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

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!!

The pigment in this is insane. Unfortunately, It was too bright/orange for my skin tone. I did a test strand and liked it but when it was on my whole head, it was overpowering and NOT my shade. Nothing bad to say about the product, in fact I ordered other colors and LOVE the Berry color. Just be careful because even though it is semi perm...it HOLDS. (The picture is inside...it is even brighter in the sun)

This review is specifically for the 5N /dark brown color Scent - same scent as other xmondo products. To me it is very jasmine perfume. I personally don’t care for the scent but some people love it. I can deal with it but could be a negative if you are sensitive to fragrance. Or it could be a huge plus if you love the scent Packaging - solid quality feel packaging. Nice wide opening allows you to easily access the product whether using a brush or hands. No need for color bowls. Value - I’d say this heavily depends on your hair. Short hair will probably get 3-5 uses. I have shoulder length hair and looks like I’ll get 2-3 uses. Longer hair may get one use or need 2 for really long hair. Feel - thick consistency. Nice that it’s not runny. You have good control over it. Like a thick conditioning mask Caution this WILL stain on contact. Make sure you are careful to cover the area you are working in and wear gloves. I have a dark tile shower but I would not be surprised if this would stain a white tub. I would def say have the bleach ready to go to clean up immediately. Color - obviously this will vary by person but here’s my experience. I have naturally dark hair (level 4). I also have some grey and bleached highlights. I have been trying to transition to a lower maintenance hair routine in the last 2 years and mainly using semi permanent color (professionally done). I’m not a stranger to dark hair. I’ve had level 3 color in the past (which for most people is essentially black). I am not a hairdresser but imo this is not a level 5 color as the name would imply. To me, getting my hair colored for 20 years on my base, this is a 3/4. It is very very dark, almost black. I’d strongly suggest doing a test strand if going too dark is a concern for you. There are a lot of green undertones so you will not have any warmth. Would I recommend? No. Do the test strand. For myself, I feel like I need something softer at this point. This color feels a bit harsh on me but it may be exactly what you’re looking for. Update - I tried the 5G color. Mistake! This has such heavy red tones that I look like red was my intended color. Extremely disappointed and will not be trying any more of these colors. I actually went to sally beauty to see if they had anything to help the heavy red brassy tones. Thankfully it’s semi permanent so I’ll be trying clarifying shampoo and blue shampoo to hopefully quickly reduce the unwanted color. Honestly the reaction when I told the lady I had used this said it all. Not recommended

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.

Maybe it’s just my hair (fine and not highly processed), but this product left a horrible coating on my hair that made it look like it hadn’t been washed for a month. No shine. I had to wash and wash to get it out.

A fantastic, long-lasting, natural blonde. Perfect for covering those first grays. Easy to apply. Gives hair a shine. Easy to apply in gaps the very next day. The best hair color product I've ever used. Thank you, Brad Mondo, for the XMONDO products!

Delivered in time in perfect condition. Amazing product as all Brad Mondo products are. So easy to use My hair is soft and shiny

Amazing product. A little darker than I expected but better than my previous yellow blonde. My hair feels so much softer after this and it smells amazing, I keep smelling my hair like a crazy person.

It smells great and made my hair shiny but no grey coverage at all. Within 1 wash you could see the Grey's.
