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.

    Doesn't work

    It did not work like other purple shampoos on my hair. Tried a few times now and still no real results. Does dry out hair too.

    Easy solution

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed John Frieda Violet Crush for Blondes shampoo. I loved how it helped my hair look cooler, took almost all yellow undertone out.

    Works okay but drying

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product has more of a blue hue to a true purple. That being said, it does remove a lot of brassiness to my natural blonde hair that has built up over the years. It has a good smell, not too strong and is slightly sweet. It’s hard to place the actual scent profile. Make sure to immediately rinse your hands after each application as this will stain your hands. You’ll also see more of the blue color come out this way as it’s more noticeably blue than some other purple shampoos I’ve used. Compared to my regular shampoo, this was very drying on my hair.

    Make my blonde hair better

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo is amazing on my dry colored brassy hair. I have very dry frizzy hair and this shampoo has worked wonders for my hair. It’s a purple shampoo and so it lathers welll and I combine it with Violet Crush blonder conditioner and leaves my hair soft and manageable.

    Excellent Blonde Maintenance

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was able to take the brassy, yellow out of my hair in just one wash. It gave me the light platinum I was aiming for without having to over bleach my hair. Incredible results that are worth every penny.

    Great for icy blonde

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked great for icy blonde highlights that I have. They tend to get brassy and this took it right away. It lathers well and and you only need to leave on for 1 min. Cleaned hair well too.

    Perfect care for blonde hair

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo does remove brassy, yellowish tones with continuous use. It is recommended to leave it on for a minute (I leave it for a few). It smells great and make your hair feel soft and moisturized. Definitely recommend for both natural blondes and highlights.

    Decent shampoo and conditioner

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a good option for a purple shampoo and conditioner. It did seem to take some brassiness out and the smell was okay, not overpowering. I will say it’s not very hydrating- a little drying, which is to be expected for a purple shampoo/conditioner.

    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.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This purple shampoo instantly reduces the brassy and yellow tones in my hair. I love to use this whenever I feel like I need a good refresh on my hair color and it does the job very well! There’s a lot of product in the bottle as well.

    Good prduct

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the John Frieda Violet Crush shampoo and conditioner and really like them so far. The shampoo helps tone down brassy yellow tones without making my hair feel dry, and the conditioner leaves my hair soft and smooth. It gives my blonde a cooler, brighter look after just a few uses. I do wish it was a little more moisturizing, but overall it’s a great affordable purple shampoo set!
