Review: Kristin Ess’ Signature Gloss Temporary Hair Color

As you can see, my hair did have some brassiness, and I was looking to make the color a little darker to enrich my natural dark brunette hair.

As you can see here, the gloss did neutralize the brassiness in my hair, while enriching my brunette color. What you can not see in this picture is that the gloss did not harm my balayage.

All in all, I LOVE this product! It did everything that it promised to do. It delivered in color, shine, and conditioning. It makes a great product and is perfect if you can’t get to the salon for regular visits.
Kristin Ess not only makes hair color, but also an entire line of hair products including, shampoos, conditioners, scalp care, and styling.
