XMONDOColor Soft Black Color Depositing Mask & Semi-Permanent Hair Dye Super Gloss Infused with Bond Boosters for Nourishment, Revitalize & Repair, Vegan Formula, 8 Fl Oz

This is the happy moment of shiny, saturated hair that feels silky soft even a of couple washes after applying XMondo Color Gloss! Picture is 1 week later after applying. Super easy to do. Be sure to use gloves and an old towel as instructed, I had to use a Mr. Clean sponge on the fiberglass shower area. It came clean though. This treatment smells good and leaves silky hair as a result. Covers grey gently, looks natural!

Definitely read the product description, and follow the instructions. If you skip the gloves it will stain your hands. This gloss has a lot of green, if you don't already have brown hair beware (as stated in the product description). My roots are naturally a level 4, my hair bleaches in the sun so my ends were lighter and way warmer than I like. The 5N gloss was perfect tone down the warmth and darken my ends. I wouldn't call this a N, the tones are really blue/green. It worked perfect for what I needed though because my mids to ends were really warm. They're a nice chocolatey color now!

This review is specifically for the 5N /dark brown colorScent - same scent as other xmondo products. To me it is very jasmine perfume. I personally don’t care for the scent but some people love it. I can deal with it but could be a negative if you are sensitive to fragrance. Or it could be a huge plus if you love the scentPackaging - solid quality feel packaging. Nice wide opening allows you to easily access the product whether using a brush or hands. No need for color bowls.Value - I’d say this heavily depends on your hair. Short hair will probably get 3-5 uses. I have shoulder length hair and looks like I’ll get 2-3 uses. Longer hair may get one use or need 2 for really long hair.Feel - thick consistency. Nice that it’s not runny. You have good control over it. Like a thick conditioning maskCaution this WILL stain on contact. Make sure you are careful to cover the area you are working in and wear gloves. I have a dark tile shower but I would not be surprised if this would stain a white tub. I would def say have the bleach ready to go to clean up immediately.Color - obviously this will vary by person but here’s my experience. I have naturally dark hair (level 4). I also have some grey and bleached highlights. I have been trying to transition to a lower maintenance hair routine in the last 2 years and mainly using semi permanent color (professionally done). I’m not a stranger to dark hair. I’ve had level 3 color in the past (which for most people is essentially black). I am not a hairdresser but imo this is not a level 5 color as the name would imply. To me, getting my hair colored for 20 years on my base, this is a 3/4. It is very very dark, almost black. I’d strongly suggest doing a test strand if going too dark is a concern for you. There are a lot of green undertones so you will not have any warmth.Would I recommend? No. Do the test strand. For myself, I feel like I need something softer at this point. This color feels a bit harsh on me but it may be exactly what you’re looking for.Update - I tried the 5G color. Mistake! This has such heavy red tones that I look like red was my intended color. Extremely disappointed and will not be trying any more of these colors. I actually went to sally beauty to see if they had anything to help the heavy red brassy tones. Thankfully it’s semi permanent so I’ll be trying clarifying shampoo and blue shampoo to hopefully quickly reduce the unwanted color. Honestly the reaction when I told the lady I had used this said it all. Not recommended

Hopefully this review can help another medical mystery girly.To preface I have bleached / processed hair.I am a licensed Cosmo gal and just want to give an honest review!!I tried this on my natural hair as well as hair extensions because I am testing a theory I have which is proving to be correct.I have a lot of health issues, recent surgeries & procedures, on medications, etc.I wanted to try a product that I have no known allergies to (as I’ve had to ditch other hair coloring products because of) and noticed my hair wasn’t taking color normally.Other stylists have suggested because of health things as listed it’s probably affecting my hair.Testing on my hair extensions which were 60 blonde (more golden toned) and testing on my freshly highlighted hair as a root tap and brought down after 10 minutes of processing.On the hair extensions it shows as pictures- a beautiful ashy blonde that mimics my natural hair color!On my natural hair (as my natural lowlight) and my highlighted hair it turned rose gold. And have a pink tint all over to it.I normally use Matrix tonal control 9v or 9aa I get at Cosmo prof for a root tap and tone.If you don’t have any preexisting things that could affect your hair such as medical issues, surgeries, medications (even pregnancy and hormone fluctuations can cause this), I’d maybe try a test strand!That being said I love Brad Mondo. I’ve followed him for years and wanted to support him from one cosmo to another. And so wanted to love this product for me!!I’d recommend buying this for human hair extensions as well to revive some life and give a nice gloss to! :)
