 Color Fresh Mask

when I was blonde I used to use the golden gloss and peach shade to tone my hair. the color always came out beautiful and the conditioner is so soft, you can def tell why this costs more. now I mix the espresso and caramel shade and color my roots with it because it's shockingly good at staining my greys and blending them in.

I regret using this. I was expecting a rich copper refresh for my hair but instead i got firetruck red… my hair stylist is going to be mad at me. Dont buy if arent ok being a red head and not copper…

I hired a new hair stylist to add caramel highlights to my dark brown hair. It seemed like a modest ask— I wasn't looking for a drastic change or anything. I just asked for dimension. I had brought in reference pictures and was looking forward to the appointment for months. As a single mom, I never spend money on myself. So it was a big deal for me. Well, 6+ hours later come to find out she bleached random sections of my hair to a LEVEL 9 PLATINUM BLONDE and my lengths felt like dry, coarse hay. I thanked her for the appointment and went home and cried. I had spent 2 years not adding heat or touching my hair so it could become healthy, and all of my work was thrown away in one sitting. 😭 Ya girl wasted no time. The next day, I scoured the internet and Google for solutions. I knew I wanted to go with a semi-permanent solution and not box dye to not further compromise the integrity of my hair. I came across this one, Glaze, Good Dye Young, the dpHue Gloss +, etc. and ultimately decided to try Chocolate Touch. I I couldn't find a lot of "after" images online of how much color the product deposited, so was nervous... But I just followed the directions and left it on for 10 minutes. I figured if it looked way too dark it would just wash out overtime. The end result was this elegant brunette color with this cinammon glow in the sun and is very flattering on my olive skin tone. It canceled out the horrible ashy toner the hair stylist put in my hair and created the effect of richness I was going for. I am so happy with the end result. The highlighted pieces of hair took differently than my non-bleached hair of course, but the blend is seamless and looks intentional. I was so impressed that a hair mask could do that. If you're in a similar situation as me with a botched dye job and are on the fence, just buy it! It is a bit pricy, not going to lie. But in my situation, it costed way less than going out and potentially repeating the process all over again with a new hair stylist.

This is a good product, but in my opinion it only lasted 1-3 days in my hair. After that the brassy tones started to showed up. Overall I use it for emergencies, an important event, because it does make you hair darker.

I have grown to hate this. So you basically have to use it in the shower because it has to be on shampoo-ed hair and then rinsed. Well for one, stains the shower. For two, the chocolate touch color is RED. Not like ginger but red like abnormally warm toned. Also, every day since using this my hair has been bone dry and flat. Not loving the results! So many other brands have better ones (except the brand with the pump and drip on the package). The only pro is that yes it is very pigmented. Feels more like a straight up dye than a color depositing mask.
