 Hi, beautiful. So today, we're looking at some glosses slash toners, whatever you want to call them, that I bought from Target. And they cost only $14. These glosses are the Kristen S glosses and I have four of them that I will be trying. As you can see, you can get all different kinds of colors. I think they have how many colors, Emma? That's a great question, Brad. Thank you, Ferd. I think they have nine colors in total. I will check right now. So they have a total of 13. They have 13 different shades of gloss, which is a very large range. I mean, if this works today, and I finally have something to recommend you guys that you can buy at a local Target for a small price tag, I'm excited about that because you guys are always asking me, what's the best toner for my hair? And I have never had anything to recommend because using a toner is a complicated process sometimes and it can be kind of overwhelming when you go to a place like Sally's or any other beauty supply store that has professional hair care at it. This seems pretty self-explanatory and easy. Let's find out if these actually work and see if I recommend for you to use these on your own hair. Let's do it. So if you guys are curious what a toner or a gloss is, let me explain to you real quick. A toner or a gloss is great for somebody who wants to go darker and doesn't want the color to be permanent. It's also great for somebody with blonde hair that is trying to get a different shade of blonde. Whether that be a more warm shade of blonde or a more cool tone shade of blonde, this will help you a lot with that. Also, sometimes people confuse daily permanent and semi-permanent. Semi-permanent is not mixed with a developer, it's also called a direct dye. So the majority of the dye molecules only lay on top of your hair fiber and don't actually go in. Sometimes a few of them sleep in there, but generally it lays on the top of your hair. Daily permanent color is mixed with a developer and it actually slightly goes into your hair cuticle and that's why it stays a little bit longer than a semi-permanent color. This is a great, healthy alternative to using permanent hair color if you're only trying to go darker or stay at the same level that you're at right now because it doesn't use a high developer. It's usually between five and 10 volume that is mixed with these colors. That means you're getting no lift when using these colors, which is great because the lifting process of hair coloring is what causes the damage. Let's grab one of these Kristen S boxes. I've never used a Kristen S product before. I have heard of this a lot through social media recently. People have really been loving it. I love the packaging. This really stands out as a box dye. So let's read the box. It says, signature gloss, tone enhancing, shine boosting, deep conditioning and silicone free and ammonia free. Says it lasts three to four weeks, color and care in and safe for all hair types and single application. Kristen says basically that she always recommends her clients to get gloss and tone between salon visits. She's now able to give this service at home through her new box color and instantly boosts vibrancy and shine while adding warmth to your color. And it'll keep your color looking fresh, shiny and healthy between appointments. Vibrancy boosting technology, antioxidant complex, deeply conditions from roots to tip and it's an alkaline neutralizing system. It keeps color from fading and by preventing hard water minerals from being deposited onto the hair and scalp. Step one, wet hair thoroughly in shower. Step two, mix bottle one and two together, shake gently and apply all over. Step three, wait 10 to 20 minutes depending on your results you want and rinse thoroughly for shampoo and condition as usual. That's interesting that she says to shampoo your hair after toning it because typically you don't do that. You do that beforehand and then you just rinse it off after. So very interesting. I don't know why they would want you to shampoo toner out. Usually that makes it fade much faster and also kind of confusing with the 10 to 20 minutes thing. However, I get it because you can kind of like stop the toner from working because it is a dead permanent color. You can actually rinse it off whenever you get the desired tone you want. I mean, seems easy enough. Let's open it up and see what we got inside. Beautiful packaging, nice little details on the side. This is not like your typical box color. I mean, this feels like a professional color system. I'm really, really loving this. Love the labels and just like the beautiful accents of the bronze foil on the bottle. It's just like really pretty. And it comes with real gloves instead of like those awful flat gloves that like don't really work. These are like legit gloves. Also the best part is that it is pre-measured. So we just put number two and number one. It fills right up the top and it says to gently shake. We're just gonna go like that and then it's ready to be applied. And before I actually put this on Ms. Manny Quinn today with all her different hair colors going on you'll see in a second. I'm just gonna mix up all of them. This one is the Bittersweet Dark Neutral Brown. Then we have the Wild Berry Deep Rich Burgundy. Super pretty kind of plummy red color. And then we have this gorgeous platinum icy translucent ash. All right, now that we're done mixing I think my client is serious. Let me grab them. Okay, so I have clearly pre-latent Ms. Manny Quinn's hair today and she's looking delicious. I'm sorry, but can we admire how beautifully platinum I got her? And then also, I didn't need to pop off this hard when I was just gonna ruin it. Anyways, like I didn't even tone this yet. Like why does it look so pretty? I am going to do with the platinum toner on this side, obviously. Then I'm going to do the bronze color on this side because it's for highlights. I'm gonna miss this color though. It's like so delicious. Then we are going to do a plum color on this side and the black color on this side. So I made sure we have all the perfect bases to work on before we get started because toner will not lighten your hair. It'll bring it down, it'll make it deeper or it will keep it at the same level and change the tone. Pop these bad boys right on these sausage links and let's get coloring. So Ms. Kristen said to have really wet hair. I'm just gonna really dampen it. She is shampooed though. The directions do not say that you need to do that but her hair has already been shampooed today. If I had to. It says if your hair is really dirty, you need to shampoo it. So there we go. We're not gonna towel dry it at all. We're just gonna have it super damp like that. All right, let's start the process. Ms. Maddy Quinn, please, just stay in your positions. Ooh, I love a good gel color. Does smell quite strong but I guess it's to be expected and not really to be expected but, ooh, baby. I'm just gonna use my hands. Normally, I would comb this through. However, the directions do not call for that so I will not do it because I am a rule follower. I follow rules. Right, Emma? Tell the audience. Right. Tell the audience how much of a rule follower I am. God damn it. You study the rules and I can dive. Never cross the line. You make your own rules though. Oh. Loving this application process is super easy. So simple. Couldn't have been made on you, simpler. I like that it's jelly and it's starting to turn the hair dark and it's looking really glossy. Obviously, because it's wet red. Why would it not look glossy? It's even easy to apply without a comb. I love my combs, I really do. And plus, this little nozzle on here is nice to just go inside the root like this. Just make sure you're getting it everywhere, guys, if you're doing this at home. God, I really am so hopeful that this works well. This is like a game changer. We have fully saturated that section. Stare a clip in there and let's move on. Up next is the wild berry on this back section that is light brown. Ooh. And guys, the way I like to do this is kind of section it out. However, you can just like go in your roots with this applicator and get really in there and kind of just like move it around your entire head if you want to be really quick about it. I recommend doing it like this if you want precision. But because it is that gel type of formula, it is going to seep into all the places that you kind of miss. And there's very little room for error with this. I swear I didn't hurt anybody. I'll just color in some hair. It's looking good though, really red. I'm interested to see when the plumbing color comes through but the other side is getting darker. This is fun. Let's keep going. Let's do the bronze section. That is what the back looks like. It's looking pretty. On to the bronze color, which is brown and blonde if you don't know. Don't really know how exactly this is going to look. I know it's going to look very warm tone. You can tell actually as I put this on how orange it is which I always love a good warm golden bronze. What a weird word in the weird life. I can't believe this came from Target, what in the world? What in the 2020? All right, the bronze is done and applied. It's looking beautiful. Let's move on to the final one. My favorite one, the platinum one. And yes, I love blonde hair. And I admit that I will forever love blonde hair even though I have blue hair. Let's make this platinum blonde side beautiful and nice and ash tone. Ooh, it's very violet. Make sure I don't mix it in with the freaking red right beside it. This mannequin is done. She's gonna process for another 15 minutes. And I did get a little bit of red in this blonde side but I think it'll be fine. You're a really cool color though. I'm really liking this whole palette we got going on here. I'm really excited to see these results. I think it looks really nice so far. And we just might have a winner product on our hands today and a good look for Miss Manny Quinn. So I think she'll be excited to have like actually good hair today. Typically it comes out a little crazy. So overall the process was so simple, so clean. I didn't make a mess anywhere which is very rare for me. I'm just all around impressed. She looks like she's bloating. Like this. I'm back. Hey guys. So excited about this product that I've been telling everybody about it and texting people how much I love this thing and having phone calls with Cassie. I'm blown away by this thing. Let's review each color first and let me show you what's going on. We have the platinum blonde color right here. I don't hate it. Listen, I think it's gorgeous. I think it did a nice job of just cooling down that yellowy tone in the hair just a little bit. But I do have to say it looks nothing like the box. Girl, her hair was level 10 when I started and it's not anywhere near this. That sucks. And also the back was a little bit challenging. Like nobody's hair looks like that. It's literally as white as my wall. So I don't really know how this was supposed to work. I did leave all the colors on for 20 minutes, by the way. So it was the maximum amount of time. Again, I think it's gorgeous, beautiful, stunning and it just cooled down that yellowy tone a little bit in the hair. I think this is the only one that I'm slightly disappointed with. I do wish it was a little bit stronger. So now we have this red color. Look at how shiny this hair is. There's no product in Ms. Miniquin's hair. This is all from doing the gloss and it is glossy as hell and also so silky smooth. It is really pretty. I also use my Polychrome shampoo conditioner to wash the hair, which has a lot of shine benefit. So of course we're getting shine from all different places and it's just creating this mega glossy glass effect and I'm obsessed. But overall, I have to say the hair feels better than it did before. I mean, for a dipermanent color, this has amazing color payoff for a red color. Usually you don't get as deep and as rich of a color with Demi. I mean, sometimes you do and sometimes you don't, it depends what the color line is. I would say again, the box is deceiving. I think this is a lot more plummy colored and also like the lighting is really bad in this picture. You can't see the hair and it's only like a black box. So work on the pictures a little bit. I would say this is definitely more red. Again, I love it. If you're okay with your color not being exactly how you wanted it to be, it's really pretty. Also, you know, you're gonna get different effects and different lighting. Then we move on to this color over here. Now that I'm kind of going through this, I love the product and I keep saying that I know, but I want to reiterate, I love the products. However, pretty much every color didn't come out like the box. This is brown. It's a really pretty shade of brown, but this is black. It says dark neutral brown. I think this is a dark neutral brown for sure. This is not a dark neutral brown. I would say this is more close to black. I think it's again, a lighting issue because even this photograph is blurry. And also the kind of starting image is the same thing as the results. Don't understand that either. I think this one is the most similar to the photograph on the box. This is pretty much exactly what we got. So that's awesome. I just love how warm and rich this color is. It did an amazing job at toning those highlights. Whoa, that is some beautiful color. Overall, I have to say, if we aren't judging based on the color that's on the box, these are just the most magical looking colors. For a box dye that I purchased in a Target for less than $15, I would say these results are incredible. Oh my God, also, I want my hair this color. Like, how cool does that look? Sick. Doesn't it look sick? Disgusting. Wow. Ooh. Vomit worthy. It's really impressive. These colors are so vibrant and shiny. It's only a 20 minute treatment. You don't have to go to the salon to do it. You're getting no damage to your hair and you're just getting vibrant, beautiful color. All at your home. All in the convenience of your home. All here. All here. All here, baby. It all happened here. I would highly recommend heading to Target. If you want to revamp your style, just add a little more richness or darkness to your hair or go a little red and have it only be semi-permanent and have it wash out in three to four weeks is what the box says. Get your hands on the Kristen S. color at Target. I'm obsessed. I think it's such an awesome product and an innovative product. I don't think I've ever seen a day permanent salon quality product at a Target before. So Kristen, good for you girl. This is awesome. I'm really excited about this and it's definitely something I would recommend to my friends and family if they want to revamp their color at home by themselves. I'm impressed. Kristen, you nailed it.
