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.

Orangey blonde no more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this John Frieda duo, smells great, feels great conditions great and takes all the bad colors out of your blonde. I had gotten really brassy and was ready to fry my hair again when this lovely package showed up for me to review from pinchme and John Frieda, No need for another bleach job now, this did the trick in one wash... even better on the second.

Handles brassiness after coloring hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes Shampoo & Conditioner from pinchme. I color my blonde hair to cover grays, but hate the red, brassy tones caused by coloring. I have tried many brands of hair colors, and always have the same brassy tones. This purple shampoo and conditioner helps neutralize the unwanted red tones and give me a purer blonde more like my natural color. The shampoo lathers well, the conditioner leaves my hair soft, and the purple doesn’t require scrubbing off my tub. This product is what you need if you want to calm brassy tones in blonde hair.

Help keep my hair blonde

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mugged up my hair by going darker and I couldn’t rebleach my hair without damaging it any further, thank god this came in the mail for me. I was able to bring back my natural blonde and even got rid of the orange and brassy red undertones. Definitely recommend it didn’t damage my hair any more

Great affordable option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My hair is dark blond and is bleached light platinum. It tends to turn very yellow quite quickly so i use a number of purple tinted products. This one didn’t have as much pigment as I would like but is a good affordable option and left my hair looking healthy.

Removes brassiness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of this product. It did what it says by reducing brassiness. You do have to be careful as the purple formula is noticeable on hands and skin.

Nice shampoo for blonde hair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo was nice, but not amazing. It didn't lather as much as I like. It has a pleasant scent, and an unusual color. It was a nice consistency. It didn't impact my styling at all. I feel like it was good for my color, but am just not certain, as I didn't notice any significant difference.

It works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I prefer a different brand, this worked well for me. I liked the accompanying conditioner, but it constantly made me worry about tinting my hair that color instead of toning it correctly.

Great purple shampoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a bottle of this shampoo from free in exchange for my honest review. It helps take the brassiness out of my hair and doesn't stay my sink or bathtub. It leaves my hair soft.

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!
