Glaze Color Conditioning Gloss - Tinted Moisturizer for Brown or Red Hair, Boosts Color and Shine, Repairs Damage - Auburn Spice, 6.4 oz

I am a natural redhead whose hair has faded to a dark blonde/light brown at 40. So, I decided to try to brighten it back up with this glaze. The first time I used it on damp hair for 20 minutes and felt the results were nice, but rather patchy.The second and subsequent times, I used it on dry hair. I used a toothbrush to apply it from roots to ends and focused more attention on areas that hadn't taken it as well. This worked much better. 20 minutes, then I got into the shower and used a small amount of water to massage it all through my hair and set for another 5-10 minutes while I exfoliated and shave etc. This gave a much better result.My hair is curly, low porosity, lightweight and fine hair. As a result, this gloss will not last ten shampoos. I wash my hair 1-2 times a week and redo this routine about every 2 weeks. My hair looks very similar to what it looked like as a kid with this routine. In bright sunlight it has a little rose hue that doesn't look as authentic.

I had blonde highlights until I got my hair colored a beautiful, rich mid-tone brown about 4 months ago. I've colored it brown now twice professionally at a salon, and love it for the first few weeks, but found it fades within a month or two since the professional brown color was applied over previously bleached hair. So instead of spending another several hundred dollars at a salon I thought I'd give a home semi-permanent glaze a go..Do not.This product is really best for natural brunettes or those who have never bleached or colored their hair in a way that opened the hair shaft. I had the color on my 10 mins as prescribed and it turned by ends BLACK. Blue-black to be specific. Then after 1 wash, they're a dark teal (as in this photo). It looks like manic panic and is uneven and patchy.Ease of Use: This product is really no easier than a regular home box dye. It gets absolutely everywhere, doesn't come with gloves to protect you from staining, which by god it stains everything immediately. My nails were dark blue/black for days and it immediately stained the marble in my bathroom.Packaging: The bottle is poorly designed and doesn't let you get the product out without crushing it, which rendered it impossible to use for future uses.The instructions were useless and said nowhere on the packaging itself not to use on highlights or that the bottle was 2-3 uses worth of product. No one is going online to read what a bottle should tell us. They cheaped out on packaging by not giving an external box with surface area for more text to explain how to best use the product and chose a poor bottle shape and hardness instead for a cuter aesthetic experience.Update:I had to spend 5 hours in a hair salon professionally removing this dye from my hair. It took the colorist 2 rounds of 1 hour applications of color extractor sulfur to pull the blue dye out. She stressed that this is not a semi-permanent dye if it is this difficult to remove. The labelling of this as a "tinted moisturizer for your hair" is super misleading and not true to the staying power of the dye on highlighted hair. This attaches permanently to highlighted hair. It cost me $400 to remove and color over. Won't use again.

this is so perfect!!! i have naturally black/raven hair, but i lightened it and dyed it bright red during the pandemic. to this day, i keep having to dye it back to black but it fades to a mousy brown at the ends after a while. this leaves my hair SOOOO glossy and touches up the color to keep it raven/black without damaging my hair! i will repurchase this a million times

I wanted the impact of going red without the commitment, which lead me down the rabbit hole of color depositing hair masks. Honestly, I went with this one becuase of the price and convenience of ordering it on Amazon.I would recommend having a friend on stand by to help you out this in your hair; it’s super difficult to make sure it’s fully covered on your own. The design of the bottle also make it’s hard to squeeze without an extra set of hands. I have very fine, but dense hair and my partner and I spent over an hour making sure it was fully saturated, section by section. In the first picture you will see natural, virgin hair - dirty blonde with some natural low & highlights. The color looked good as I let it sit for 20 minutes and I was getting excited, but when I rinsed it out I was so disappointed there wasn’t much color pay off. So I tried again. And then again. After 3 times, I was content with the way the color turned out (picture 2) but then I went out into the sun 😳. Natural light made it glaring obvious where the color didn’t take and made it look like a bad, patchy dye job. I wore my hair up whenever I was outside but I suppose the silver lining is that, when indoors (where I spend 99% of my time) my hair looked fine - Good, even!After all 3 applications, I ended up using the entire bottle on my collar bone length hair trying to even the color out, but no luck (3rd picture). At this point, I accepted it for what it was and figured it would wash out eventually so no worries. It has been 2 weeks since my initial application and I have washed my hair probably 4 times, but shampoo twice each shower to speed up the fading process. The problem is, though, the color has almost complete washed out of my roots and baby hairs, but is staying pretty saturated on the ends. I know the company does warn of staining on light blonde hair, and I do have some naturally lighter pieces, so I took that risk when I applied it. but It seems to have washed off of the lightest parts and is clinging to the rest? it looks bizarre to have blonde roots and red ends.I think the intended use of this product is to refresh hair that is already that color, not offer drastic color changes. I also didn’t really notice my hair being any softer (in fact, I lost ALOT of hair in the “dying” process but I can’t 100% say it’s because of this product).TL;DR I wouldn’t recommend using this to drastically change your hair color b/c the bottle design is hard to use, the color didn’t apply uniformly, and it doesn’t fade/wash out evenly.
