The rest of the products in the Sheer Blonde® line will not permanently affect color. The Highlight Activating Shampoos and Conditioners work to intensify glistening highlights by gently removing dulling buildup and residues that can make blonde look dark and dull. The Lustrous Touch® Shampoo and Conditioner fortify and protect for strong, sparkling blonde that looks and feels like satin.
- If I have brunette hair with blonde highlights, will Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating products lighten my brunette shade?
No, none of the Sheer Blonde® products will change the color of your brunette hair. The Highlight Activating Shampoos and Conditioners do not deposit or add any color and instead, work to rid hair of dulling residue that can make hair look dark and dull. As a result, your hair will be restored to its intended shade, allowing the natural clarity of your color to shine through.
- If I have color-treated, frizzy hair, should I use products from the Sheer Blonde®, Brilliant Brunette® or Radiant Red® lines, or from the Frizz-Ease® line?
Choosing the appropriate product line to fit your hair-care needs will depend on what your needs are. If you have frizzy, color-treated hair and your primary goal is to preserve your color 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® line.
Also note that products from John Frieda® Hair Care can be combined to create a regimen that is customized to your specific hair-care needs. If your hair is color-treated and frizzy, you may wish to shampoo and condition with the Sheer Blonde® or Brilliant Brunette® 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 heat-styling & UV exposure.
- Are Sheer Blonde®, Brilliant Brunette® and Radiant Red® products only for those who color their hair?
No. The professionals behind John Frieda® Hair Care recognize that blondes, brunettes and redheads, whether natural or color-treated, have different care and texture needs. John Frieda® Hair Care identifies the different hair color needs and addresses the unique ways in which each hair shade transforms light into a powerful color and shine maximizing tool.
- Can I use this on my gray hair?
Absolutely. Sheer Blonde® products work perfectly to bring out the natural beauty of gray or graying hair. The same way as it works with blonde hair, our formulas refresh and perfect the hair’s tone to play up your purest, bright gray. Like blonde hair, gray hair is transparent by nature 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 gray hair, you use the Sheer Blonde® Highlight Activating Enhancing Shampoo and Conditioner for Lighter Shades. The moisturizing agents in these products help to diminish the effects of aging by replenishing dry hair with extra moisture, and work to restore dazzling highlights. The Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray will not affect gray hairs at all because gray hairs do not contain melanin, which is what the spray reacts with to lighten. If you have blonde hair with some gray, the Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray will help to blend the gray by lightening the blonde strands.
- What products can I use to give my hair more body?
For over-processed, lifeless hair, it is recommended that you start with Sheer Blonde® Highlight Activating Enhancing Shampoo and Conditioner. This works by restoring hair’s softness and moisture often lost during the coloring process.
- I have brown hair with blonde highlights. Should I use Brilliant Brunette® or Sheer Blonde® products?
It is recommended if you have highlights that you use the John Frieda® Hair Care color shade that best matches your desired benefit. If you are looking to brighten your highlights, you should use the Sheer Blonde® product line. This will rid hair of the dulling deposits that can darken blonde, leaving highlights soft and glistening. However, if you are looking to enhance hair’s shine and luminosity, it is recommended that you use the Brilliant Brunette® product line. This will illuminate hair’s rich multi-dimensional tones, resulting in exquisite, dazzling shine. If desired, you can use both products interchangeably to receive both sets of benefits.
- How do I know which shade variant is right for my hair?
It is recommended that, if you have very light platinum blonde hair with cool undertones, you use the Sheer Blonde® Highlight Activating products for Lighter Shades. If you have darker blonde hair with warm undertones, you should use the Sheer Blonde® Highlight Activating products for Darker Shades.
- My blonde hair gets brassy shortly after coloring my hair. Is there anyway to correct this so my hair stays salon bright without the brassiness?
Among blondes, brassiness is a major hair issue. You can easily correct this by using Sheer Blonde® Color Renew Tone Correcting Shampoo and Conditioner. With optical brighteners and lavender this tone correcting shampoo and conditioner neutralizes brassiness and yellow tones for noticeably brighter blonde hair. This shampoo and conditioner is excellent for both color-treated and highlighted blonde hair. Most users see a difference in just 3 uses.
- How can I lighten my blonde color so that it is lighter and brighter without going to the salon?
You can use Sheer Blonde® Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo, Conditioner, and Spray to gradually lighten your hair for an all-over sun-kissed look. Both the shampoo and conditioner are formulated with citrus and chamomile, and are ammonia and peroxide free so it’s gentle enough for daily use. The Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray contains citrus and chamomile, as well as a patent-pending technology that combines polymers with hydrogen peroxide to lighten hair.
