L'Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss One Step In-Shower Toning Hair Gloss, Neutralizes Brass, Conditions & Boosts Shine, Silver, 4 Ounce

Updated: 2/09/25 I wanted to transition from dyeing my dark brown, straight thin hair to a natural gray and found this hair gloss, and I am so glad I tried it! I go to a salon for low lights every three weeks which piled up as unsustainably costly! This color gloss was so easy to apply and use while in the shower. It is also less messy to apply, seemingly with less harmful chemical ingredients, and less smell than regular hair dyes. I've used all brands of pricey hair colors resulting in my hair thinning and being chemically fried, and itchy and irritated scalp that I decided to take the big leap and go gray.I started slowly by letting my roots grow out to gray without dyeing it (not pretty) and having regular hair cuts to get rid of my colored brunette hair, and then started using this hair gloss to keep my salt and pepper tone. Yes, it does take a while to grow gray but after nearly 3 years now (made feasible by the COVID lockdown and working remotely) my hair seems healthier, thicker, and my scalp less irritated and itchy. In my opinion, this hair gloss also saves me money than having my lowlights done and sitting for 2 hours every 2-3 weeks in a salon than doing something fun outdoors! What a trade off!Shampoo it in while in the shower, wait 15-20 minutes, rinse, and apply your favorite conditioner. Easy peasy!!I have applied it on dry hair sometimes, comb it through, and then let it sit for 10 minutes while I wash/scrub my body while in the shower. Then after 10 minutes, I lather it in and leave it for 5 more minutes before washing it off and applying my leave in conditioner. It seems this added time on dry hair helps keep the color linge and give my hair a more glossy salt and pepper gray shine. I often get compliments on my hair color because it looks naturally graying, not balange or a low lights salon application.

Oh, wow, this product is great! We spend summers in the high mountains and hard water and dry air do a number on my grey hair—dingy, dry and coarse-feeling after the first was and it only gets worse as time goes on. I used a good moisturizing mask and then applied this product, left it for 15 minutes before rinsing out. I wasn’t optimistic,msince I’ve tried a lot of things over the years. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I dried my hair and saw how silvery and shiny it looked, and it’s soft and manageable, too. The softness is probably down to the hair mask, but the improved color and shine is not, because I’ve used that same mask before without those results. I will buy this product again for sure.

I recently tried the L'Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss One Step Toning Gloss in Silver Slate, and I am beyond impressed! As someone with color-treated hair that tends to get brassy over time, I was on the hunt for a product that could refresh my color without the commitment of a full dye job. This product did exactly that and more.Easy to UseThe fact that this gloss works in the shower is a game changer. It’s a simple, no-fuss process—apply it to damp hair, leave it on for about 10-15 minutes, and rinse. I love that it doesn’t require mixing or a separate developer, making it perfect for those days when I need a quick color boost. Plus, it doesn’t drip everywhere, which is a huge plus!Toning and Conditioning in OneThe Silver Slate color toned my hair beautifully, neutralizing the unwanted brassiness and leaving a cool, ashy tone that looks salon-fresh. But what really impressed me was how soft and conditioned my hair felt after using it. The deep conditioning aspect of this product is fantastic—it left my hair shiny, smooth, and hydrated without weighing it down.Color ResultsThe color is subtle but effective. It gave my hair a gorgeous cool tone that wasn’t too harsh or unnatural. If you're looking for a dramatic change, this might not be for you, but for maintenance and refreshing your color, it's perfect. I also noticed that the color stayed vibrant for several washes, so it’s definitely long-lasting.No Damage, No Harsh SmellUnlike some toners, this one doesn’t have a strong chemical smell, which made the experience so much more pleasant. It also didn’t dry out my hair or cause any damage, which is a concern I usually have with toning products. My hair felt healthier after using it!Final ThoughtsOverall, the L'Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss in Silver Slate is an amazing product if you're looking to maintain and tone your color at home. The one-step, in-shower process is incredibly convenient, and the fact that it deep conditions while toning is a huge bonus. I’ll definitely be keeping this in my regular hair care routine! Highly recommended for anyone looking to cool down brassiness and add shine.One Star RemovedI gave it 4 stars because sadly, despite it saying it will last up to 10 days, it lasted 3 for me because on day 3 when I washed it, all of the toner washed away. I would love to find a color like this that would last through a few washes without damaging my hair.

Works well on brunette hair to cover greys temporarily. It blends n coats the greys and leaves a glossy shine. Good option if you want to stop using permanent color for awhile n get hair in better condition. You will need to use it every week or two since it gradually washes out, but its not as harsh as permanent hair colors. My hair is looking shinier n healthier!
