Description

Blonde hair looking more yellow than golden? Brassiness creeps in gradually, dulling your color and making highlights look tired. John Frieda Violet Crush Purple Shampoo delivers a solution that works in as little as one wash, restoring the cool, bright tones you want.

This purple shampoo uses crushed violet pigments to neutralize unwanted yellow and orange tones for a cooler, brighter blonde in one use. Infused with provitamin B5, this shampoo for blonde hair effectively cleans your hair without stripping it of essential moisture. Whether you have color-treated blonde, natural highlights, or lightened locks, the purple pigments work to brighten and cool your shade while leaving hair feeling fresh and clean. Plus, the cruelty-free formula is peroxide and ammonia-free, and free of parabens and phthalates, so you can feel good about what you're using.

Use this shampoo as part of your regular routine whenever brassiness starts to appear, or incorporate it weekly to maintain your ideal tone. Apply to wet hair, massage through from roots to ends, and let it sit for one to three minutes before rinsing. The longer you leave it, the more toning power you get. It works well alternated with your regular shampoo for balanced maintenance. For optimal results, pair this purple shampoo with John Frieda Violet Crush Conditioner.

Stained my hands and nails purple!

Not only did John Frieda change the bottle he also changed the formula. The shampoo stained my hands and my acrylic nails! I have been using different brands of purple shampoos for the last 8 years and I have never had this happen to me before. Never buying this product again!

Fantastic shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes Shampoo free for my honest feedback. This shampoo smells amazing. You only need a little bit and it lathers up nicely. I love how it brightens my hair color and really makes it shine.

dries out hair crazy style

i used this in conjunction with the purple conditioner for about 2 months, washing 1-2 times a week, on naturally wave/curly, no heat, and bleached hair. it was just okay at toning my hair, a lot of the brassiness was maintained (no matter how long i let it sit) on me personally but that could be a lightening issue i need to resolve. but it dried out my hair like nobodies business!! dry, brittle, and caused a lot of breakage (the last thing you want more of on lightened hair!!!). i would not recommend this.

Knocked the brass out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as a free sample. I immediately noticed a decrease in the brass color that wouldn't tone down previously. I have been using it half the time when washing and conditioning, as it doesn't provide quite the moisture boost that my usual brand provides. However, it will still have a place in my routine because it delivers on the color I was hoping to achieve!

Great for blondes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received John Frieda Violet Crush for blondes shampoo and conditioner for free in exchange for my honest review. I absolutely loved it. I’ve been looking for something to calm the brassy tone after I get my hair colored, and I’ve found it. The shampoo made me nervous at first because it is purple. But it rinsed off of everything easily. The conditioner left my hair feeling soft and manageable. I will not be without this in my shower ever again.

John Frieda Violet Crush Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes Shampoo & Conditioner for free, and I was pleasantly surprised by the results. The purple shampoo helped neutralize brassy and yellow tones quickly, leaving my blonde hair looking cooler and brighter after just a few uses. The conditioner provided good hydration and made my hair feel soft without weighing it down. I also liked that the formula cleanses effectively without stripping moisture from the hair. Overall, it’s a great option for maintaining fresh, salon-looking blonde tones at home.

Keeps the brassy blonde away!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes Shampoo for free for my honest review. I have blonde colored hair, and this shampoo did a good job of quickly getting the brassy look out of my blonde. I did find that it wasn’t the best at cleaning my roots, so I like to alternate this shampoo with my regular shampoo so that I get clean hair with a great blonde look. The purple color of this shampoo can also be a bit messy, especially if you have a white shower curtain. I’d still recommend it because it makes my blonde look so good.

Works so well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes Shampoo from PinchMe. It works so well after just one use. I noticed my blonde hair looked brighter right away. I paired it with the conditioner which I think helped. Only downside is it makes a mess of the shower.

Turned my hands purple!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These John Frieda Violet Crush shampoo and conditioner are effective at cleaning and conditioning the hair. I didn’t get much of a lather with the shampoo, but the conditioner definitely helped detangle and condition my hair. My one big complaint is that the shampoo turned my hands purple! It is a little messy to dispense and I was worried it would stain my shower if I didn’t clean up any spills. My har did look a little brighter after using this. I received these products for free in exchange for my honest opinion

Great color enhancer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love, love love this purple shampoo and conditioner. I'm getting older and my hair color is turning more of a grey. The purple color and really enhanced and beautified my hair color. I've gotten a lot of unsolicited compliments on my hair color. Multiple people have told me that my hair color is so beautiful and that people pay a lot of money to get my color. I'm torn between telling them what I use or keep this my little secret.

great for brassiness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have blonde or blonde highlighted hair, John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes Shampoo & Conditioner is the perfect combo to restore the vibrance of your blonde in just one wash. I love a great purple shampoo and conditioner and this one is great. My highlights always seem to turn brassy after awhile but this combo revitalizes my blonde, making it cooler, and brighter and blonder in between salon visits.
