Our 8 Picks
dpHUEGloss+, Medium Brown - Boosts Fading & Faded Hair Color - 8-12 Applications per Bottle - Lasts Up to 8 Washes
What it is
A semi-permanent in-shower gloss that deep-conditions while refreshing medium brown color and adding warm-toned shine.
Why it's worth it
The weekly treatment helps maintain richness and softness in brunette shades, with each application depositing a sheer, warm tint to revive faded color. The brand states each treatment lasts up to eight washes, making it a good fit for extending salon results at home. The no-mix formula applies directly to damp hair and rinses out without damage.
Caveat
Not designed to cover gray hair or dramatically lighten existing color; it enhances rather than transforms.
Kristin EssHair Crystal Quartz Clear Hair Gloss for All Hair Types + Colors - Anti Brass Treatment for Women - Shine Boosting + Deep Conditioning Treatment - Vegan - Phthalates + Paraben Free
What it is
A colorless in-shower gloss treatment that boosts shine and conditions without depositing any tint.
Why it's worth it
The clear formula works across all hair colours and types, adding glassy luminosity without altering tone. Two bottles are mixed before application, with the brand stating results last three to four weeks. It is well suited to those wanting a fresh-from-the-salon shine between appointments without committing to colour.
Caveat
Mixing two bottles and leaving on for 10-20 minutes adds steps compared to single-tube glosses.
John FriedaBrilliant Brunette Luminous Glaze, Colour Enhancing Glaze, Designed to Fill Damaged Areas for Smooth, Glossy Brown Color, Brilliant Brunette Base, 6.5 Fl.Oz
What it is
A tinted in-shower glaze that boosts brown tones and leaves hair with a smooth, glossy finish.
Why it's worth it
The formula uses shine enhancers and pore menders to fill in damaged areas along each strand, helping to create a reflective surface. It adds a hint of glossy brown colour to natural, colour-treated, or highlighted brunette hair. Well suited to brunettes wanting to refresh depth and shine between colour appointments.
Caveat
The colour deposit is subtle and will not cover greys or lighten hair.
L’Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss One Step In-Shower Toning Hair Gloss, Neutralizes Brass, Conditions & Boosts Shine, Silver, 4 Ounce
What it is
A single-step toning gloss for gray or silver hair that neutralises brass, conditions, and adds shine.
Why it's worth it
No mixing or gloves are needed; it simply applies from one tube and rinses out. Designed to refresh silver and white tones, it is a good fit for women maintaining a cool, bright gray or blending silver strands. The brand lists a coconut oil-infused conditioning base that aims to keep hair soft during the toning process.
Caveat
The toning effect lasts around 10 days, so it is a temporary fix rather than long-term colour correction.
Christophe RobinShade Variation Mask Ash Brown 8.4 fl. oz | Nourishing, Color-Enhancing
What it is
A colour-depositing conditioning mask that neutralises brassy and red tones in brunette hair while boosting softness and shine.
Why it's worth it
Blue pigments help restore a cool, ash-brown appearance, making it well suited to brunettes noticing unwanted warmth between salon visits. The mask format delivers deep nourishment, smoothing cuticles for added gloss. The formula is designed to refresh colour without permanent commitment and gradually washes out.
Caveat
Since it contains blue pigments, leaving it on too long can lean overly cool; strand testing is recommended.
MoroccanoilColor Depositing Mask, 6.7 Fl. Oz
What it is
A temporary colour-depositing deep-conditioning mask in the Platinum shade that counters brassiness in light blonde hair for an icy, cool finish.
Why it's worth it
It deposits cool platinum tones while the brand’s ArganID technology works to repair and seal the cuticle, helping to smooth hair. This mask is a practical pick for those with highlights or bleached hair wanting to maintain a cool, salon-fresh blonde at home. The nourishing pigment fades gradually over several washes.
Caveat
Intended only for light blondes; it can appear muddy on darker bases.

What it is
A clear, in-shower rinse treatment that smooths the hair cuticle for high-gloss shine and softness.
Why it's worth it
Plant-derived humectants help the cuticle lie flat, creating a mirror-like reflective surface. Suitable for all hair types and textures, it adds a glassy finish without depositing colour. It is a good fit for anyone wanting a salon-level shine boost between visits, without altering tone.
Caveat
It sits at a higher price point compared to other clear gloss treatments.

What it is
A bond-repairing mask that hydrates and strengthens dry, damaged, or colour-treated hair.
Why it's worth it
Proteins work to restore broken hair bonds, while sunflower seed extract nourishes to improve smoothness and manageability. It is well suited to those with bleach, colour, or heat damage, helping to smooth the cuticle so hair reflects more light. The brand suggests it can be used weekly to maintain resilience between salon visits.
Caveat
As a strengthening treatment, it does not deposit colour or tone; pair it with a gloss for an all-in-one shine and repair routine.
