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.

    Essential for platinum hair

    I’ve used this purple shampoo for years, since first loving the results. Unlike other purple shampoos I’ve tried, I genuinely notice results after a single wash. It also leaves my hair feeling clean and healthy. It works so well that I don’t even use the accompanying conditioner. I very much recommend this product to anyone with blonde or platinum hair.

    Violet Crush Shampoo- Top Tier Hair Care

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Violet Crush Purple Shampoo is one of the best shampoos I’ve ever used. It does exactly what it claims to do - and my hair is all the better for it. Overall, my hair is much healthier and vibrant than before I started using Violet Crush products. My hair has been its most blonde lately, ever since early on after I first got my hair colored. I wish I would have discovered Violet Crush sooner - it would have saved me a lot of money and bad hair days! I would recommend this to anyone - my friends, coworkers, colleagues, and even people I don’t even know. So here I am, recommending it to you! Do yourself a favor and go get some, save yourself the headache!

    The Perfect Blonde Refresh Shampoo

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with this shampoo! It does a great job brightening my blonde highlights and getting rid of brassy tones. I like that it left my hair looking cooler with brighter blonde tones. It doesn't make my hair feel overly dry, like other purple shampoos I have tried. The scent smells clean and salon-grade. Overall it is a great option for keeping blonde hair looking vibrant between salon visits.

    Works good

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It definitely works as it says. It got rid of the brassy tones and worked within 2 washes. I’m impressed. It moisturizes your hair and makes it silky soft as well.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shampoo makes a noticeable difference to my hair color without drying it. It also actually cleans my hair which I feel like a lot of purple shampoos I have tried do not

    Works so well!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not all purple shampoo is created equal and I put this duo at the top of the list! What I really like is that it doesn’t dry my hair out as others have. It feels great on the hair and rinses easily. It leaves my hair bright and shiny along with very soft.

    Best Shampoo for Blondes

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I love the packaging. It's clean looking without a lot of extra wording. And the word "shampoo" is clear enough to read while you have soap suds and water running down your face. That said, I have now used this for a week and noticed a big difference in my medium blonde hair. There are now highlights! But best of all, no brassiness and it doesn't strip my hair of color either. It's gentle enough for everyday use. I've used another purple shampoo in the past, and it wasn't as good as this one.

    Best blonde shampoo on the planet

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted a shampoo that kept my hair light and kept my hair from fading back to dark brown (my original color). I do dye my hair myself so it doesn't stay the color I want for as long as Being professionally done however the John Frieda violet crush has kept it almost silver and I am very pleased with it. I have used a lot of purple shampoos however this one make my hair some and smells better than the rest. The shampoo and Conditioner is definitely a set you have to get together. I will never use another blonde shampoo. I am staying with John Frieda.

    So cool

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the set of shampoo and conditioner and saw an improvement in the tone of my hair after only one use. It smells nice and lathers well too. I can’t think of any improvement except to make it a pump.

    Keeps Blonde Fresh

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The John Frieda Violet Crush shampoo and conditioner work well at keeping brassy tones out of my blonde hair. The shampoo is very pigmented, but I had zero issues with it staining my hands or my shower. It also left no purple deposits in my hair. It did not feel drying, as some purple shampoos can. The conditioner worked well at smoothing and detangling. I will definitely continue using this as needed for a refresh between highlights.

    Nice shampoo

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using this shampoo and could honestly tell a difference in the color tone of my hair after just one use. The deep purple color threw me off a bit the first time I used it, but it obviously works! The shampoo dispenses easily and it’s easy to work into my hair. It really helps with keeping my color treated hair looking fresh.

    Works well, but stains hands

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product did well at taking yellow/brassiness from my hair, but it did stain my hands purple for a day. My hair didn’t feel dry after either so that was a plus. I would recommend if you need a quick brighten and aren’t afraid to have purple hands
