dpHUE Gloss+, Strawberry - Boosts Fading & Faded Hair Color - 8-12 Applications per Bottle - Lasts Up to 8 Washes

I gifted the dpHUE Gloss+ in Copper to my girlfriend after she mentioned wanting brighter, healthier-looking hair without high maintenance, and it has been a big hit. The first time she used it, I instantly noticed how much more vibrant and glossy her color looked — it really brought out warmth and shine in her copper tones. ✔ What we loved • Beautiful, natural shine: The gloss added a luminous finish that made her hair look healthier and more vibrant without looking overly processed. • Hydrating without heaviness: Her hair felt soft and moisturized afterward, not weighed down or greasy — even after 48+ hours. • Easy to apply at home: She didn’t need any special tools or salon visit — the application was simple and the instructions were clear, which made it ideal for a gift. • Long-lasting subtle enhancement: The color boost and shine lasted several washes, giving her hair extra life between salon appointments. ❤️ Why it was a great gift She mentioned how much she appreciated the extra dimension it gave to her natural tones, and even weeks later she still gets compliments on how healthy and glossy her hair looks. It’s one of those products that feels a bit luxurious but is easy enough to use regularly — perfect for someone who likes beautiful results without complicated routines. ⭐ Final Verdict The dpHUE Gloss+ in Copper was a wonderful, thoughtful gift that delivered real results: richer color, brilliant shine, and softer hair. If you’re looking for something that boosts natural tone and adds gloss with minimal effort, this is a great choice. ✔ Highly recommended for gifting or everyday hair enhancement — especially for colored or dull hair seeking a healthy glow.

I wanted to share my experience for anyone who was as undecided as I was when I was searching for color glosses and color conditioners. I did a lot of looking at products and reviews and ended up choosing to to try: this product and Moroccanoil color conditioner. This was the winner hands down. Even though it says it does not cover gray, I was delighted to find that ti does actually sort of partly stain my very stubborn wiry gray so that it looks a little bit more like highlights.It darkened my very faded light brown hair (that had a little too much red) in a nice rich way. Just a deepening and enriching. But the best part that I really want to get across is how shiny and glossy this product makes your hair. Almost nothing that promises shine and gloss actually works on my hair. I have very fine, very dry, NOT shiny hair—alas. It always looks a bit fuzzy and the only thing that really usually gives it shine is LOTS of oil. I was amazed to find that this product actually did give my hair a little bit of sheen and a really nice soft shiny glossy feeling. I actually kept running my fingers through my hair. And it lasted a really long time (I don’t shampoo every day because my hair is so dry, and after a week it still had that slightly thicker, glossy feeling! I am a believer in this product. And I am so picky about hair products. I don’t love the smell, but I’m quite fragrance sensitive and it didn’t knock me over or make me feel sick so that was a plus. The smell faded after a day or so. Another bonus as it does not stain your hands even though it warns you that it might. (I used the medium brown). The Moroccan oil conditioner was a darker brown and it did stain my hands, it did darken my hair but it did not even touch the gray. Moreover, I was disappointed that it did not give my hair that shiny glossy smooth feeling at all. I’m glad I just bought a sample pack of that one. DPhue is not cheap but for the size of the bottle and how much I get out of it when you consider that one salon color or gloss is upwards of $80 or more, plus travel time, this is going to be my go-to product between colorings. And I think it will extend my time between coloring. I have a lot of gray at the part right now but I don’t even feel in a rush to get color because I have this product. Big thumbs up on this one!

Left photo is after, right photo is before. I'm a natural ginger and heard that people in the redhead community like this product. I just wanted to give my hair a subtle boost since it is winter and my hair gets dull from not being outside as much. I got strawberry since my hair looks similar to that color in the summer. It takes a lot of product to coat your hair and I feel like it washed completely out the next time I showered, but it did boost the color in a really natural way. I think next time I would try copper or a mix of strawberry and copper to see if it stays in my hair longer. I still prefer how Overtone's color lasts longer, but I prefer how this has a more natural looking end result. My wavy hair felt very soft afterwards too. I would recommend this product I just wished it lasted longer in my hair.

I was very hesitant to buy this product due to the mixed reviews, but I decided to go for it and I’m so glad I did! First two pics are before and second are after. Shown in indirect and direct sunlight. My hair is naturally dark blonde and I used the strawberry gloss. I have the tiniest hit of red, but it can only be seen in direct sunlight. My goal was to intensify that hint of red and become a true strawberry blonde, and I was also open to being a true redhead. I almost went for the copper color, and I know that many of the bad reviews are with that color. If you have any shade of blonde or maybe even light brown hair and want somewhat subtle results, I’d recommend going with strawberry over copper. There are a few factors that I think contribute to a beautiful result with this product. 1. Virgin hair - my hypothesis for why some people experience patchy results is differing porosities of hair texture on the same head. I bleached my hair for many years, and I don’t think this product is ideal for that texture. I stopped about 4 years ago and have now fully grown out and cut off any color-treated hair. 2. Ensuring an exfoliated scalp and fully clean hair - it seems like some folks were left with vivid roots and a dyed scalp. At least every other time I wash my hair, I use a scalp scrub before shampooing. I then use a clarifying shampoo focusing on the scalp and roots, rinse it out, and then a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo on both the roots and lengths of my hair. I only use the clarifying shampoo when I am about to apply a hair treatment. The other times I shampoo twice with the same gentle shampoo. Before I started using a scalp scrub, I didn’t think I had much product/oil build-up, but it has been an absolute game changer in my routine. But that’s a review for another day lol. 3. Be intentional and thorough with application - I personally wouldn’t recommend putting this product into your hair while you’re still in the shower like you would with conditioner like some other reviewers have said. I do scalp scrub, double shampoo, and then the rest of my shower routine. After I get out and dry off, I squeeze excess water out of my hair by scrunching with a cotton turban, but a t-shirt would be just as good. I then section my hair into quadrants and make sure I thoroughly saturate each section and comb through it with a wide-toothed comb before moving on to the next section. I use gloves for this step. Once I’m done, I comb it all out again to ensure every strand is coated evenly. Then I put my hair up in a big claw clip. 4. Saturation time - the first time I used this product, I only left it in for about 10 minutes, maybe less, as I was terrified I would experience overly pigmented, patchy results. I am relieved that was not the case, but leaving the product in for that short of a time gave me very, very subtle results. The next few times I have extended the leave-in time to 15-30 minutes and have liked the result more the longer I leave it in before rinsing. 5. Rinsing - after the product has had time to sit, I get back in the shower and thoroughly rinse. I have not noticed the color coming out at all in the water like some have said. I have only used the strawberry gloss, so that may be a factor, but I also think rinsing with cool/cold water helps. I don’t add conditioner after rinsing out the gloss, but I do put in the leave-in conditioner I always use after a wash and then style as usual. I know this was very long-winded, but I hope someone finds it helpful, whether you are considering buying this product or already bought it and were disappointed with your results. I have applied this 3, maybe 4, times now and have only used about a third of the bottle. For context, my hair goes past my shoulders and is slightly thicker than average. I use about 3 pumps per section of hair. I wash my hair every 5 days, so I get about a month of noticeable color per application. I will definitely keep using this product for the foreseeable future. Wishing you wonderful results!

Let me start with some background about my hair to put my experience with the dpHUE hair color in perspective. I have naturally medium brown hair. To say that my hair is thin and fine is an understatement. It is spiderweb fine! I went blonde about a decade ago, which substantially damaged my hair. I have been dying it medium brown for the past couple of years. I have lots of grays. I had experienced significant stress and hormones related hair loss in the past several years. I am pretty paranoid about trying new hair colors as I'm always afraid of the damage and the potential trigger for another hair shed. I had this dpHUE hair color/gloss in my Amazon cart for a couple of months. I just could not get myself to try it as I have not colored my hair at home for over 20 years. But the salon trips are expensive, more frequent because of all my grays and cause me anxiety every single time. So I talked my coworker into trying this product as she is very adventurous with her hair and will try pretty much anything. She reported back that the product left her hair feeling silky and shiny but didn't do much for her color as her hair is naturally dark brown/almost black. I was encouraged about the fact that the product was not damaging and decided to try it. I was between the cool medium brown and light brown. I decided to go a little lighter at first and went with the light brown. First of all, this product is very easy to apply and rinse off. It leaves a little bit of tint on your hands, which is gone after a couple of washes. Next time, I'll just wear gloves. I was extremely nervous the first time so I left it on for only 10 minutes. I applied it on damp hair as instructed. I combed it with a fine tooth comb to make sure it was evenly spread. I noticed maybe a tiny change in color but honestly not much. It left my hair shiny and silky smooth though. And most of all, no itching, shedding or damage. I went to the reviews to learn that some have used it on dry hair and left it on longer for deeper color and gray coverage. I wasn't sure how soon I can reapply but decided to just do it the very next day. I applied it to dry hair. I do have to say that it was harder to smooth it over my hair and it was a bit messier. I left it on for 15 minutes. Again, no damage and silky smooth hair. I saw a noticeable change in color and at least 80% of my grays got covered. I am going to switch to the cool medium brown. Even though I am very happy with how this product treated my hair, the color just does not look great on me. I prefer cooler tones and the light brown definitely pulls more bronze/red. It is a very pretty color, just not for me. Some of the reviews said the product is too expensive. For me, if I use it for at least 15 minutes to get the desired results, it is definitely worth the price with the estimated 8 to 12 applications. I highly recommend the dpHUE hair color/gloss. It is really a great product so don't wait months like me and just do it.

I was not expecting a whole lot but this product superceeded my expectations. The only thing I dislike is having to wash and wet my hair previously because it's winter and I was cold but it was super easy to apply. I found it easier to apply than regular hair dye and much less toxic. I used a bowl and an application brush from Sally beauty supply and there was no mess. It was a very creamy conditioner and I could see how people say one bottle will last for a while because I probably only used about a quarter and my hair is hip length. So, because of it's creaminess there was no mess. I left it on for 30 minutes. When I went to rinse I didn't lose hardly any color, just a little bit everybody's hair is different. Another thing too, I co-wash so I didn't use shampoo I used my conditioner. So, I rinsed and I was pleasantly surprised. The color took much stronger than my usual hair dye and it was much gentler on my hair. My hair felt very conditioned. My grays were completely covered which I was unsure about but they were covered completely and came out a beautiful light copper that you can see in my pictures. You can see my bangs too there are a lot of grays at the roots that were completely covered. So, I am definitely leaning towards this method going forward since it feels so good and works well. This works for me because I only wash my hair once a week and it's only a co-wash. My climate is at elevation and cold alpine so conditioning is extremely important here. I usually dye my hair (roots) every month so by then it will only be 4 co-wash cycles. So, if you co- wash this could be great for you. I also love that they have so many different colors for people to chose them, there is a color for everybody. So, I think this is a winner for me. Knowing how much I condition my hair and how gentle co-washing is I don't expect to lose too much color. I'm also looking forward to more beautiful highlights the more grays I get. I will update this review after a month but so far I really like this product.

The product came with a defective pump very sad 😢 and messy! Other than that I like the color that it produces and the shine it gives my hair. Although I feel like after just one wash I loose a SIGNIFICANT amount of color and tone for a product that is supposed to last up to 8 washes. I’m a natural chocolatey brunette but I dye my hair red and use this in between services to save money. I’m still not sure how I feel about this product and the efficacy. I heard raving reviews about it and now I’m somewhat disappointed but it’s also a cheaper and less damaging option than dyeing my hair again.

My hair: damaged, coarse and bleached. I recently had my hair colored red after being a blonde since 2018. Since I moved to my new home last year, I noticed my hair was feeling harder and looking darker after just one or 2 washes after redoing my hair. I realized my water was the problem so I installed a new filter for my shower head. But my hair was too damaged so I decided to go red and give bleaching my hair a break. But we had to bleach the top, which had been a shadow root to even the entire red color all over my head. But wow that last time of bleaching left my hair soooo damaged and brittle. I’ve never experienced so much breakage. I had been using Olaplex for a few years so my hair was healthy before moving to my new home. So that’s the hair I started with before using this product—hard, brittle, breaking off easily, stiff and rough to the touch and extremely porous. In other words—terrible! My red hair washed out ridiculously fast! This product: after reading many reviews here and watching many YouTube videos, I decided to give this a try. I didn’t want to color my hair again since it’s only been 3 months since I went red. First, I can’t really afford that and second, I don’t want any more damage. I used the auburn one. I used it wrong the first time around and was so disappointed because it’s so expensive. But I read a review and took that person’s advice. I applied it as a hair dye with a brush on my my roots first. I left it for ten minutes and then applied it to the rest of my hair. At this point, I used almost a whole bottle because I had already used it before. I was so scared to see what would turn out. But woah! I was blown away by how soft and bouncy my hair felt after all the damaged I had recently experienced. I couldn’t believe it, but not only that, the color looks amazing! It’s exactly the color I was going for without the added damage. I haven’t washed it yet so I willl have to update with that information. What a great way for me to keep my color without causing damage to my hair. I’m so excited I found this and a thank you to the person who explained how to use it correctly. It works like a charm!! I can’t recommend this enough. 👍🏼👍🏼
