Perfect!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re tired of not knowing how to make your hair have that gloss, then this is the perfect product. The packaging was great and the texture was okay but this products work in 10-15 mins and that’s amazing!!! It does not have a strong scent so that’s great!

Absolutely amazing product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this in place of coloring my hair. It gives an amazing boost in shine. It has almost no odor which is an absolute plus. I love how the color stays for weeks and keeps hair looking and feeling amazing. Covered my grays. Hair felt absolutely soft. The instructions are very easy to understand and using the product was a breeze. Comes in a simple packaging. Was really impressed with the results. Definitely worth it.

Super easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually go for fantasy hair color but I got this and tried it. It’s not to bad. Probably wouldn’t do it again with this particular color because I don’t see much difference. The application is super easy. The smell is pretty much non existent. And it didn’t stain my shower or my skin. I may not have picked the correct color for my hair which could be why I don’t see much difference. But overall the formula and product is pretty nice!

Be cautious
WRONG COLOR! The box and everything I got said copper penny. Behold my surprise when I dry my hair and my previous ginger hair is a chocolate brown. I have never been more devastated.
