Purchases cool medium brunette.I am a low maintenance hair type of girl with 3 young kids so it’s really hard getting to a salon..This product was just what I was looking for.. a shine boost of my natural color and to cover up grays (fyi my grays are minimal and around my face-this product covered them perfectly, I left it in for 20mins).I also feel like it blended my hair better and got rid of the brassy tones from old highlights.PS: the before pic is my hair brushed out with no product and not blow dried. I would use this again and I love that the bottle has multiple uses. Also rinsed out easily and did not stain my shower after.

I bought medium blonde at the suggestion of another review. My natural hair color is medium to dark brown with a decent amount of grey and some year-old balayage growing out. I originally tried some of the brown shades and I liked them, but they covered all the blonde highlights as well as toning down the grey. The medium blonde created a much prettier result! The overall tone of my hair is now bright, shiny and vibrant. The balayage is visible but also blended in, and the grey appears a little less grey. My hair looks like I've been on a beach vacation. Really impressed that I could get this result at home in a few minutes.

Hi,First time using this product and I'm overall happy with it! I have long thick hair and used liberally (probably like 1/5th of the bottle for this first session)Because I used so much product I didn’t have any streaking complaints like some of the other reviews. I def think you need a lot of product for thick hair. It comes out very thick like a cream so it doesn't spread too easily to use sparingly.I did not notice any smell with this product. It did lightly stain my skin originally so after all product was on my hair and I was waiting the 20 minutes to process I wiped off any access product on my forehead and eyebrows easily. I didn’t have any staining after that but I wouldn't be surprised if you leave it on your skin too long it probably does stain so just be mindful. I also wear gloves.I did pre shampoo my hair before using it on damp hair. I let it set for 20 minutes. I rinsed with warm water afterwards and didn’t have any staining on my white towels after. I did not use conditioner afterward. Just a moisturizing spray.Overall, I do feel like it took the brass out of my hair with one session. Now just need to see if it'll last 4 weeks which is my hopes or if it'll take out more brass with multiple uses.My photos are from using the product one time for 20 minutes. Of note, I only have old highlights at the ends of my hair from a voltage two years ago otherwise this product was used on healthy unprocessed hair.

Wanted to try a penny-like copper on my completely virgin medium/dark brown hair. I figured a gloss like this in Copper would be a good temporary way to test out whether or not I liked the color, but didn’t have high expectations starting with quite a dark base color. I did a strand test first using hair from my brush and it seemed to give it just a tint of copper, so I took the plunge on my whole head.I used a clarifying shampoo in the shower, then applied this with gloves on very damp hair and clipped it up for the rest of my shower, about 15 mins, then rinsed out. I have fine, thin hair about 4” past my shoulders and used about 1/5 of the bottle for this. I was pretty surprised by how long it took to rinse out - pink/coral water just kept coming and coming with no end…I felt like I was rinsing all the color out!Finally I decided I couldn’t rinse any longer...And got out of the shower to see my scalp dyed bright Halloween orange! So it was back in the shower and did some more scrubbing and rinsing to try to remove the scalp stains (which helped a little but my scalp was very much still bright orange for multiple days afterwards - thank goodness I did it on a weekend where I didn't have to be anywhere). Once dry, I could see my roots tinged ever so subtly red-copper but there was absolutely nothing on my lengths or ends. I figured maybe my base color is just too dark for this color, but decided to try one more time.The second time, I decided to apply it to dry hair to see if that would help it take more color. I applied it dry (used much more product this time, about 1/3 bottle) and let it sit for about 30+ mins before rinsing it out in the shower (no shampoo). Same rinsing scenario - I must have been under the water for 10+ minutes doing nothing but rinsing and rinsing, and coral pink was still pouring from my hair until I eventually gave up. So don’t expect this to rinse clear!You can see the results from my photos - you can definitely notice a red/copper tint to it, which was more obvious in person and in direct sunlight! I imagine if you’re starting with a lighter base color, you’d definitely see more result. No real noticeable results in terms of glossiness, softness, nor shine, but my hair is fairly healthy to begin with.Besides my scalp being orange for days, another big con was the fragrance: I’m used to using all fragrance-free products so the smell of this was incredibly perfumey to me. The nights after using it, I kept waking up feeling like I and my pillow were just engulfed in this strong perfumey fragrance. Would have been much nicer if it had no added fragrance and that alone makes me hesitant to use it again.It washed out to the point where it wasn’t noticeable anymore after only about 3-4 washes. I wash my hair every other day so for me this meant it lasted only about one week. And I had to use a towel and pillowcase I didn’t mind getting stained the whole time since so much color poured out every shower and it was staining my white towel (luckily this came out in the wash).Overall: since my base color is already quite dark and it only lasted about 1 week on me, I can’t say it would be worth using this again. The scalp staining and the fragrance make it even less worth it. But it definitely worked for a subtle tint. Apply it dry for the most color deposit. And if you’re starting with a lighter base color, I imagine the results could be pretty dramatic.

I’ve been copper for a couple years and recently decided to go a butter blonde. My natural is light brown. We did a couple full highlights on my hair and it just felt like some highlights were too white and it really clashed with the remaining copper. After reading a lot of reviews I got the light blonde shade to use and hopefully at least at a tiny bit of warmth to the white bits to have everything blend better during this transition. I applied it to clean damp hair and left it for 10 mins. It’s a subtle but superrr effective change. I feel like my hair looks more even and the tone is way more flattering. Yes my hair isn’t perfect how I eventually want it but this is much better in the meantime until all the copper is gone and a slightly lighter and more butter blonde can be achieved. If your hair is too white/processed and want a richer warmer blonde I would recommend this!!!
