L’Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss One Step Toning Gloss, In-Shower Hair Toner with Deep Conditioning Treatment Formula for Gray Hair, Silver Slate, 1 Kit

Of all the products I’ve bought this works the best. Leaves my hair a little lavender but I like it. My friends say they love it. It smells great also. My hair is also softer.

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 had 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 longer 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.

This is fun I guess. Not a drastic change but I like it. Not really sure whether I ought to have used the silver or the slate but so far so good with silver slate. Left it in for about 12 minutes. Hope it lasts a couple weeks at least.

I wasn't immediately impressed. It was worried about how long this would last and how nice the overall effect would be. I am now won over. What I like is that, while this doesn't dye-to-hide my grey, it gives it a more refined look. Before this, I had dingy-looking greys that made me want to keep dying over them. However, I want to show off my grey hair because it's a sort of badge, IMO! After using this, my formerly rusty-looking greys were more of a steel-grey. That blends in better with my dark brown hair that also has natural auburn mixed in (thanks, Mom!). It's not something that shows a lot in photos, but... I tried to find some old Before pics to compare with more recent ones. My hair is afro-natural, so I co-wash once a week and shampoo about everh 3 - depending on any products used that need to be cleaned out. I also do a clarifying shampoo around every other month. I have co-washed my hair twice with this product in and it's still holding up really well. For someone who needs to wash their hair with shampoo frequently, I still think this would hold up well, just not as long as for my wash routine.

Not slate gray. Bright purple when wet. Lavender gray tint. Won’t buy again.

Horrible product. It’s pretty much a glorified purple shampoo. Will leave your natural gray a deep lavander and it does not deliver on the gloss it claims to leave. I do not recommend this to anyone.

Immediate beautiful shine, color enhancement, condition. My salt and pepper, mostly salt, hair looks 200% better after using this product. It's extremely easy to use and since it was my first time, I used a moderate amount for 9 minutes. Wow, my naturally wavy hair is also naturally frizzy, so I never get to wear it loose, always have to flat iron. I was so pleased to see that as my hair air dried, I had shiny waves! After a day, my frizziness was again noticeable, so I flat ironed and was thrilled with my silky, shiny beautifully color enhanced hair. Dark silver that was once dull gray. I just bought more.

I like this product. It reduces the yellow cast my gray obtains from heat. It lasts several shampoos. It’s much more affordable than the salon and Inlike DIY aspect. 🥇

Love it. So easy to apply. My greys actually felt softer and the shine is amazing.
