John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Luminous Color Glaze Chestnut To Espresso

Pros: It works!!!
Cons: packaging

If you have read my other reviews on hair products you will know I have long hair, prone to being frizzy in humid weather. I wear it straight during the cooler months and all natural during the months I'm in and out of the water all the time. It is ...

Pros: Reduced silver from gray, Ease of use, Body and manageability, Enriches natural color of hair
Cons: None

I had been considering going to a salon for a color consultation until my daughter suggested the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Color Glaze. I was using Natural Instincts to cover gray and had gotten tired of having to deal with it. So, when six weeks ...

Pros: shiny hair, easy to use, subtle color enhancement
Cons: package should incorporate a flip-top

I have black, straight Asian hair that is coarse and thick. With age, the ends of my long hair became dull and dry, so I decided to try this glaze. I love it! It’s easy to use - just apply to freshly washed, towel dried hair - and really works. After just one use, my hair feels like it has a little silicone shine enhancer on it, and my ends look as glossy and shiny as my roots. Like another reviewer said, after leaving it in for the recommended 3 minutes, there isn't a lot of remaining color that washes out to stain towels or hands. However, the bottle does say to immediately wash surfaces that the undiluted glaze comes in contact with. I’m a full-time working mom with 3 kids so I don't have time or money to go to a salon every time I need a little boost, so this product is perfect for what I want – a little enhancement, not a drastic change.

Pros: Great for bringing your color back to life in between colorings.
Cons: When used as directed, can make scalp oily.

I color my brown hair every couple months to get rid of the grays, but after about a month, the color starts to fade. I tried John Frieda's Brilliant Brunette Color Glaze and it certainly brought my color back to life. The package recommends that you use it for several days (I think 5) in a row to get the maximum benefits. Now...my scalp is extremely oily and and my hair is fairly dry and by the 2nd day in a row, the roots my my hair were so oily they appeared wet after drying and styling as usual. I still use it but only once a week and it works great especially when it is used with the shampoo and conditioner.
