## Overview

Kristin Ess Hair Gloss in Bittersweet Dark Brunette is a 3-4 week semi-permanent, in-shower hair dye glaze designed to boost shine, neutralize brassiness, and protect color-treated or natural dark brown hair.

## Description

I always recommend that my clients come to get glossed and toned between salon visits to extend the life of their color. I’m finally able to give them, and you, something that is easy to use at home. This in-shower treatment is formulated to instantly boost vibrancy and shine, and adds depth to color treated or naturally dark brown hair. It will help you keep your color looking fresh, shiny and healthy between appointments. Choose this color if you have dark brown hair and want to neutralize or tone out any warmth or brassiness. VIBRANCY BOOSTING TECHNOLOGY: creates a protective shield over the hair to instantly boost shine and help lock-in your color. ANTI-OXIDANT COMPLEX: smooths and softens hair from root to tip making hair more manageable. ALKALINE NEUTRALIZING SYSTEM: protects from color fading by preventing hard water minerals from being deposited onto the hair and scalp. LET’S TALK… WHO NEEDS THIS? anyone with dark brown hair looking to tone down brassiness and boost shine. WHAT IS IT? in-shower treatment that nourishes strands and restores vibrancy. WHEN DO I USE IT? in-between salon visits or any time your color looks dull or “brassy”. WILL IT COVER gray HAIR? ammonia-free formula will not lift, lighten or cover grays. IS IT PERMANENT? color lasts 3-4 weeks and will gradually fade, depending on how often you shampoo.

Review: Excellent Product - Will Use Again! - I have brunette hair on the dark side of medium brown. I had been getting it professionally dyed but regular salon visits just aren’t in the budget right now so I picked this up after reviews on TikTok. I got Bittersweet Dark Brunette as it’s about the salon color I get. There are gloves in the box and the two bottles mixed easily enough. I’d recommend swirling instead of vigorously shaking it, let it sit for a minute then give it a gentle shake again as the product gets thicker as it mixes. I washed my hair with a clarifying shampoo first to get any product and build up out of my hair and rinsed throughly, rough towel dried my hair then applied the product. It applied easily enough and the smell wasn’t super strong but not overly pleasant (smelled mildly of wet dog). I let it sit on my hair for about 30 minutes then washed it out with Kristen Ess shampoo and conditioner. I got it EVERYWHERE on my skin and it washed right off but where I touched my shower with a dye covered hand did stain my shower. Rinsing didn’t stain my shower and it didn’t have any bleed out on the towel afterward. I used very tepid water to rinse it and wash my hair. It covered grays and previously lightened areas and it left my hair soft. I put a random leave in conditioner in afterward as a precaution since other reviews said it made their hair dry. I will probably do a hair mask before my next wash too. One bottle was more than enough to get all of my fine, thick, mid back length hair. I would absolutely use this again.
Review: Great product, great color - Easy, easy in your hair and great coverage. I colored my hair just two weeks ago with an amethyst hair color (not this products brand) and not only did it fry my hair. It stripped all of the color out of my hair and left it gray annd orange with bright purple roots. This product fixed all of those issues and left my hair feeling amazing. I could not be happier. In the photos below, the first picture was taken just before I colored my hair with the other brand and I did it just to cover my roots. The second photo was taken after coloring my hair with the other brand literally days later and the third photo was taken one day after using this product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Way better “Cowboy Copper” than Overtone and Keracolor
*by G***Y on January 22, 2024*

Okay so I used a mix of Overtone’s Ginger and Honey Blonde for ever to get a slightly more vibrant ginger color from my natural ginger, until they discontinued Honey Blonde. Then I went to Keracolor’s Copper and Honey, but the price for the honey recently skyrocketed from like $20 per 33oz bottle to nearly $60! I also had a lot of trouble with both transferring on my pillows or knit hats, even when I wasn’t sweating and my hair wasn’t wet, and the color faded quickly with washes. I was really nervous to try the Kristen Ess Copper Penny, especially because I was only buying the 1 bottle and not mixing anything since I’m sick of doing that. I was nervous it would come out orange like the other two brands when not mixed. But, it’s winter and I’m not going out much so I figured what do I have to lose. When I first saw the color in the bottle I was very nervous- it was a DARK orangey color. It also had an odd lemony chemical smell which I didn’t love. The texture is definitely runny, im used to a thicker conditioner like consistency. The only bottle was plenty for my very thin hair, but if I had any more hair than I do I would need at least another bottle to get full coverage. I did apply it dry even though the directions say to do it wet, so that probably affected how far it went. For my hair applying glosses dry helps them last a lot longer. I left it on for the recommended amount of time, and rinsed with cold water. It took for EVER to rise out fully, which surprised me, but no biggie. I used an old orange pool towel to dry, and some color definitely transferred to that, but once it was dry I was OBSESSED. It’s the perfect shade of ginger for me. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on it from family and friends. I try not to wash my hair too much in general, but I have washed it once pretty thoroughly with hot water since applying. It did transfer to the towel again, but I don’t notice any difference in the color of my hair since then. It also has not transferred to any of my sheets or anything while I’m sleeping- Mega win!! My hair is soft, shiny and feels very healthy. If you’re looking for a solid, decently lasting Cowboy Copper type color, Kristen Ess is where it’s at.
