I honestly did not expect to love this as much as I do.
I bought Overtone in Cherry Chestnut thinking it would lean more cherry red. On my hair it actually came out with a gorgeous rich berry tone that has a hint of purple, and to my surprise, I like it even more. The color is dimensional, vibrant without looking unnatural, and catches the light beautifully.
The biggest surprise wasn't even the color. My hair has been through cancer treatment, so it's fine, damaged, and definitely not as full as it used to be. After using Cherry Chestnut, my hair feels incredibly soft, looks noticeably glossier, and somehow even appears thicker and fuller. It doesn't just add color, it makes my hair look healthier overall.
Then came the real test. I put it on my 88-year-old mother's hair, and now she's obsessed too! Her hair looked shinier, softer, and had so much more life. We both kept looking at each other saying, "Why does our hair look so good?"
I've tried plenty of products that promise healthier-looking hair, but this is one of the few that actually made an immediate visible difference while giving me a color I genuinely love.
Cherry Chestnut has officially earned a permanent place in my bathroom. I bought it for the color, but I keep reaching for it because of what it does for the health and appearance of my hair.
Absolutely five stars.
