Pros: Not drying; adds some moisture; smells great; nice packaging
Cons: Not as moisturizing as it claims to be; I don't see a real difference
Summary: I wanted to try several products in the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette haircare line - I was intrigued by this line and can really use a boost to my brown hair. My hair tends to get somewhat dry when I don't get it trimmed regularly (I've been ... read more

Pros: lathers well, rinses well, smells good, not as expensive as salon brands
Cons: no noted color enhancing capabilities
Summary: Lucky me - I've had brown hair all of my life. Lucky me again because of my pale complexion, I'll probably keep brown hair for the rest of my life until I choose to let it go gray. Blonde would look garish and unnatural. Red is overpowering. Brown it ... read more

Pros: Makes hair soft and smooth, brings out highlights
Cons: More expensive than what I usually buy
Summary: My hair is naturally dark brown. In fact it is so dark that it has been mistaken for black. My hair is also extremely straight. For those of you who think straight hair is automatically shiny and frizz free, you can take it from me that is not the case. ... read more

Pros: cleans gently; no tangles; subtle improvement in color/shine; great chocolate-coconut scent; attractive squeeze tube
Cons: hair feels a little weighted down; a little pricey at regular price
Summary: Ever since a home-highlighting disaster a few summers ago left me with pinky-orange highlights, I’ve been wary of dying my hair. But in anticipation of fall, I wanted to darken my medium brown hair (with some brassy-blond highlights from the sun) a ... read more

Pros: Great Shine, brings out your highlights, great scent, makes hair silky soft
Cons: Lightens your hair up which can be good or bad, price
Summary: I have really dark hair, it's often debated whether I have black or brunette hair. When I found this shampoo it was the first of it's kind (as far as I know anyway). I liked the idea of making my hair shinier and enhancing it's color. I choose the ... read more

Pros: Does, in fact, wash your hair
Cons: Dullness and dryness where shine and radiance were promised
Summary: I was really surprised to read several extatic reviews on this product, because my experience was very negative. I have thick dark hair, with auburn-red undertones, which basically requires a good cut and little else, but from time to time, I get this ... read more

Pros: Smell, Lather, Consistency,
Cons: Doesn't give me my shine or luminescent highlights
Summary: I have been using John Frieda's Brilliant Brunette Shine Release Shampoo off and on for about two years. I don't ever stick to the same shampoo, I like to change it up a lot. Anyways, I have realized that the main promise that is made (reveals ... read more

Pros: Clean, soft, manageable hair. Gives a beautiful sheen.
Cons: Takes about a week to start seeing a great lustre.
Summary: I really enjoy this product, and before I tell you why let me start with how I ended up with it. A while back I was with a friend who apparently had too much conditioner she never used and gave me Brilliant Brunette Conditioner for Amber-Maple color. ... read more

Pros: it was free.
Cons: scent did not turn me on.
Summary: I just love free samples. It gives me a chance to try new things, and if I am into them, I can add a new product to my collection. Plus, I get to tell all you folks out there in the Epinions world if this is a freebie worth talking about. My most ... read more

Pros: Lovely cocoa coconuty scent, brings out brown tones in your hair
Cons: Same as the pros, if you don't want those things!
Summary: I reviewed the conditioner that goes with this, but somehow I seem to have forgotten to review the shampoo! :-)) I bought this shampoo along with the JF Brilliant Brunette Light Reflecting Conditioner for Chestnut to Espresso. I must say, I was so ... read more

Pros: Does almost everything its advertised for; moisturizes, improves hair structure and has a pleasant scent.
Cons: The bottle sometimes collects water at its base and will mildew if it sits.
Summary: I have always been a little iffy when trying out hair products that claim to be specifically designed for one hair color or another. Honestly, I could not figure out how one product could improve color without leaving some sort of a dye or deposit in my ... read more

Pros: Smells wonderful, lathers well, leaves hair clean and shiny.
Cons: No noticeable "color enhancing" effect, nearly twice as expensive as lower-end similar products.
Summary: I'm a natural brunette and when I first saw John Frieda's products for blonde hair, I was envious that there were no similar products for brown hair. Well, Frieda has expanded his line of color-specific shampoos and now there's John Frieda Brilliant ... read more

Pros: Smells good, makes hair soft, shiny, and manageable
Cons: Pricey, goes quickly
Summary: Let me start off by saying that I love beauty products, and I'm more than willing to give them a try. If I see a beauty product in a store, on a commercial, or am given a recommendation by a friend, I am most likely to purchase it if it appeals to me. I ... read more

Pros: Did everything the bottle projected.
Cons: Leaves hair unnecessarily tangled before drying.
Summary: My natural hair color has always been an extremely dark brown/black. I have never colored it, as I quite like the versatility of it being dark in the winter and in the summer lightening naturally from being in the sun. It has a lot of auburn highlights ... read more

Pros: Can't think of any. I didn't detect any change in my hair color.
Cons: See my review.
Summary: I purchased this product, apparently falling for the claims on the package about making my hair more brilliantly brunette. Stupid!?! ? My husband and I both tried it out (he'll use whatever is in the shower) and had the same disappointing results. Our ... read more

Pros: the smell, the volume, the shine, no frizz, no tangles
Cons: I wish it came in a larger size
Summary: At one point in my life I only used Herbal Essences shampoos. Then they got boring, very boring. So I moved onto others. I’ve tried many, many different volumeizing shampoos in the last few years. And eventually I was led to the fabulous, John ... read more

Pros: Great smell.
Cons: Not enough volume.
Summary: I'm always looking for new shampoos to try. Being a brunette with fine hair I thought I'd give this a try. I had used John Frieda's Frizz-Ease products before so what did I have to lose. I'd bought the 8.45 FL OZ. (250mL) tube at Giant for $5.49. It ... read more

Pros: True to its claims, and then some!
Cons: Have yet to find one.
Summary: Why did I buy it: My whole life I've had to deal with extremely fine hair and very little of it! These two features do not add up to bouncy, full hair. I kept my locks shoulder length until I turned 17 and decided that I was tired of looking like the ... read more
