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.

Good color protection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shampoo is good. It laters fine and it’s better than many famous purple shampoo. This is good for color protection and it help in preventing brassy hair. The smell is tolerated. It is worth trying.

Darker then my regular purple shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I started using violet crush shampoo I noticed that it was much darker then my original purple shampoo. My original shampoo was more warm purple but this one was a cool dark purple with almost a navy hue! It was very easy to apply into my hair and I love my hair is loving it. It feel and looks less brassy and with a cooler tones

Just ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to love this shampoo. It smells amazing and did a great job cleansing my hair without leaving it feeling stripped or dry. I was however disappointed with the toning results. Instead of reducing the brassiness in my blonde hair it left a slight purple hue behind while still not toning as I had hoped. It may work better for others but for me the results were nothing to brag about.

Magic!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shampoo! I had very bronze blond hair and this really lightened up my hair. I used to use dry shampoo everyday to make my hair lighter and now I don't have to. I love the scent. It smells like I got my hair done at a nice salon.

Purple Shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is pretty good. My hair is light brown but can get brassy from red dye that was in it once upon a time. It does minimize the brass but I don't see a huge difference that a true blonde would.

Wonderfully Toned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this John Frieda Violet Crush shampoo and conditioner set. I love having white blonde hair. So keeping it toned it absolutely essential. This set keeps my hair hydrated while fighting off the brassiness. It doesn’t make my hair purple either, like others I’ve tried!

Purple Shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the John Frieda Purple Shampoo and Conditioner. I used it once a week on my blonde highlighted hair. After the first use, I noticed it was lighter. After a couple of weeks, my blonde is more white than I have ever seen it. This stuff definitely works to rid you of yellow tones. Make sure to use sparingly as it can and will dry out your hair.

Tones well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shampoo and conditioner are good at toning brassy hair and making my hair appear healthier in between coloring. However, I did find my hair to be drier than when I use my regular conditioner. If it was a bit more nourishing, I would give 5 stars. Do note I have very fine, brittle hair.

Brightens my hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really impressed by this shampoo. My hair had been getting a bit dull and brassy as I am between salon visits. It always seems intimidating adding a dark purple to improve a blonde look, but this really brightened me up. My only complaint is that it was a bit thin and drippy. However, this would not deter me from continuing to use it.

Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this product! It gets to yellow right out of my colored treated hair! It also smells pretty good and that is a plus for me. I have used it daily and my hair is not dry.

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works great. I have old highlights that are over a year old and my natural hair is pretty cool dark blonde. So my main goal is to tone all of my hair into the same tone to avoid bright line between colored and natural. The shampoo does the job. I wish the consistency was a bit thicker so it’d not make such a mess though. I usually used my regular shampoo first and the second time the purple shampoo. Within two uses my hair is pretty nice cool tone. I’d recommend using extra hydrating products to restore moisture, as purple shampoos tend to be slightly drying

No more Brassiness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes Shampoo free in exchange for my honest review. After using it a few times, I noticed my blonde hair looked brighter and less brassy without making my hair feel overly dry like some purple shampoos can. The shampoo has a nice lather, smells fresh, and a little goes a long way. I also liked that it toned down yellow tones fairly quickly, especially after just one wash. My hair felt clean and soft afterward, although I still used conditioner to keep extra moisture in my ends. The violet pigment is strong, so I made sure not to leave it on too long. The only downside for me was that if used too often, it can leave a slight purple tint on very light blonde pieces, so I’d recommend using it once or twice a week instead of daily. I think it’s a great option for blondes looking to maintain a cooler tone and reduce brassiness at home.

No More Brassy Yellow Hair!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hands down, one of the best purple shampoo's I have ever used. And trust me...I have used ALOT! The shampoo itself is a very strong purple color, but please don't let this deter you from using because the deeper the purple, the better it will erase brassy yellow blonde hair. John Frieda advises to keep it on for one minute before rinsing, but I would recommend no less than five if you want to neutralize that stubborn yellowness. Also use it every other wash to ensure your ideal blonde color remains fresh. John Frieda knows his blondes...so do yourself a favor and trust his products!

Nice color and great smell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have seen some change in my hair after using this shampoo. The brassiness and yellow tone seems to have calmed down. The shampoo is creamy and has a pleasant smell. I imagine my hair will continue to look more and more light and a calmer blonde as I continue to use the shampoo.

Great way to tone hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this shampoo for softly toning my hair in between appointments! It helps remove brassiness but doesn't stain my hair too much. I would only use it once a week or your hair will get too silver, unless that's your goal! It's powerful
