Darkened my hair too much. Lost all my highlights when applied
Cheryl Meril –
I have shoulder length hair. left this on for 10 minutes after shampoo/conditioner and then rinsed it out with semi-cold water. The interesting thing is that I have colored blonde hair, and it was like putting a toner on my hair. It changed the color a little bit, but the shine feels amazing, and my hair feels amazing. My hair has changed a lot as Ive gotten older, but now it feels Ms looks so much healthier it’s just unbelievable. I have tried all kinds of different oils and shines. This is some thing that coats your entire hair. Definitely worth a try. I’m not sure how long it will last before I have to do it a second time, but I think it’s gonna last a little bit. My hair feels amazing!

I have recently developed an allergy to hair dye . Even though I only ever used demi-permanent color, I am now reactive to anything I put on my hair that has peroxide. Guess what? EVERYTHING HAS PEROXIDE. When I try to use it, if feels like I am putting acid on my scalp and every place it touches turns red and inflamed. Not cute.
I am already allergic to henna, so that is definitely not an option, plus I never cared for the orange henna look. I have been feeling paranoid that I’ll be a gray-haired old lady way before my time if I don’t find a solution.
For years Loving Care was a great choice for deposit-only color with no peroxide or ammonia. They stopped making it, and now the only deposit-only truly semi-permanent colors are Manic Panic and those like it in radical colors. Those are great, but a lot of us just wish we could have natural color that lasts for 12 washes and doesn’t contain ammonia or peroxide or anything else to lift the color of the hair. I don’t really want blue and purple hair. There is a no peroxide/no ammonia brand out of Canada that gets mixed reviews, and also a few Indian brands but I’m hesitant because they seem so off-brand. Using spray-on gray coverage is just SAD. So I’ve been freaking out.
I have only been coloring my hair for a few years to combat stray grays, and in that time my hair has become brittle and dry. I always prized myself on luxurious long hair, so I really wanted to find a way to blend the grays and let my hair grow out undamaged.
I really wasn’t expecting much from this, but I thought if it’s truly a color-depositing glaze, maybe it will blend my grays. I have about 20% that blended well with my natural dark blonde/light brown hair when I colored my hair with light golden brown or medium brown.
I didn’t use the John Frieda glaze exactly as directed. I got out of the shower after shampooing and toweling dry, and applied it like I would regular hair color, using gloves. It definitely stains skin so make sure to wipe off your face and neck if it drips! I completely saturated my long hair — I’d say I used about half the bottle. Then, I let it sit for 5-6 minutes before rinsing very well. I felt like I couldn’t even get all the product out of my hair with a lot of rinsing, so I actually shampooed it again with a color-safe shampoo. It still felt silky and glossy after the shampoo, and I could still smell the rather intense John Frieda fragrance. It’s not BAD by any stretch, but it’s definitely a strong scent.
I was really surprised when I dried my hair. The grays were a light blondish brown — like highlights. The rest of my hair was soft and so shiny I couldn’t believe it was from a drugstore product. I LOVE how natural it looks. And this was even though I shampooed again AFTER using it. A few of my grays are still shinier than the others but it looks totally multitonal and natural.
Today I washed my hair again and did not use the glaze, curious to see if it completely washed out. To my delight it did not! My grays are still beigey golden brown, and my hair is still so shiny and soft. I will use it again next shampoo, using less product than before and not shampooing after. I also am planning to try the other Brunette treatments — the deepening color treatment and the gloss. I will be so happy if I can grow out all my damaged hair and blend the gray ones — all without an allergic reaction! I honestly don’t mind doing this every shampoo if I can continue to have these results and allow my hair to regrow without the damage of regular dye. I will update with more as I continue use. I have a feeling you can build the color with this. (I’ve seen a YouTube video of a woman who turned her salt and pepper hair brown using the Frieda brunette shampoo and conditioner ONLY, so I’m kind of intrigued to just make this brunette line my go-to. She had far more gray than I do, and it looked really natural and pretty light brown after using the shampoo and conditioner for a month. I didn’t even know the shampoo and conditioner deposited color.)
I did not notice even a hint of orange in my hair. Even in bright sunlight it’s golden chocolate BROWN. I’m thrilled. YMMV but I give this a hearty thumbs up. Try it!
UPDATE: May 19, 2019
Okay, this line is incredible. I added the Brunette deepening shampoo, as well as the Brunette multi-tone conditioner and I don’t think my hair has looked this good in decades. I’ve only washed and treated my hair four times and I feel like it is a million miles away from where it was before I discovered the line.
I use the glaze before I shampoo, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes like I would regular hair color. I wash it out with the Brunette deepening shampoo, letting the shampoo itself sit in my hair for another 3-5 minutes. (The shampoo is also color-depositing, but it doesn’t stain your scalp and hands like the glaze does.) It’s easy to let the products do their thing while I do the rest of my thing in the shower.
After that, I condition with the multi-tone conditioner, rinse, and get out of the tub. My hair is so close to the color it was before I started messing with hair dye that invariably always turns brunette hair orange. I don’t have that weird red tint most dark colors give you, even if they call themselves brown and even if they call themselves COOL brown. My grays are now dark golden/caramel without a hint of red, and the rest of my brown hair is silky and dark chocolate brown. I’ve had so many compliments on my hair in the last week it’s WEIRD. And instead of feeling straw-like and crunchy like when I used to color it, my hair is soft soft soft and shiny like my 14 year old daughter’s hair. I haven’t had to use a de-frizz spray or argan oil or leave-in conditioner.
I also bought the John Frieda Go Blonder no peroxide no ammonia shampoo and conditioner to see if I can get my ends looking sunkissed while the top of my graying head gets darker. (Multiple uses really does build color!) At the very least, I don’t need to let the ends go any darker, and if I can bring out some of the highlights with no peroxide, it will be great.
The key to using all of these products for me is to let the stuff sit on my head long enough to work. And they WORK!!! I honestly never thought something like this would work so well!
A note about the fragrances of the shampoo and conditioner: The deepening shampoo is a sweet floral that is not as strong as the glaze. The multi-tone conditioner (I couldn’t find the deepening conditioner) smells so much like THierry Mugler’s fragrance Angel, I would almost call it a dupe. I happen to adore that fragrance so I was happy! If you like modern fragrances like Angel, Alien several of the recent Calvin Klein fragrances or even the timeless Chanel #5 then I think you’d like it. All of the fragrances are fairly strong (except for the shampoo) but all fade to a delicate level after rinsing in the shower. I don’t feel like I’ve dumped perfume on my head, and it’s not cloyingly floral or citrus.
I still haven’t tried the deepening treatment or the brunette gloss, but both bottles are now waiting for me to try them. I’ll see which is my favorite of the three — gloss, glaze or deepening treatment. Upon inspection, the deepening treatment looks more coffee, less chocolate in tone so it might be really good for the very top of my head where the gray is (WAS!) most prominent.
I am overjoyed to have found this stuff. Don’t stop making it EVER, John Frieda!!!
July 17, 2019 update:
My hair has honestly not looked this good since my 20s. All gray is caramel golden. My brunette is deep chocolate and all of my hair is so shiny and healthy. I’m using the entire line and I will do so as long as John Frieda keeps making these incredible products. I’m
Including a picture to show off!
Sean Ford –
I love this product. I’ve tried lots of semi-permanent dyes, and they either didn’t cover the gray, or they made the rest of my hair way too dark. This covers most of the gray and brightens the rest of my hair.
Marie McQuade –
So this has worked well for several years to subdue gray hair successfully. However, it’s not shiny on older people’s hair 50s+. It’s dull for me at least. I use it twice a week. It’s a good alternative to color treatment. No sulfur etc.
Amie –
Very disappointed with this. It’s had no impact on the colour or glossiness of my hair. I was dismayed to read you have to use it every time you wash your hair. Waste of money
Happy Amazon Customer –
Finally after so many years I would say this product is back on amazon, I always loved it abd it was impossible to find any, so as soon as I saw it back on sale I took a plunge and forked out whooping 28 quid for it and? Well, as I started to pour on my gloved hand I quickly realized that consistency is not what it was before, but I still went ahead and applied as directed.After waiting like 15 min I rinsed and yes, there was brown gloss but not shade I was after, so yeah, will not buy anymore, because its too expensive and not true thing
Regular Reader –
Really pleased with this product. Followed the instructions except I left it on my hair a little bit longer. shampoo, rinse, towels dry, apply this product for 10mins and rinse.
vita syciova –
I love this stuff from years ago but I wouldn’t buy agin as the cost of it now is impossible to keep up with becouse it has to be used with every hair wash if the price was the same as when you could buy it in the shops I would defnutly continue to use it
Cali –
I usually have pretty nice hair. I’m half-Japanese, so my hair is a dark brown yet behaves like silky Asian hair. Normally this sounds great, considering my American friends are always straightening their hair like crazy to tame it, while mine stays flat. The bad thing is, my hair lacks volume, dimension, and texture. It’s super smooth, lays flat, and doesn’t want to do anything else. Curling my hair is a pain, as is getting the roots to fluff up. I usually wake up looking like someone dumped water on my hair and it dried that way.
So I figured the best thing I could do is go with what I had and work it. I’m getting ready for a trip to California and I want my hair glossy and sleek – ready to combat the dry, sun-drenched and salty air. So I bought this on Amazon and gave it a shot.
According to the instructions (which were missing from the box, by the way), you shampoo and condition your hair like normal. Then squeeze out as much water as you can and apply the gloss. It’s the consistency of shampoo, but opaque dark brown with golden sparkles in it. You’re supposed to slather this all over your hair from roots to tips. Problem is, dry hair doesn’t allow product to spread very well. Especially with long, mid-back length hair. I ended up using quite a bit of product (about 2 good squeezes, maybe 1/12 of the bottle).
Immediately my hands stained, and I freaked out when it didn’t come off. I rubbed the product all over my hair and put it up in a clip. Then (I was thinking ahead here!), I put on a shower cap so the brown product wouldn’t drip down my back and leave a drip stain. Then I finished up my shower, shaved, and came back to my hair. This time, I flipped my hair upside down to wash out the gloss. No way I was letting it wash down my back.
I lightly towel dried it, but some still rubbed off on my white towels. It wasn’t until I used the hairdryer that I noticed the gloss was working. My hair didn’t tangle or frizz up. It looked a bit shinier and was really smooth to the touch. It also gave my hair volume, which was nice!
What it didn’t do was emphasize the brunette or dimensions of my hair. The added shine was probably…I’d say…my hair was about 25% shinier. But it was much softer and fluffier than before.
PROS:
– actually gives your hair some shine
– lays your wild hairs flat and smooth
– adds volume! yaaaaaayyyy!!!
– detangles instantly
– smells nice (mild coconut-ish?)
– gives roots some lift
– not terribly expensive
– doesn’t stain your bathtub
– easy to use (3-5 minutes in the shower)
CONS:
– if you have longer than shoulder-length hair, you use a lot
– stains your hands a tiny bit (scrub like a mad person to remove)
– stains your white bath towels a bit (bleach like crazy to remove)
– a bit pricey considering you’re supposed to use it daily
OVERALL:
I’d buy this again, but I’m docking it a star because for a daily use product, this stuff is expensive. I might get 10-12 uses out of it. Considering I wash my hair daily (again, oily Japanese hair), this would break the bank. The more you use it, the more shine it adds. But I’ll save this for a weekly routine to revitalize my hair. The shine really isn’t that noticeable. If your hair looked awful before (from dying, or sun damage, or saltwater damage), then this might be for you.
If you take good care of your hair, and you have a deep brunette color like me, this isn’t going to create miracles. I like the volume, so I’ll use it when I go on dates with my boyfriend or special occasions. But certainly not a daily use item.
UPDATE:
I also bought the John Frieda Shine Shock Gloss from Amazon. You might want to check out that review to see what Gloss vs. Glaze is. I got two very different results.

Sean Ford –
I’ve used a lot of brown hair cover for grey now, and out of all the enhanced products I use to cover up in between full cover dye jobs, this is the dicey one. The gloss completely stripped out my keratin hair straightening treatment (so don’t use if you’ve had hair straightening done) and turned my hair a strange hue of pink after the second wash without it. As a result, if you have quite a lot of grey on the top of your head, I don’t recommend this for you. It might be ok if you have red henna dyed hair to calm it down.

The media could not be loaded.
I still have to give this product a few uses, but so far I like it, not heavy on my hair – I have fine hair. Price is decent for a 2-pack and what I will consider generous bottle size. Odorless which is what I prefer. The only other thing I wish is that the bottle was a pump-type so I don’t over pour – but perhaps this is part of the tactic where I use more and I buy more.
