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/cuticlesRecommendation - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SINGLE GREATEST HOME HAIR COLOR EVER!!!!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 4, 2021*

GOT ORANGE HAIR? GREAT HAIR DYE FAIL SOLUTION!Love this gloss. I plan to buy it every month for the next two years while I grow out a hair dye fail. I have orangey hair that can't be bleached because my strand test turns green, gets hot, and smokes... My only choice is to cover it up, grow it out, and cut it off incrementally. I wanted something that would cover up the orange and not dye the roots. I saw this in a Brad Mondo video, so I decided to give it a try:- Before photo: My hair fail... I have level 8 blonde hair which I accidentally dyed orange, then had to cover up with black for a couple of years. I got the black out during quarantine using Metally B + 10 peroxide and washing with Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo over and over again. I then covered it up with level 8 Clairol Natural Instincts, but it grabbed an uneven level 4, lifted my hair too much, and turned the new growth orange too.- Round 1 - Middle photo - I did an intermediary step of using the Smokey Topaz color to tame the orange. It did a little.. but still looked orange in the sun. I let it wash out and was relieved to find that my roots had not lifted to the point they were orange. The roots stayed the same color and washed out completely in about 3 weeks. The rest of my hair was back to orange in about 6 weeks. So it basically went back to the before photo. It is important to note that they have a video online on how to apply this gloss... Watch very carefully exactly how they handle the hair while it is applied and how they let it sit. I had a hard time getting started the first time and wasn't careful enough on the first section... There was a considerable amount of mid-strand breakage there. Not a big deal since I was planning on cutting it off anyway... But if you are trying to save the length, have a friend help you. It might even be worth getting it cut first so none of the dead dry ends tangle and cause breakage further up the strands.- Round 2 - No photo - This time I used Bittersweet (I knew from the Brad Mondo video it wouldn't be black... it's a really pretty ash blonde color... but it will take the brass out of anything which is probably why the model is black... that hair type has a lot of orange hair issues.) I loved it as soon as I saw it, even when it was wet. It evenly coated the roots and the new growth. I also loved it when it washed out 4 weeks later and left my roots unlifted. I almost thought about just leaving it and not dying it, but it would have probably kept washing out and I wanted what was left to be filler for the next layer. I will say that the dyed part I cut off looked very "flat" once the gloss part was gone. I had so much mid-strand breakage round 1, I decided to cut off as much as I could first, then apply the gloss. When I cut off 4 inches at the salon yesterday, I looked at it on the floor and the color was so flat and even I had a hard time seeing the individual strands on top of each other. The roots I had covered up were still "normal" though... So once the dyed part is all gone, flat color won't be an issue. I did notice that the color was a little streaky in spots the first week. Probably needed a second coat.- Round 3: After photo. 3 weeks in on Round 2, so the first box of Bittersweet was a good primer for the second box. No streakiness. I applied the gloss 2 days ago and took a shower yesterday. This is my result. I have about 3 inches of the old hair color that can't be bleached left to grow out. I have a few strands of grey here and there that the dye doesn't stick to, but not a big deal. I don't see any of the streakiness this time around... Probably because I did the second box 3 weeks after the first box so it was a primer.Also, it came off my bathtub very easily with Comet.

First let me say that I am 72 years old. I have been coloring my hair for more years and I can remember. I was a natural blonde that just got darker with age. I spent a fortune maintaining the blonde color but that comes with a high price. After breast cancer treatment and I lost my hair it came back in a dingy grayish blonde. I didn't want to put harsh chemicals on it anymore so I thought I would give this hair gloss a try. I use the honey latte color and followed the directions and I must say that I am impressed with the golden blonde tone it left in my hair and it made it very soft and silky. I do have short hair so one box was plenty for me. I would definitely get this again. The only thing negative I can say is the smell was unpleasant. I'm so glad I found this because it will save my hair and give me some soft color.
