RITA HAZANUltimate True Color Shine Gloss - Boost Hair Color with Healthy Shine - Shine Gloss for Gray Hair - Deep Conditioning Glazy Hair Gloss Treatment - 3.4 oz. Hair Gloss

It seems, in some of the reviews, that users misunderstand what this product does and doesn’t do. It isn’t going to bring drastically brassy hair back to a cool tone and it isn’t going to be a substitute for a good conditioner. But, if used properly, it will help you keep that post-color sleekness and add longevity to your color!For background, I have gray hair that is lowlighted and highlighted to a sandy blonde. I use a very good shampoo and conditioner (Pureology Hydrate) and wash my hair 3-4 times per week; we have neither hard nor soft water where I live. Before using this product, my hair would maintain the lowlights for about three weeks by which time everything was starting to look a little worn out and sometimes a bit brassy. Most purple shampoos and conditioners seem to dry out my hair and tend to strip the lowlights. Now that I am using this Breaking Brass formula – from the first post-coloring shampoo onward – my color stays truer and my hair is healthier.This is what I do: wash hair, squeeze it as dry as possible then use a dry washcloth to pat hair and pick up more excess water, shake Breaking Brass (this gives you a finer foam), pump 9 times into one hand (# of pumps depends on how much hair you have), split between two hands and apply to crown area then down to ends. IF YOU NEED MORE TONING FOR BRASS, add a pea sized amount of Kenra Brightening Treatment Intense Violet Masque (also sold on Amazon). I twist up my shoulder-length hair and hold it with a claw clip. Now spend some time letting it do its magic – personally, I shave my legs. After 4-5 minutes, remove the claw clip and rinse your hair. Condition with your normal conditioner (again, I use Pureology Hydrate). I clip my hair back up while the conditioner is working and finish my shower. Rinse the conditioner out and style as normal.It’s really made such a difference in my hair – I have it on Subscribe and Save!

I had a bad (yet expensive) highlight a month ago and the toner has worn off to show the orange tones. I need to find products that would bridge me through the next visit (to a different salon.) I purchased the Breaking Brass and didn't realize, but it's a purple-based foam. I was a little disappointed to find it was since over time that can deepen the color. I did still use it and it did seem to tone down the orange. It did make my hair feel a little more conditioned, so I may try the blonde or clear one too. It has a very strong fragrance though, just to be warned, if you are sensitive to that type of thing!

Why is it shipped unsealed and product missing?!?!

I didn’t see any difference in the shine. It was just another thing sitting on a shelf in the shower. Also one more step while in the shower. I wouldn’t buy it again.

We all know going gray is not for the weak. You get frizz and weird waves and bends—seriously, bends—in the most random places, and they appear in multiples along each scary strand if you let it get long enough. This gloss actually changes all of that. Everything gets smooth and even shiny. And soft. And it’s really quick to use. You don’t have to leave it on for a long time. I apply it and rinse it out. It’s my new favorite product.

I've read some unfavorable reviews of this gloss and feel like I need to mention that I found it very effective and useful for what I wanted. Since March 2020 we have been staying at home except for essentials. I haven't been to the salon for a year and I have blonde foil highlights and it is now about 5 inches gray of various shades, some very light, and some gray/brown. I wanted something to add a little shine to the very light gray and sort of even out the bottom highlights. It's not the perfect look that I'd want but it does highlight and brightens the light gray strands enough to look decent. That's really all I wanted it for. But the extra bonus is that it tamed my frizziness which you get when your hair is graying, and it made it soft and younger looking. I'd say I'd use it even if and when I went back to the salon. It's not a dye or something that lifts your color, it is a gloss with some pigment in it. I had good success if I put more on than recommended and left it on for about 10 15 minutes out of the shower, then rinsed and used conditioner. The conditioner that I used is Pantene Sunlit Blonde daily rescue conditioner (only used a tiny tiny amount). I'm happy with the Rita Hazan product. If you have a few gray strands in your hair, colored or not, you could probably benefit from using this. It's not dramatic but made enough of a difference in my hair to buy it again.

Sent back 2 Rita hazen shine together

Works great! But not more than other products I have used. No rave review.

After using this product twice (first for 15min, then the the second time for 1 hour) I did not notice any appreciable difference (shine) to my hair. I expected this to be a gloss as advertised, not a glaze. My first clue was the instructions on the bottle suggesting that you use 2 to 3 times a week. For the price I was very disappointed. Will go back to my old products for shine.

Love love love! Hair after 1 use looked shinier and blonder

THIS PRODUCT GIVES NO SHINE GLOSS TO HAIR.Not recommended.

I don't see a big difference. I guess my hair are too dark to use it probably. Wouldn't purchase again and don't see added brilliance either.

No shine at all. Hair looks more dried out than before!
