No. The professionals behind the John Frieda® Collection recognize that blondes, brunettes and redheads, whether natural or colour-treated, have different care and texture needs. The Colour Care Collection identifies the different hair colour needs and addresses the unique ways in which each hair shade transforms light into a powerful colour and shine maximizing tool. The line, with Light Enhancers, optimizes the effects of light to make blonde, brunette and red hair look its best with more intense shine and vivid colour than ever before.

Choosing the appropriate product line to fit your hair-care needs will depend on what your needs are. If you have frizzy, colour-treated hair and your primary goal is to preserve your colour and increase shine, you should choose a shampoo and conditioner from either the Sheer Blonde®, Brilliant Brunette® or Radiant Red™ line. However, if your primary need deals with eliminating your frizz, you should choose a shampoo and conditioner from the Smooth Start®, Dream Curls® or Weather Works® line, depending on your specific style preferences.

Also note that products from the John Frieda® Collection can be combined to create a regimen that is customized to your specific hair-care needs. If your hair is colour-treated and frizzy, you may wish to shampoo and condition with the Sheer Blonde® or Brilliant Brunette® Moisturising shampoos and conditioners in order to rehydrate and revitalize damaged, dry hair. To specifically target frizz, use the Frizz-Ease® Thermal Protection serum on wet or dry hair as it not only helps prevent frizz, but also protects against the damage and colour fading caused by heat-styling & UV exposure.

No, none of the Brilliant Brunette® shampoos, conditioners or stylers deposit any colour. Instead, they work to make hair richer, radiant and more dimensional with each use. Reformulated with exclusive Enriching Technology to bring out natural highlights, Brilliant Brunette® products make unique brunette tones come alive with vibrancy and incredible lustre, without depositing any colour.

No, none of the Brilliant Brunette® shampoos, conditioners or stylers will noticeably darken blonde hair. The Brilliant Brunette® shampoos and conditioners polish and perfect each hair strand to create an ultra-smooth, highly reflective surface that shimmers like satin. With continual use, hair comes alive with multi-dimensional richness without darkening or dulling your natural or colour-treated hair.

Absolutely. Brilliant Brunette® products work perfectly to bring out the natural beauty of black hair. The same way as it works with brunette, our formulas with exclusive Light Enhancers, polish and perfect each hair strand to create an ultra-smooth, highly reflective surface that shimmers like satin. It is recommended that if you have black hair, you use Brilliant Brunette® Shine Release® Shampoo and Light Reflecting Conditioner in Hazelnut to Espresso. With daily use, this will rid hair of its dullness and add natural lustre for intense, mirror-like shine.

Yes, Brilliant Brunette® products can be used on grey or greying hair. The same way as it works with brunette, our formulas with exclusive Enriching Technology cleanse and perfect each strand by washing away dullness. Immediately, your grey hair will come alive with extraordinary lustre and shine. However, grey hair is most similar to blonde hair as it is naturally transparent, which means that buildup will immediately show, making the hair look brassy or dull. The Sheer Blonde® line removes the buildup that comes from the calcium and phosphorus in our water, so that your naturally transparent hair glistens and shines. It is recommended that if you have grey hair, you use Sheer Blonde® Highlight Activating moisturising shampoo and conditioner for Platinum to Champagne shades. The moisturising agents in these products help to diminish the effects of aging by replenishing dry hair with extra moisture, and work to restore dazzling highlights.

It is recommended that if you have light to medium-brown hair, you use Brilliant Brunette® Shine Release® products for Cognac to Maple hair. If you have darker-brown to black hair, then you should use Brilliant Brunette® Shine Release® products for Hazelnut to Espresso hair.

To achieve ultimate-shine you should use Brilliant Brunette® liquid shine shampoo and conditioner. Both are formulated with a Shine-Infusing Complex that lightly coats the hair for dramatically increased shine.  Brilliant Brunette® liquid shine can be used daily and is ideal for all shades of natural, colour-treated or highlighted brunette hair.  To seal in shine use Brilliant Brunette® Shine Shock® leave-on perfecting glosser. This lightweight creme delivers exquisite and highly reflective shine, while instantly smoothing flyaways and sealing split ends.

For sleek, straight styles that truly last, it is recommended that you start with Brilliant Brunette® Shine Release® moisturising shampoo and conditioner. These products work by restoring hair’s softness and moisture often lost during the styling process. Then, while hair is still damp, squeeze a small amount of Brilliant Brunette® Shine Shock® perfecting glosser and distribute evenly through hair. This lightweight formula, infused with silk protein, adds moisture while protecting strands from heat-styling damage. Next, blow dry hair and, if desired, use a straightening iron for extremely straight styles. Finally, rub a small amount of Brilliant Brunette® Satin Shine™ finishing creme into palms and distribute evenly over the surface of the hair. This illiuminates brown town for a silky sheen, while instantly smoothing flyaways, sealing split ends, and glossing away any imperfections.
