    Great as a treatment, but a bit misleading

    Hair type: Thick, naturally wavy, aging/greying brunette.

    Using this alongside the shampoo and conditioner, I did notice a difference. While the shampoo and conditioner left me wanting and frizzy, this actually had an effect on the colour and on the softness of my hair. I can't really rate it any higher, because I didn't feel it delivered on colour 'darkening' as it promised, but I did feel like my colour was a little deeper and more even overall. Despite the fact that it says it doesn't work on grey (something mentioned on the bottle if I recalle correctly), I do feel it also made my grey stand out less. This could be because it softened my hair so much, so the grey wasn't as frizzy and didn't rise to the top, rather than any colour change.

    This is colour deposting, but the colour is nowhere near as dramatic as on the bottle, though again my hair is natural so maybe that makes a difference. I was super pleased with how soft this left my hair. I left it on for ten minutes after combing it through and could feel a difference immediately while washing it out. While the shampoo and conditioner left my hair frizzy and thirsty, this nourished it and left it shiny and much smoother.

    Surprisingly, the scent wasn't bad and was barely there, just a faint perfumed scent.

    My recommendation would be to use this would the shampoo and conditioner and I did like it, but can't rate it higher due to the subtle effects and it not doing what it promised (didn't feel it was darker so much as a tone change). That being said, I would definitely use this as a hair treatment, because I loved how silky and shiny it left my hair. If it was sold as a tone changer and softening treatment I would snap it up and rate it five stars, proving that how you market something does matter.
