XMONDO Color 5G Golden Brown Color Depositing Mask & Glossing Treatment Infused with Bond Boosters for Nourishment, Revitalize & Repair, Vegan Formula, 8 Fl Oz

This stuff is GREAT. I’m naturally a 7n hair color, been dying it box dye black for YEARS and about 6 months ago decided to grow out the black hair and opt for something more natural, I recently applied this to my “virgin hair” and it’s just as dark as black box dye. I got the “blue black” and I will say, it is a true “blue black”. I was using Transylvania by arctic fox and it would wash out and turn the bath water blue, then purple, then green. This is straight up “blue” black. It sticks much longer to virgin hair than arctic fox and it smells AMAZING and I love how thick it is and that it comes in a tub that’s easy to just put a glove on your hands and dip your fingers in the tub and apply to your hair. No squeeze bottle to have to grab and squeeze once your gloves are covered In dye. I made ZERO mess with this dye as opposed to other dyes that come In squeeze bottles. I haven’t noticed any bleeding onto bedding or clothing. And the best part is your hair feels so healthy and soft once you wash it out! This is the best option for anyone with naturally light hair looking to grow out black box dye. No permanent damage from bleaching the color out and no lines of demarcation from just trying to grow it out without any dye at all. Once it’s all grown out you just keep washing and washing until all the hair color is gone.

I’ve used the blue, purple and pink before and loved them. This was my first time trying copper/more natural shade. I have a lot of gray from immune issues and my hair was super dull before. I was worried about it looking red vs copper since I didn’t pre-lighten. But it turned out great. My grays are less noticeable for now and my hair looks loads healthier and thicker. My scalp is a little orange but that’s because i made sure i was very saturated- I cleaned up my part with a q-tip and micellar water.

Be very careful with this product. (5n) I have been dying my hair for a long time. I have a level 5 naturally. So I thought this would be perfect to refresh without having to dye it with color and developer. My hair was around a level 7 mids to ends highlights that was a lighter brown. with some highlights that were a lighter brown. So I knew those would take fast. I followed the instructions. On clean hair. Dry. But noticed as it went on. It looked black. Now this says to leave on for what? 15-20 minutes? I had it on for about 7 and began rinsing. My hair is black. The color running out was green. It stained my white tub blue and purple. I had to shampoo it multiple times times. Use some hacks online to pull some of it off but parts of my hair is still black. I’m going to have to go to a professional to get this semi color out. I am beyond disappointed with this product. I have used overtone, and other color depositing conditioners and have never had a dark brown turn black This color also was not hydrating to my hair at least and it was nearly impossible to work the product in. So yeah, my advice be very careful if you aren’t looking to have black hair while using the the 5n. If you use it. I wouldn’t do it on dry hair. And I’d also use conditioner to dilute the product. But for me. I will never use it again. Update: went to the salon. Did a CPR treatment and it barely removed any of the pigment. Now I’m stuck waiting for it to fade. But the stylist said I won’t get my color back unless bleach is used. So yeah… be careful.

I recently went from platinum blonde to lived in blonde with a natural 5/6 root. The contrast was really severe even with a perfect blend. I wanted to try something cool, but darker for fall without committing to something more permanent. This was the right choice! I've never been disappointed with anything from Xmondo thus far! I've actually been waiting for Brad to come out with the higher end colors of this mask! The 8A lived up to my expectations! It's really a classy beautiful ash without a severe gray tone. It looks very natural. Along with my seamless blend that's starting to grow out, it really shines! Before application I only shampooed my hair, and used a k-18 leave in. Once my hair was dry I worked from the nape of my neck up in small sections while using a detangling brush to make sure the product was going on evenly. It's really easy to apply, and the brush went smoothly through my hair without tangling. The product smells lovely too. I did twist it all up after application, and tucked it into a shower cap. I popped a beanie over it. I had to bake my sourdough bread, and walk my dogs along other evening tasks. I finished the application around 9pm then washed it out as directed with shampoo and conditioner. There's was barely any color rinsing down the drain. I'm not sure if it's that good for the vivids, but it didn't stain anything. The bonding tech in the product was very noticeable with how soft my hair felt while rising and shampooing. I added a picture of my hair wet and dry. The color was pretty true even when it was still wet. It felt amazing while I was drying my hair. The bonders were not slacking! It feels so silky soft! I baby my blonde but I still feel a difference after all is said and done. Smells lovely, too. I'm also going to be buying the xmondo fragrance spray. I just love the xmondo signature scents. All around it exceeded my expectations! Even with this rich color it still feels bright! I'm looking forward to seeing my hair in natural light in the morning! It's just a all around beautiful ash. I have very fair skin with dark blue eyes and this color just makes my look complete! My skin tone goes really well with this color and the blue in my eyes pops as much as it did when it was white white blonde! I am so very pleased!!

I wanted to love this product. I have wanted to try it for so long being a fan of the creator. I read that it said a single container could be about 2-3 applications. I assumed that meant for the average persons length and thickness of hair. I have above average length and thick hair! I figured it would be at least "one" full application for me. I ran out before I finished the top of my head. I was irriateted but, my fault. The consistency made it very loose, meaning it flung onto walls, dripped down my hair, and was just a mess! I have never had a messier product. It smelled fine, it went on kinda rough, not like a creme; smooth and moisturizing, but I could not comb my hair after application. The rinsing was my final straw. My shower was stained, horribly!! It was everywhere!!! I spent a good 40 minutes scrubbing my bathtub and walls and floors. And unfortunately there are still to this day (Dec. when purchased in Oct.) walls and spots that are stained brown. Subsequent shampooings also made a big mess until it fully washed out. Which to its credit was weeks later. (with twice a week shampooing). The best part was the color was gorgeous, it made my hair feel soft and nice. I wish I could recreate this product to not be so messy, and with the cost, I cannot justify purchasing 2 containers to cover my hair, every month or so.

Pros: very deep, cool brown, almost black. Extremely pigmented. Easy to use. Hair-strengthening technology (HHG.) Lots of emollients and conditioners. Decent price. Cons: messy. Bleeds when styling. Even after shampooing and when dry, the color rubs off if you touch it. Very thick, not as spreadable as expected. I used this to dye some hair extensions. The color is beautiful. The product is very conditioning and pigmented and deposits a lot of color. However, it bleeds much more than other semi-permanent hair colors. It bleeds not only when washing, but when styling, and even after it's dry.

Let me start by saying that I love Brad Mondo. I love watching all of his tutorials, reactions, etc and find them to be both entertaining and educational. I have been so badly wanting to incorporate some of his products into my hair care routine, such as his Forcefield Heat Shield, Hydrify Leave-In Conditioning Mist, Salty Sea Salt Spray, Wavetech Wave Setting Spray and Electric Rain Moisture Cream. I started writing my hair description in paragraphs, and that was way too long so I'm going to bullet point: Hair Type: I have ultra fine hair, it's like baby hair and while that's usually a flex ("Oooh, baby smooth skin!"), I don't feel like it is atleast when it comes to my hair. Hair Length: Down to my derriere. Hair Texture: Ultra curly and super tight wave patterns mixed. Curly Q's everywhere, especially on shorter pieces, and tight waves that end in curly Q's. It's a scary mess when natural. Hair Color: Dark blonde with once-a-year highlights. Moisture: Dry, very dry. Routine: Wash 1x week, lots of heat protectant, blow dry it out with blowout brush, either curling iron for waves or Le Duo into straightish waves. Finish with hair oil. So, finally we get to this product. A month ago, I got my annual highlights but I was lacking shine in my hair shortly after going to the salon. I was pretty bummed out about it for a few weeks and that's when I saw Brad Mondo's Clear Super Gloss treatment! I had the Christmas money to go ahead and splurge a bit on myself and ordered it right away! It arrived, I waited until hair washing day and followed the instructions. I washed my hair well, then dried it using cool/medium heat on low setting because I didn't want to put any product in since it reads "clean, dry hair" on the instructions. Opening the product initially, I thought it had a very subtle and pleasant scent. The texture was like a cream + gel mixture, and it's both silky and sticky. Very weird, but not a negative. Just is. I then got to work sectioning all my hair and completely coating every single strand. I started in my front fringe lengths, then went to the back to work my way back up to the front since my front fringe area was so dull. It took the entire container to coat my lengths. I went up to the roots in the top half of my hair because of the new highlights there. When it comes to value for money, I understand that the product itself costs money to manufacture, and also that MY choice to have extremely long hair IS going to cost ME more money to do things to it. With that in mind, a treatment like this covering my entire head of very long hair at least once is worth it. Most of the time I'd have to buy two of something, or if I ever box dyed my hair (hypothetically speaking, the only coloring or highlighting happening to this hair is from a licensed and insured hair stylist since 2010 when I bleached my own hair into mushy spaghetti) I would need at minimum, three boxes of dye. So, this treatment is worth the money in product coverage. I then used my tangle teezer brush to brush the product through my hair very, very gently and waited the 20 minutes before very thoroughly washing it out. I'm talking at least a 15 minute shower of designated rinsing with my detachable shower head. Remember, ultra fine hair and a lot of it. At first it was very thick to rinse, I had some slight concern but it did eventually rinse out well. This didn't bother me considering it's a glossing treatment - one should expect it to be a thick coating during the treatment process, right? Anyways, afterwards, I blow dried it and styled it into curling iron waves using all of my normal products. I am pleased to say that the visual effects were beneficial, my hair looks shinier than before. It also did not weigh down my hair anymore than it normally does on its own, again the "baby fine" curse that I battle using Sea Salt Spray and Dry Shampoo at my roots through the week. So why the 2 stars for a product that completely coats a massive amount of hair and does what it says it's going to do? Well, unfortunately for me, that subtle pleasant smelling product started smelling like fish and rotten eggs about 15 minutes after sitting on my hair. At first, it was very faint, but I also had my hair in one of my silk caps while it processed. The smell only worsened from that point on, through rinsing and styling. So even though I did achieve what it claims, I can't use this product again. It's been over a day later and my hair still clearly smells like fish and rotten eggs. I'm covering it with other heavily scented products to make it to the next wash day. I can't say with certainty if this foul smell will effect anyone else, though. In general, I already have a hard time just finding body soaps, deodorants, etc that won't make me smell like fish after mixing with my body chemistry. For example, I can use Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom body wash and smell great while Bath and Body Works At the Beach body wash makes me smell like a beached whale. The rotten eggs smell, however, is not a normal bad-mix-reaction scent for me. That's very specific to this product and myself. So bottom line: Product did what it says it's will do, but beware of a very foul odor that may or may not affect you. At least I look pretty if nobody gets too close to me to smell me?

I bleached my hair... and I mean bleach blonde.... I hated it but it was a clean slate for me if you will, this was the perfect product to add more color I wouldn't be able to achieve unless going to the salon. I will be purchasing this again, maybe even the subscribe and save as it saved me from looking like a Madonna wannabe. My hair is also so soft and shiny now. Glossed and glossier. Plenty of product left for a few more applications too!
