You review: colour control haircare

26 May 2008 11:11 AM | Posted by bh'sTracey

So, you've just dropped a whole week's budget on a glossy new hair colour. Now guarantee it stays that way. Find out which colour-locking products Bh members count on to keep their locks looking lustrous for longer…

John Frieda Brilliant Shine Release Moisturizing Shampoo – Chestnut to Espresso, $15.99
"This is probably one of the best shampoos I have ever used. It left my thick, wavy hair silky and shiny. I also can't believe how much it has improved the colour of my hair. My naturally dark brunette hair became richer and even darker. I got some great compliments from people I hadn't seen in a while – they thought I'd had my hair professionally coloured and glossed. Love it." Rating: 5/5 – aussie_cat87

This must be a product that has very varied results depending on hair type or something becuase I really didnt see much of a difference and I used the shampoo, conditioner, gloss and balm of the same brand all at the same time. I was dissapointed, but now I can try to find the right product for my hair...the hunt continues.

I was going to buy this, as my hair colour just washes out within days, it really sucks :(
I didn't buy it because I didn't really trust it, but I'd give it a go when Priceline has a sale =D

It's funny you mention Priceline, because I think they have just this brand on sale at the moment, ad0rkable! Well, starting this Thursday, at least. XD Ah, wait, it's only the Frizz-Ease series, though. Darn.

Princess75: Heh when I see it I think instead of whether she has treatments to maintain it, haha! I could probably get my hair looking like that if I styled it, it IS long enough by now, but that smouldering look, now....would never pull it off. :)

I get a mix of both blonde and brown streaks so its really hard to find a product that suits both colours (i.e. maintains the brown and stops the blonde going brassy). Though i do find that waiting as long a possible before washing after a colour helps in the long run.

I might give this a go to see whether it actually works as I have long thick hair and the current shampoo I am using doesn't really do anything for me. Will go and checkout Priceline to see if they have the special starting tomorrow

Thanks for the tip! I'm actually getting my hair cut and coloured tomorrow so I might splurge on some decent shampoo!

that stuff looks good but it would probebly be a bit pricy

I just had my hair colour done today. I will be sure to give this shampoo and conditioner a go.

This shampoo is nice and gentle, the colour boosting quality is very subtle. It doesn't leave much of an effect once the colours gone but it slows fade process :)

A bit to pricey for me.Lovely hair though.If it was on special maybe I would consider buying it then.

The model has nice hair, but i used the shampoo and it doesn't seem to be working on my hair. I think i'll stick to my own AMWAY shampoo, it keeps my hair softer.

i'm not convinced for the price u pay for this product i get the same results from sunsilk and its cheaper

i've used sunsilk and i wasnt happy with the result, but i wouldn't mind trying a new product

i've used this, and its not bad.

Goldwell is excellent for keeping hair colour beautiful and glossy, and it keeps hair nice and smooth

I haven't used these shampoos. I'm concerned they aren't strong enough. I use the L'Oreal colour balls. They have serious colour in them. Though a bottle of colour ball is $40 but lasts about 30 uses. You also don't need it every day. Just don't dye the shower walls with it!

I agree, the model has such lovely hair. I might snap up the picture and get my hairdresser to get me that fringe (:

Can I just say I love the models hairstyle. I have a heavy fringe so I think I might try that sometime...

Girls, at Woolworth In Style July edition has FREE mini set of both shampoo and conditioner for both blondes and brunettes (total 4 sampler, 44ml each). Then you can try it before you buy it. I'm wondering whether I can use the ones for blondes even though I'm a brunette. Otherwise hubby will be the guinea pig for the blondes ones. lol
