Seems to work
I really hesitated to buy this because of the price and I wasn't sure how it would work but Ulta has such a libral return policy I thought I would try it. I used this when my hair had a lot of gray roots and I should have been using a box color like I usually do so this was a pretty tough test of th...

Does not work!
Discovered this at Ulta by accident. I was excited about this product. I'm getting tired of root touch ups every 2 weeks. Well it did nothing. I left it on for 40 mins. As I was waiting, it looked like my roots were turning golden brown. I needed darker, but I would have been fine with it. Washed ...

A subtle glow-up for dark brown hair
I'm so happy with how this turned out. My hair is very dark, and I was a little nervous that Medium Brown wouldn't show up, but it gave my hair the prettiest, rich brown warmth and so much shine. It still looks like my hair, just healthier and softer. My curls also looked really bouncy afterward. Such an easy little at-home refresh; I would absolutely repurchase.

Don't You Dare
I purchased this during the 21 days of beauty event at 50% off and was thrilled to get a copper gloss that looked to be of higher quality than what I had been using for the same price. I went in with way too much confidence. Never again. I had a funeral to attend and wanted a quick touchup. Unfortunately, the color only deposited on the lower half of my hair. With no time to fix it, I had to rock ombré copper like it was a happy mistake. I assure you it wasn't. I immediately returned both bottles that afternoon. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Just wonderful
Have used multiple shades
1. Cool tone seekers beware. 2. Don't over process. Shorter time = salon look; longer time = box dye look. 3. "Blends" gray but doesn't cover. I've used multiple Brown shades and the clear gloss. Over the years they have tweaked the formula so that it's less red toned, But I still wouldn't call any of the colors cool. I find the cool tones deposit as cool-neutral and fade to warm. Neutral shades are warm. Warm shades are VERY warm. The cool medium brown faded to auburn on my brown hair after 2-3 washes. I don't mind, I'm a true neutral so it all works on me, but it's annoying not being able to truly tone out brass, you're really just swapping it for warm tones. I use it to "integrate" my grays, I really like how the gloss over the gray doesn't fully cover the gray but it kind of "matches" it to the rest of my hair. It looks natural but polished. I also don't recommend leaving it more than 20 minutes as it will dull your hair. If you want a richer color, do multiple sessions over a few days or use it consistently once a week. I actually think even 20 minutes is too long on fine or delicate hair if you're trying to keep it looking natural and not like a box dye. Start at 5 min and work up to 15 to find your best timing. I have malessezia yeast on my scalp and this isn't "safe" but also doesn't make it worse. Overall I recommend this product I just wish they'd figure out a way to make truly cool tones.

Will it lift my natural hair color?
- Asked by JJ
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageGloss+ won’t lift your natural or treated hair color. It’s a pigmented deep conditioner, also known as a semi-permanent hair color, with no ammonia or peroxide. It colors the outer strands of the hair and gently fades in about 6–10 shampoos. As always, we recommend doing a strand test first!Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by Jan

- Q
I have dark brow hair with old light brown highlights that turn brassy. Just want to tone down the brassiness . What color should I use? Also after I wash my hair can I condition before applying gloss? My hair gets very tangled after washing ..
- Asked by Roe
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageCool Light Brown Gloss+ is a great choice to help tone down those brassy reflections and keep the highlights looking more neutral. As for conditioning first, you shouldn’t need to. Gloss+ is a deep-conditioning gloss, so it’s formulated to add slip, smoothness, and shine while you tone. Apply it to clean, damp hair and gently work it through, especially where you want to neutralize the brassiness. Rinse, and style as normal.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
So after I wash my hair do I condition with my regular coditioner before applying gloss?
- Asked by Roe

- Q
Does this product have ingredients that will strip keratin? Ammonia, sodium chloride, sulfate, peroxide?
- Asked by L
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageThanks for asking this important question. Gloss+ does not contain ammonia, peroxide, sulfates, or sodium chloride. Instead, it's a conditioning, direct-deposit color formula that uses conditioning ingredients and direct dyes to refresh or enhance color without oxidative dyes or materials. While every keratin treatment is different and we always recommend following your stylist's or keratin manufacturer's care instructions, there are no ingredients in this formula that are typically associated with stripping a keratin treatment. Thank you again!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does it cover grey
- Asked by Why me, God?
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageThanks for your question! Every head of gray is different, so results can vary depending on the amount and texture of your gray hair. Gloss+ isn't designed to permanently cover gray, but it can help soften and blend grays while enhancing your overall hair color and adding shine. If you'd like more personalized guidance, we'd be happy to help! Please reach out to dpHUE Customer Support with a current photo of your hair in natural lighting, and our team can recommend the best shade and set expectations for your specific hair.

- Q
I have hair past my shoulders a little on the thick side do i need more than one bottle?
- Asked by serina
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageWith hair that's a little past your shoulders and on the thicker side, the exact number of Gloss+ applications will depend on how much product your hair absorbs and how generously you apply it. Many people with your hair length and density are able to get multiple uses from one bottle, especially if they're just refreshing their color. Gloss+ is made to be applied on damp hair to spread out more evenly. If you have especially thick or very long hair and prefer a more generous application, you may go through the bottle more quickly, but we generally recommend starting with one bottle and seeing how much you use on your first application.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I've been coloring my hair sort of a strawberry blonde/auburn color, which was my natural hair color, for a long time. I'm tired of coloring and have started to let my natural grey come in but I dont like the texture of my natural hair as mich as the texture of my colored hair. I'm wondering if I tried using the Gloss+ in the sheer color if it might give me a more similar texture to my previously colored hair?
- Asked by LJ
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageGloss+ Sheer is a great choice as a deep conditioning treatment during your gray hair journey. Gloss+ will bring back some of that softness, shine, and manageability you love from your colored hair. If your main goal is a “freshly colored” finish, you may also want to look at Glossy Glaze Sheer. It’s designed specifically to boost shine and leave the hair mirror-like throughout. Whichever you choose, know that your shiniest, healthiest hair is our priority!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does it cover grey hairs?
- Asked by Ageless beauty
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageGloss+ is a semi permanent conditioning color, so it won't provide full gray coverage. However, depending on your hair and the type of gray you're working with, it can help blend grays and shift their tone for a more natural look. For best results, we recommend staying within 1–2 shades of your natural base color and always performing a strand test before applying Gloss+ allover. This will help determine if you're seeing the intended results! If you're looking for full gray coverage, our Root Touch-Up Kits would be the better option. Thanks for the inquiry!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
can this product be used on beards?
- Asked by deb
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageThanks for this important question! While Gloss+ isn't specifically formulated for use on facial hair, some customers do choose to use it on their beards for subtle color enhancement and blending. Facial hair can process differently than scalp hair, so we strongly recommend performing a patch test on a small section first to assess both the color result and skin sensitivity before applying it more broadly. Be especially careful to avoid contact with the skin whenever possible.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How often should you use this?
- Asked by Elizabeth B
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageThanks for your question! We recommend using Gloss+ every 3–8 washes, depending on how vibrant you want to keep your color and how often you wash your hair. Since it’s a semi-permanent color conditioner, regular use helps maintain tone, shine, and richness between salon visits.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Can I add my own conditioner to the color gloss before applying so I can dilute the color payoff (I dont want a drastic change)
- Asked by Audrey
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageThanks for your question! We don’t recommend mixing conditioner into Color Dream, since the color creme and activator were specifically formulated together as a demi-permanent color to provide a beautiful color result. If you’re looking for a less drastic change, a good option is our Gloss+ semi-permanent color-depositing deep conditioner. There are 13 shades to chose from (1 could be closer to your hair color); leave on 3-20 minutes and fades in up to 8 washes.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Does this help with greying roots?
- Asked by Janet
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageThanks for your question! Gloss+ is a semi-permanent color, so it won’t fully cover grays like a permanent hair dye. That said, it can help soften the appearance of grays by adding a light tint that blends them more naturally with your overall color. Results vary from person to person, so we always suggest doing a strand test first to see how it looks on your hair.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What colors should I use if my is starting to get white!!
- Asked by Hair color
- Official Answer By dpHUE - Brand EngageThanks for your question! If your hair is just starting to turn white or gray and you’re looking to enhance your overall color and blend the grays, but not quite ready for permanent hair color, then Gloss+ can help by subtly blending those lighter strands with a tint—though it won’t fully cover them like a permanent dye. For a natural look, choose a Gloss+ shade that matches your current base color. If you have dark brown hair, for example, go with Medium Brown or Dark Brown. These shades can gently tint the white hairs for a more blended appearance while keeping your overall tone consistent. Just note that results can vary depending on your hair type and the amount of white or gray—so we always recommend doing a strand test first!Was this answer helpful to you
