John Frieda Radiant Red Color Captivating Shampoo Reviews

When I go red...
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. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

I LOVE this stuff!
I've been using Radiant Red for a while now . . . I always dye my hair a black cherry, but it washes out pretty quick, even with dark brown hair. This product was suggested, and I've used it now for about 8 months! I dye my hair once every two months, and trust me . . . I HAVE gray hair!!! It doesn't work well in terms of adding color around my face, but my hair style hides that. The rest of my roots are still RED! My hair is soft (better when I found and started using the conditioner in conjunction with the shampoo). Everyone loves my "hair color", and they crack up when I tell them it's a shampoo :-D Can't say enough good about this one, and I usually don't do the whole review-a-product thing. — 4 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Drying, but brings out the highlights
My natural color is auburn that tends to fade out to brown and lose the red highlights at certain times of year. I color to punch it up, and I thought maybe this shampoo might help hold onto the red (natural and helpers) .While it does bring out the highlights and help me hang onto my added color, I find this shampoo extremely drying. (We have extremely hard water, which doesn't help.) I'm not crazy about the odor --it smells like a salon chemical I can't identify--and it gives my hair a strawlike feeling until I apply my conditoner. Because it does bring out my highlights, after some experimentation I found it works better when I lather once with this, rinse, and lather again with a really good conditioning shampoo for dry colored hair and use a really good conditioner. This combo seems to be the ticket, but it would be great if this shampoo actually did that without extra assistance from another shampoo!. — 11 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Works for me
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. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Love it!
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! — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 8 people said helpful

Terrible texture
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. — 2 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Adds natural highlights over time
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. — 3 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

Almost ruined my hair!
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. — 3 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
