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, while neutralizing warmth on color treated or natural bronde (between dark blonde and light brown) hair. It will help you keep your color looking fresh, shiny and healthy between appointments. Choose this color if you have dark blonde or light brown hair (aka: bronde) and want to neutralize or tone down warmth. 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. WHO NEEDS THIS? anyone with dark blonde or light brown hair (aka: bronde) looking to tone down warmth and enhance 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 hair color looks too warm 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.

    • Hair Gloss
Style: Dark Smokey Blonde
I tried the Kristin Ess Hair Gloss in Smokey Topaz (Medium Neutral Blonde) and I’m really pleased with it! The shade gave my blonde hair a soft, natural‑looking tone without turning it too brassy or too warm. It added a nice glossy shine that made my hair look healthier and more vibrant right away. Application was easy — I just applied it like a conditioner after shampooing and left it on for the recommended time. It rinsed out cleanly and didn’t make my hair feel heavy or sticky. The color fade has been gradual and subtle, which I like because it doesn’t look patchy as it wears off. Overall, great product if you want a gentle tone and shine boost between salon visits. Definitely would buy again! ... show more

    • Must have!
Style: Dark Smokey Blonde
I have been trying to get back to my natural color. But the hair dresser either does low lights and I turn red/orange or I ask for some highlights for some dimension and get full blonde. I was tired of spending lots of money on not what I wanted. I did a lot of searching and new a toner would help but was so worried since I have always had to go to the salon for it. I am soo happy with how it turned out. I was pretty blonde and worried so I only left it on for 15 minutes. And it did a great job but next time I will definitely do the full time if not longer as I still have a little brassyness left. But it looks natural and exactly what iv been trying to accomplish! I have short hair and even used the left over of the bottle on my daughter who has brown hair and it took the brass ends out and made her hair look fresh! ... show more

I get lowlights in my hair every couple months but they seem to fade so quickly leaving my hair looking like straw. I left the smoky topaz gloss in for about 15 minutes and I LOVE the result! It’s so rich and left a lot of the natural color variation on my hair. I have very fine, thinning hair and this seemed very gentle, I did not lose any more hair than I usually do in the shower while rinsing this out. I will be using this between every salon appt! ... show more

    • This product will NOT cover greys, don’t bother
Style: Dark Smokey Blonde
After using the product my hair was horribly brittle and wasn’t before and I have a handful of greys it didn’t cover. It was ok to somewhat cover and gloss but not worth what I paid for it. I will not buy it again.

    • Absolutely not worth it
Style: Dark Smokey Blonde
No shine, no toning down the brass, basically nothing this product offered in the description. It was also a bit messy and very strong smell. Even after shampooing. I sleep with my hair in a bonnet otherwise I don't think I would've been able to sleep that night due to the smell. Bummed that I put these chemicals on my hair for no reason. ... show more

I’ve been experimenting with my own hair since Covid, and enjoy it so much I have continued and avoided paying too much at salons. I have been doing “ombré” hair, or at least that’s how it started. I don’t mess with my natural, medium brown on top, just the ends that slowly fade to a very bleach blonde. Over the years I’ve purposely bleached my front pieces that frame my face, and accidentally got bleach above my ear - which i’ve turned into a “money piece” (random chunk of hair that’s bleach blonde from root to end. I love doing my own hair (it’s therapeutic in a way, and so satisfying when it comes out better than I expected, even more satisfying when someone compliments my hair (it doesn’t always turn out great, I’ve definitely made some opes. However, the one thing that always trips me up, is the toning. If I want to tone my dark orange/copper mid-section, I have to use a 5A or light ash brown/dark ash blonde. While this works fantastic on the brassy part, it’s proven very difficult to avoid getting that darker toner mixed in with my bleached ends. Admittedly, this was easier before I started adding the front pieces and accidental money piece in the mix. Then whenever I tone the blonde to be less yellow and more of a natural hue, it comes out either gray or purple, or it only tones the very blonde and leaves a light orange mess behind. I’ve tried everything from demi/semi and permanent hair dyes and toners, to purple masks, purple shampoos - everything from the popular and affordable drug store brands, to the more expensive salon-quality brands. I was looking to try something new, basically just a toner or purple shampoo/mask but a different brand, and I came across this. I’ve used Kristen Ess products before (I looooove her hair detangler spray and swear by it) so I knew it was a good brand with affordable yet “expensive-looking” and high quality products. I searched through reviews on this Amazon page, as well as the Kristen Ess website & google images, for before-and-after photos, but mostly people just posted photos of the box 😭 and left vague reviews. I watched so many videos and tried to get an idea of how this would help with my brass, without darkening the blonde (too much) or turning it purple. Not much luck but… I decided to just go for it. I got the color “Smoky Topaz.” I love that it was a good price, no harsh or stinky chemicals (ammonia), and wasn’t permanent. So if I really messed up I could easily fix it with a quick bleach bath or color remover. I know it says “in shower” but I found it so much easier to rinse my hair with warm water in the sink and throw it up in a towel until it was damp, but not still dripping wet. A lot of videos I watched, girls put this directly on dry hair- while it is true that dry hair may absorb product much more quickly, in my experience, working with wet or (preferably) towel-dried hair helps so much with making sure the product is evenly dispersed. With dry hair, you can end up with patchy and uneven results. I mixed the product and started at my midsection which needed the most color-change. I noticed reviews here mentioning that it smells bad- have they never used hair bleach or dye with ammonia?! That’s open-a-window bad. This, on the other hand, smelled mostly medicinal in a way, but wasn’t overpowering and didn’t bother me one bit. After applying to my entire midsection, front pieces, and money piece, I mixed the rest into my ends and combed through to make sure every strand was evenly coated. I wrapped it up in a microfiber towel (since they are not very absorbent. But a shower cap, plastic wrap, or even a plastic bag work better! I just didn’t have any on me). I saw a few videos where girls rinsed after 10 minutes and didn’t see any results, so I decided to leave mine on for roughly 25-30 minutes, since my brass was BRASSIN. Next, I hopped in the shower and used shampoo as normal. I have very oily roots and dry, knotty hair, so I was surprised when I was able to run my fingers through my hair after just adding the shampoo! It felt like I was rinsing out a deep conditioner, rather than my shampoo. I then conditioned as normal. I let my hair towel/air dry for accurate before & after photos. Results: it definitely toned down the less severe brass, and darkened the blonde more than I thought it would. However, it got rid of ALL yellow and light orangey pieces. The darker brass is still there, perhaps toned down just a bit. This stuff did make my hair super soft and shiny! I shared 2 before photos and 2 after, each with the flash on and with just natural lighting. Hair looks much brassier in the flash photos, but is more subtle in person. I labeled the photos in case they upload out of order. All said and done, I would definitely use this product again, although maybe in a different shade. I think I’d try a darker neutralizer on the midsection, then blend with a lighter toner gloss on the ends. I do love that this isn’t damaging to my hair like other toners (I do enough of that on my own with the bleach) and that it will wash out in 8 weeks or so. I would recommend this particular shade for those with medium brown hair who want to get rid of yellowing or brassy highlights, or for those who just freshly bleached and want a more natural color (keep in mind, this *did* darken my level 8 or 9 ends to a 6 or 7, so not recommended for bleach blondes looking to just get rid of yellowing- try a much lighter shade!) ... show more

    • Great for grown out highlights in between salon visits
Style: Dark Smokey Blonde
Review Image by Sparkliest

Really like how it toned down the brassiness of my outgrown highlights and blended my root color into the highlights as I don’t have time to get to a salon these days. It definitely was subtle enough but noticeable as well. I learned early on in life not to mess with box dyes so this gloss was an awesome alternative. The smell was nice not too overpowering and I sprayed my hair wet before I used it. I did not shower first. The label says in shower but I don’t know how anyone could do this in the shower. I washed it out after 20 minutes to get the full effects. I’m happy with it and will use it again when it washes out. ... show more
