Product Rating: 2 significant Hair loss
Reviewer: Sky Weer   Sat Nov 07 2009

I'm sixteen and used to have pretty, thick blonde hair. I started using Sheer blonde about 2 months ago and for the past 3 weeks my hair has been falling out in significant amounts. I'm very bummed about this because now my hair is looking straggly. I was worried that the source of my problem was a medical condition but based on all your reviews, this makes me feel better. I guess I'll just switch shampoo and conditioner!! bummer

Reviewer: HOLLY   Wed Oct 21 2009

I have been using John Freida pruducts for years and liked them alot. I recently tried the newest Sheer Blonde products after half of the bottle I noticed my hair falling out !!! ALOT!!! My husband is a physician he suggested I have my thyroid checked. Did and it was fine. After reading these reviews I guess I know the culprit. Anybody have any ideas on how to regrow your hair? I actually bought John Frieda Root Awakening thinking that would help... I guess not.Feeling awful!!!!!

I've used John Frieda Sheer Blonde for over a year now on and off. I never had any side effects (I didn't even know shampoo could have side effects) until they recently changed their formula. I have been freaking out about hair loss that I thought was caused by stress, when finally it got so bad that I decided that it must be something else. I looked up my shampoo and came across this page. I was terrified that the thing I thought was amazing for making my long, natural blond hair shinier was in fact making me lose it. If this has happened to so many people, why isn't there a warning on the bottle?

Product Rating: 4 So far so good...
Reviewer: David from Fresno, CA  Sun Aug 16 2009

I just purchased the Sheer Blonde shampoo and conditioner, then read these reviews. No reported air loss yet... After only 2 uses, my hair is noticably softer, more shiny, lighter, and a few blonde highlights are beginning to poke through. My hair is short and was platinum when i was young but now is very dirty blonde almost brown, but during the summer i get some highlights from the sun. I will post another review after a few weeks of use to follow up...

I have really thick hair and I really hope this product doesnt change that...

Reviewer: Very unhappy customer from Indiana  Sat Sep 06 2008

I tried the shampoo, conditioner and gloss but had to quit after about 2 weeks due to the extensive hair loss it caused. I do not recommend these products to anyone.

Reviewer: mollie from clatskanie, oregon  Fri Aug 01 2008

My husband and I were both using this product. He started to freak out about losing his hair, he was getting handfuls of it while shampooing. He thought he was going bald as he approached his thirties. It took me a couple of weeks to realize that it was the shampoo causing it. I didn't notice the hair loss as much as he did. To me it seemed like a clarifying shampoo. I had to deeply condition after using this or I couldn't get a comb through my hair. I did like the highlighting effect but it seems to be a very harsh shampoo. I woudn't recommend this particular product but I did like the other john freida products I have tried.

Product Rating: 1 Disappointed..
Reviewer: Vicki   Tue May 27 2008

I purchased the highlight shampoo and conditioner the day after having my hair highlighted. Both the shampoo and conditioner lathered way more than any other I have used. I thoroughly rinsed both out, and after drying, my hair felt heavy and oily. They were both quite pricey for non-salon shampoos at $10.00 each and I expected much more than they provided. I took them back immediately for a refund, and would not use this product again, nor recommend it.

Product Rating: 1 HAIR LOSS: BAD!
Reviewer: Jen Matthews   Sun Oct 28 2007

Others have confirmed they too lost a lot of hair and had it break off after using John Frieda Sheer Blonde products. I went from having long hair to having short clumpy hair, thanks to the horrific damage this stuff did to my hair. Do not use John Frieda Sheer Blonde products!

Product Rating: 5 Just What I Was Looking For
Reviewer: Ben from Virginia  Thu Oct 18 2007

I could never find a shampoo that cleaned my hair without over drying it. I borrowed someone's Sheer Blond and used it on my dark brown hair. It was perfect! So I bought my own. I plan on picking up swimming again so I started looking for a shampoo that removes chlorine and the Sheer Blond does that as well!

Product Rating: 1 Tried it worked... HOWEVER...BEWARE

Product Rating: 5 Blonde Highlights Revived
Reviewer: Jennifer from Knoxville, IA  Mon Apr 02 2007

I have been getting blonde highlights over the past year, but they always get dull at about 3 weeks after I get them done. I have tried other brands of blonde shampoos, but I came across the John Frieda line at a sale and I tried it and was so pleasantly surprised. My highlights are back and bright again! It also make my hair feel great!

Product Rating: 2 Hair loss, too
Reviewer: ty from mn  Fri Oct 27 2006

LOVE the way it made my hair feel. But, then I started using the glaze on top of the shampoo and conditioner and I started having more than average hair loss. It's up to you.

Product Rating: 4 Makes brownish hair noticeably blonder
Reviewer: Jen from Regina, SK, Canada  Tue Oct 10 2006

I have medium brown hair naturally, with blonde highlights. I liked Frieda's line of shampoo/conditioner for brunettes (adds shine, softness). I started using this shampoo once fall arrived, because I wanted to preserve my highlights.

I loved the shampoo from the first time I tried it! It makes my hair feel like silk. The conditioner is all right too. Still, I only really wash my hair 3 or 4 times a week... I don't want to overdry it or anything.

Two people (including my own mom) have now commented that my hair appears to be getting blonder. Which is cool... as long as it doesn't end up going platinum on me!

So far, AWESOME.

Product Rating: 3 Not real impressed
Reviewer: Mandy   Sun Sep 03 2006

I bought this to help fight off the yellow in my bleached hair. Worked as well as I expected for that... But the conditioner blows. My usual stick straight hair comes out a frizzy poof ball.

Product Rating: 5 A must Buy!
Reviewer: Sarah from TX  Wed Jul 20 2005

I have had this product for a year and it never wears out. My hair was rough, dried out, and dull. Then I heard that Sheer Blonde has a line of great products so i tried it. THey DO! This Highlight Activating Shampoo saved my hair.
TIP: Use the the Dream Creme after you use his product.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent shampoo
Reviewer: Lyndsay Lamica from Peru ny  Sat Apr 23 2005

"i have tried that shampoo for the first time and right away it gave me beautiful blonde highlights". I think this product is great for people who have blonde hair and want highlights in it.

Product Rating: 5 I LOVE it
Reviewer: Jenna   Sun May 02 2004

Leaves hair feeling super soft and clean, brings out natural highlights you never noticed before.

Product Rating: 5 dUdE!
Reviewer: unidentified blonde person   Tue Jan 25 2005

Haha! this is so awesome. I tried first with the honey to caramel because I thought that my hair was getting dull because of the dulling minerals in things like tap water. So I tried this, and after blow drying it, it was SUPER BLONDE. Then after using both that following with the conditioner that matches. I tried the Platinum to Champagne and its working really great too! BUY THIS.. John Frieda rocks! and thanks sally for helping make this product!

Product Rating: 2 i liked it until...
Reviewer: Lindsay   Fri Dec 17 2004

I liked this shampoo/conditioner and raved about it for the first couple of months that I used it... I then noticed that it was causing some hair loss, more than just the normal day to day hair loss that is to be expected (I'm only 20 years old, and nothing hereditary of the sort exists). In researching, I came across the fact, from numerous sources, that lauryl sulfates, like those in the Sheer Blonde line of products, actually can result in added hair loss. Try it if you like, it might not affect everybody but I became concerned about it so I just wanted to put it out there.
