dpHUE Gloss+, Light Brown - 6.5 fl oz

Let me start with some background about my hair to put my experience with the dpHUE hair color in perspective. I have naturally medium brown hair. To say that my hair is thin and fine is an understatement. It is spiderweb fine! I went blonde about a decade ago, which substantially damaged my hair. I have been dying it medium brown for the past couple of years. I have lots of grays. I had experienced significant stress and hormones related hair loss in the past several years. I am pretty paranoid about trying new hair colors as I'm always afraid of the damage and the potential trigger for another hair shed.I had this dpHUE hair color/gloss in my Amazon cart for a couple of months. I just could not get myself to try it as I have not colored my hair at home for over 20 years. But the salon trips are expensive, more frequent because of all my grays and cause me anxiety every single time. So I talked my coworker into trying this product as she is very adventurous with her hair and will try pretty much anything. She reported back that the product left her hair feeling silky and shiny but didn't do much for her color as her hair is naturally dark brown/almost black.I was encouraged about the fact that the product was not damaging and decided to try it. I was between the cool medium brown and light brown. I decided to go a little lighter at first and went with the light brown.First of all, this product is very easy to apply and rinse off. It leaves a little bit of tint on your hands, which is gone after a couple of washes. Next time, I'll just wear gloves.I was extremely nervous the first time so I left it on for only 10 minutes. I applied it on damp hair as instructed. I combed it with a fine tooth comb to make sure it was evenly spread. I noticed maybe a tiny change in color but honestly not much. It left my hair shiny and silky smooth though. And most of all, no itching, shedding or damage.I went to the reviews to learn that some have used it on dry hair and left it on longer for deeper color and gray coverage. I wasn't sure how soon I can reapply but decided to just do it the very next day. I applied it to dry hair. I do have to say that it was harder to smooth it over my hair and it was a bit messier. I left it on for 15 minutes. Again, no damage and silky smooth hair. I saw a noticeable change in color and at least 80% of my grays got covered.I am going to switch to the cool medium brown. Even though I am very happy with how this product treated my hair, the color just does not look great on me. I prefer cooler tones and the light brown definitely pulls more bronze/red. It is a very pretty color, just not for me.Some of the reviews said the product is too expensive. For me, if I use it for at least 15 minutes to get the desired results, it is definitely worth the price with the estimated 8 to 12 applications. I highly recommend the dpHUE hair color/gloss. It is really a great product so don't wait months like me and just do it.

The product literally does nothing. I used to use this same gloss a few years ago and it was wonderful which is why I purchased it again. I applied as directed and it did anything but give leave behind a semi permanent color. For $38 I’m quite annoyed. It washed away as I rinsed it out leaving behind the same exact hair I started with. No added shine or gloss, NOTHING

I like this item. I have dark brown hair with some highlights put in that were just a little too light for my hair color. So I used this to darken them up a bit and it worked great. Its not permanent, so you do have to reaply every couple weeks but its a simple wash in and let it sit, wash out. I probably let it sit 10-15min. No issues with skin changing colors.

For starters, I have naturally medium brown hair, but have had subtle highlights for many years. I was due to go in for my 8-week touch-up right when everything shut down because of democra...er, I mean "covid." Since we were told the shutdown would only be a couple of weeks, I figured no big deal, I could wait. Then it kept getting extended and eventually turned into 4 months. My highlights grew out to the point that I had an "ombre" look, which wasn't bad, just not for me. I didn't want to attempt my own highlights, nor did I want a solid color (fake looking) or anything permanent - just something to tone down the highlights and blend them with my natural hair color. First, I tried the MEDIUM BROWN, and it definitely covered my highlights, but was too dark (like a dark walnut color) and imparted a reddish hue to the highlights. After a few weeks of letting the color fade and gradually wash out, I tried LIGHT BROWN, which I liked a lot, but the highlights were still reddish. After another few weeks, I tried the dark blond, to tone down the highlights but not really affect my natural color. It was definitely more subtle, but the highlights were still "pinkish." Then, I tried the LIGHT BLONDE, which virtually did nothing but impart shine, as the color itself is almost clear. This past weekend, I tried the MEDIUM BLONDE, but mixed it with the DARK BLONDE 50/50, and very happy with the results. I always applied it after washing my hair (this removes any hair product or dirt) and then applied the gloss to damp hair (the hair shaft open when it's wet, so the color absorbs better), and left it on for 20 minutes. I do have a handful of gray hairs that appeared in the past 6 months or so, and these were much less noticeable even though the product isn't meant to cover gray.Overall, I don't think this product is suited for anyone with highlights, as it seems to impart a reddish/pinkish hue regardless of the color used. If your hair is naturally dark or one-color without highlights, I think you'll be very pleased with the results. Since it's a semi-permanent color, it does slowly fade away with time and washing (or a haircut, if it's just the ends that you're not happy with). After each use, my hair has been very full, glossy and silky, and looks healthier than it did before applying the gloss, so I will likely keep using the medium and dark blonde 50/50 combo every couple of weeks until my highlights have completely grown out or have been cut off (since I have a chin-length bob, this won't take that long!).

Okay - the light brown tone is not meant for blonde. It turned my hair orange. BUT the cool medium brown did the trick. I’ve attached photos! I wanted to gloss my way back to my natural hair color and it took a few tries. It fades slowly as you wash… I would say it lasts about a month and I wash my hair every 1-2 days. If you have existing dimension it’ll stay that way. I apply with gloves and basically as if I was using a leave in conditioner all over my hair by sections. The longer you leave it in, the more it’ll absorb.Pictures:1. Claw clip photo - before gloss, salon highlights2. Straight orange streaks - after light brown gloss3.

I love the effect this has on my dark blonde/light brown hair naturally curly hair. I leave it on for 30 mins and wallah, gorgeous toasted caramel dimensional color! I'm 47 and this sticks to the silver at my temples for about 3 washes, and lingers on the rest for 7-8 washdays with no noticeable change in my curl pattern besides having less frizz. I will say it does turn the silver peachy temporarily but it fades nicely.

Gosh, I wanted to love this because I like Justin Anderson so much, however, this is just a no for me.Not only did it not tone or “enhance” my color, it dried out my hair significantly to the point that it feels like hay. It also dried out my scalp pretty badly as well. Beyond that, I used over half of the bottle.I feel like I threw money down the drain and my hair and scalp hurt.Would not recommend this product at all.

I used this to tone down my hair after dye removal. It's decent, pleasant smell & easy to use. However, it's no different than the $7 bottle of semi permanent dye I got at Sally's. It's by Clairol. My Clairol one left my hair feeling like silk unless I lay conditioning. This one did not soften my hair at all.

This stuff is incredible!!! I have some white hair and this made them way less noticeable after only one use. I use the light brown and left it in for 20 ish minutes. My hair is shiny and has still stayed shiny and full looking even after like 5+ washes. Great thing is that it’s so easy to use. I put lotion on my hands before using it and my hands weren’t stained, it didn’t stain my tub or my towels which to me seems crazy given how great this stuff works.

My natural color is dark blonde. I ordered light brown, but it had absolutely no effect

I purchased the product due to the toner and the leave in conditioner aspect. The leave in was good, not great. The toner did not work at all which was disappointing. I have bleached hair and was hoping to tone the colour. Did not work for me despite instructions. Good for leave in but not so much for colour.

My natural hair colour is dark blonde (no greys), dyed red. I use this to blend my roots and it works well for that. Definitely pulls red as it blends my darker roots to the red colour nicely. Works well and if I want more colour deposited, I put it on dry.

First time using and I'd buy again. Bought to add a bit of 'something' to my hair since it's been years since I've had highlights or lowlights put in at the hairdresser's...thanks to covid lockdown. This was a nice little boost of shine and tone. Also, I have some greys coming in and they toned them down alot.
