John Frieda Defy Grey Brunette Blending Shampoo 250 Ml, Disguise And Hide Grey Hair, Colour-Depositing Shampoo Brown Hair, Grey Hair Coverage

Easy to use non drip.Colour doesn’t stain. Definately colours the grey hair very well after a few washes .

I colour my thick long brunette hair every 3-4 weeks as I cannot stand seeing any greys, I was using a brunette shampoo on weeks 3 and 4 to help cover the greys inbetween colouring. The make of shampoo I was using and buying on amazon is now unavailable so I started looking for another brand. I have this on a regular Subscription now with amazon along with quite a few other bits so its great that you can save money by subscribing to it and I never run out, you can change how frequent it comes from anything between weekly and 6 monthly. HOW I USE IT: Best way to use this so it really does cover your greys is to apply it to dry hair! my greys are mainly round the front edge of my head, so I pop this onto dry hair just at the roots and then pin my hair up and wait 5-10 minutes, then I hop in the shower and add a bit of water to get it all into a nice lather and spread throughout all my hair, I then leave that n whilst I have my legs and wash then finish off by rinse it all out my hair and then finishing off with a normal conditioner , this will leave you with your greys covered much better than if you use it on wet hair like normal shampoo. I used to have to wear gloves with the other shampoo as it stains your hands, this doesn't stain my skin but it does stain my nails so I do still wear gloves when I initially squeeze it into my hand to apply, once I have added water and lathering in the shower I don't have gloves on as it is more diluted Highly recommend and hope this tip is useful (I saw this useful tip myself on a video online)

When tweezering my first greys turned from a fortnightly to an almost daily activity I knew my time was up on grey denial and went looking for a fix. Having never dyed my hair and not being a fan generally of the hairdresser experience, was nervous about home dyeing. This looked like a low-tech non scary place to start. First the good: quick, clean, easy -apply just like shampoo then wait a few mins bopping around to a song and rinse. Doesn't stain fingers or bath. Smells quite nice. The pretty good: I've never dyed my dark brown locks. Gave my hair a nice, subtly lighter tint. And felt soft and healthy. Greys became a tad browner. The less good: this did fade my greys a bit so in that sense not bad but they were still visible and the effect only lasts a couple of days before you're back to square one. So if you don't want to see your greys at all this isn't going to do it. I tried leaving on for longer (8-10mins) but developed a burning sensation, a good reminder that it tints in 3m because the chemicals used are harsh (and potentially cancerous ladies. And that's being applied to the skin covering your brain ladies, eek). Overall: a low fuss way to achieve some uplift so better than expected in that regard. But won't get rid of greys so not really a solution. I researched organic dyes extensively and am now using a brown all natural henna dye from the 'It's Pure' range which actually dyes grey hair with no nasty chemicals, leaves your hair thicker and more lush and lasts around 5 weeks. Result :)

This shampoo works for me. I'm in my 30s and have the first signs of greying I suppose. Still quite a lot though on my parting and around my hairline. This shampoo does change greys to a warm, reddy, golden brown. But honestly no hint of grey is left. Tip 1) I put it on my hairline and parting, on dry hair, for about 10 minutes before a bath or shower. Then I wet and lather, adding some more shampoo. I let that sit for a few minutes while I do everything else. It only took about 4 washes to totally cover the greys. Before this I was dying it every 2 weeks because the greys were really noticeable in my dark hair. I think you have to make your peace with this warming up your hair as it is reddy in colour. But I am a total convert. I haven't dyed my hair for about 2 months and the tones and highlights keep looking better and more natural as it works with the greys that I'm no longer dying. I've got it on subscription now and will use it until it stops working/if it stops working (thinking maybe when I get a lot more greys, perhaps I'll have to dye again). Tip 2) use in conjunction with Batiste brunette dry shampoo. This takes the edge off the red, blends it in more with the brunette hair and also keeps your hair from needing to be washed for awhile. It's honestly great. Well worth a go if, like me, you're sick and tired of dying it constantly. Time and money saver. My hair is also in lovely condition. Persevere and try putting it on dry hair first. 👍

this product does nothing for my hair. it looks the same.

I have been going grey naturally for the past 2 years but recently felt I needed a pick me up. I decided this was worth a go as it’s semi permanent. My most concern for hair dye is the root regrowth that appears so fast in my hair normally but you don’t get it with this product as I have now been using it for a month or so and I use it once a week now. I used it every 2 days for the first week. I followed a review that recommended you leave it on for around 10 mins on dry hair the first time to help it settle in but now I just use it as regular shampoo but leave it in for a few mins. I use it with the conditioner product you can buy too and there’s a foam in the range that tops it up in between uses. Overall very pleased. Smells great too. This is helping me to not go too grey as my very white hairs now are more blonde.
