Grace, a shopping writer for Mirror, tested a £15 wash-out tint on her hair to see if she could go pumpkin spice copper over the weekend. As a result, she tested the wash-out tint.
What better color to use than copper pumpkin spice for my hair to get ready for the season than this weekend to lean in to the fullness of autumn? Copper has grown in popularity as a popular autumn hair color thanks to searches for “copper hair dye” increasing by 80% in the UK over the past three months.
And I was so excited to try out this current auburn tone on my own. My hair was naturally ginger and vibrant when I was younger, but as I got older, it started to gradually turn blonde/brown hybrids, which I’m starting to tire of.
However, I decided to stick to a tinted gloss or color-depositing mask rather than make a permanent commitment, which is really not my style. I made the decision to try out a Josh Wood Color Hair Gloss after doing extensive research.

I had a few concerns that the Copper Gold tint would turn my hair too artificially orange for my liking, but my hair does. I therefore made the perfect shade by combining Copper Gold and a small amount of Caramel.
The gloss, priced at £15 on Amazon, is essentially a semi-permanent home hair colour treatment mask enriched with perilla oil and shea butter that helps to deeply condition your locks, while providing a colour refresh.
The procedure was impossible to simplify. To clean, damp hair, simply apply the product like you would a hair mask. Allow it to work its magic for 10 to 20 minutes (I would suggest 20), then rinse. My hair was transformed into the warm, coppery vibes I was looking for in less than 30 minutes.
The gloss was what most bothered me. I almost looked like I had a salon treatment, with my hair looking healthier, smoother, and shinier.
The gloss is designed to last for up to six washes, making it the ideal low-commitment method for testing out different color combinations of hair.
After about three washes, my tint mostly dried out. I wasn’t surprised to see the tint wash out pretty quickly because red pigments don’t stick to the cuticle of the hair as well as other colors, making copper tones much harder to maintain than browns and blondes. This is largely because brown pigments don’t.
I had some leftover bleach from a balayage last summer, so I was skeptical that the gloss would cling unevenly to areas of light in my hair. However, I had no problem with this at all.
