Works for me
carol_dodd (1 reviews)

I was always a natural strawberry blonde. As I age, my hair is tending more and more to the 'blonde' part of that, and nothing I ever wanted. I've used this shampoo once or twice a week just to brighten up the red highlights and it worked very well for that. I don't use gobs of it. A little bit goes a long way because it seems to be heavy on moisturizer. I've been having trouble finding it lately in the chain supermarkets and drug stores where I used to be able to buy it. Plenty of stuff if you're blonde or brunette, but nothing for red heads. — 1 year ago

When I go red...
MissPoison (94 reviews)

If you're a colored redhead, which I occasionally am, you know how hard it is to maintain your color. I can never tell if this shampoo helps, but it certainly doesn't hurt. It's not as good as the original Radiant Red version, which was awesome, but it's still a decent product if you don't want to spend more than $10 per product. I highly recommend glazing several times a week as well to help this product work as it should. — 1 year, 1 month ago

Love it!
Valcanhouser (1 reviews)

I've been using this and the conditioner for a while now. I haven't noticed whether or not it helps my natural red color, haven't really paid much attention to whether it does or not. I use just this and the conditioner, and sometimes I also mix a couple other shampoos in with it. My hair usually ends up feeling lighter, softer, and silkier, kinda like corn silk. I love it! — 1 year, 1 month ago

Terrible texture
fili (12 reviews)

This shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel dry. It also caused me to have split ends (which I don't usually have since I don't use heat styling). I also have to use a ton and my hair doesn't feel clean. I don't think it helped my color, either, if I'm honest. I switched to Pantene and I've gotten more complements on the shine and smell. There was no lather, either. — 1 year, 8 months ago

Adds natural highlights over time
Jane10 (1 reviews)

Ok, so maybe it didn't make my color last but over time it added natural looking highlights at a time when I couldn't afford a trip to the salon. When used over with a one note color out of the box it really added dimension to my hair. I love this product. But no, it didn't keep any color, it added it. — 2 years ago

Almost ruined my hair!
Jessie9 (1 reviews)

I was blond for six years, I used the John Frieda for blond hair shampoo and really liked it. So when I decided to go back to my natural color, redish-brown, I bought the John Frieda for red hair. I was using it and my hair kept getting more and more coarse. I finally figured out it was the shampoo, I just thought how could the blond shampoo be good and the red shampoo be so bad! My hair was so dry, coarse, and frizzy. It took alot of conditioning and haircuts to get it healthy again. — 2 years, 2 months ago

Radiant Red....love it!
faustv (1 reviews)

I'm a brunette and have tried many hair products....not one has made my hair shiny, bouncy and my waves more wanted then anything else. All the others don't compare to John Frieda's Radiant Red Shampoo and Conditioner. I have used this for many months till it was taken off the shelves. I finally found a store who had them and bought it again, tho paying the $7.50 each was a little pricey for me. But if I LOVED it...and made my hair look good...I would be happy to pay that $7.50 again and again. If your brunette...I would advise you to try Radiant Red!! — 1 year, 10 months ago
