Madison Reed's Gloss Will Add Shine and Multifaceted Tone to Your Haircolor {Review}
Sunday, July 26, 2015I received a Madison Reed Semi-permanent Gloss in Miele in order to facilitate an honest review; All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
If you've been reading the blog for a while, you know that I'm a fan of Madison Reed's products. They recently came out with a new product, a semi-permanent Gloss, that I was eager to try.
I've tried 2 other glosses, and they did just what they were supposed to do: Make your hair super-glossy. That's fine, but I wasn't all that impressed. They were too expensive for the little they did. When I saw Madison Reed's Gloss line I was excited to see that it boasts a clear, plus 7 different tones to choose from to help enhance your color.
I have a warm skin tone and eye color, but a cool shade in my hair. I've been curious to see if warming up my hair tone wouldn't look much better overall, so I picked out the shade Miele, a rich honey tone to add warmth and dimension to brunette hair.
"Designed to enhance color, add tone, and boost shine. Easy to apply and gives your hair rich, beautiful depth. Used by salons to make your hair softer and shinier. Semi-permanent gloss lasts up to 8 washes. Available in 7 tones, plus clear. You can easily add vibrancy to any hair type - color treated or natural!"
One of my favorite things about Madison Reed is that you order it and they deliver. I reviewed their custom home Haircolor Kit here and their Root Touch Up compact here.
The gloss arrived quickly and came with a set of gloves. I like that they're nice sturdy gloves and not those cheap ones that usually split at the seams and get dye in-between your fingers.
This tube will do 2 applications for shoulder-length hair and 1 application for long hair. I applied it and timed it and rinsed it out. I did a before/after inside (it was a gloomy day), and you can't see the tone very well, but you can absolutely see the glossy shine and the condition of my hair.
I also did some photos outside so you can see the warmth that was added to my color.
My hair color is usually pretty flat-looking. It's one solid color unless my grey roots are coming in, but I can see some lighter striping now that really kicks up the dimension.
So overall I was really pleased with the results. What kept me from trying a honey-brown dye is that I thought it would be too drastic, and what if I didn't like it? I love that just adding the honey tone was simple, inexpensive, and low-key and that the condition of my hair was better than when I started. Another A+ product.
