Brilliant Brunette Luminous Glaze, Hair Gloss Enhances Rich Color and Boosts Shine for Silky Brunette Hair, Enhances While Mending Damaged Hair Surfaces, 6.5 Oz

I am very pleased with the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Luminous Glaze, Colour Enhancing Glaze ! I have tried other hair color products for men; but they were not satisfactory for several reasons. Then I read an internet article about the best hair tinting products for men, and this product was highly recommended for men's hair as well as for women's hair. Hair is the same, whether it grows on a man's head or on a woman's head. I took a chance and bought this product, and I am very happy that I did. I still had my basic brunette color, but there is enough gray in it to give it an all-over gray sheen. I didn't like that, and I wanted something to give back my brunette sheen, without looking artificially dyed. The John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Luminous Glaze, Colour Enhancing Glaze gave me the exact result that I wanted. It is not a harsh-chemical dye but leaves a nice brunette restoring glaze to the hair. The effect was noticeable after just one use, and with each subsequent application the color was enhanced. It is also very easy to use: just wash and condition hair in the normal manner. Then squeeze excess water from the hair. Apply enough glaze to cover the hair from root to tip, and allow it to remain on the hair for about three minutes. During that time, wash your hands with soap and water. After three minutes, rinse it out of your hair and dry and style in the normal manner. It will fade over time, but (according to the package instructions) it can be used after washing hair every day or at least three times per week. I have no interest in promoting this product other than to share my excitement about finding a product that gives a man control over graying hair that is inexpensive, easy to use, and actually provides the desired results. I highly recommend it.

Ok I was torn whether to review this or not because I don't want others buying it all out - but worse would be if it was discontinued. I'm early 40s with a few gray hairs throughout my virgin (never colored before) hair and a whole chunk of them clustered around my front hairline. I do not want to stay dying my hair - I'm actually very open to going silver. However, I need it to be more than 2 inches of my long hair. Enter this Brilliant Brunette glaze, which is amazing. It's not a full dye - it doesn't go into the hair cuticle, but rather coats on top. That means results are short-lived so you have to reapply. My grays are now more caramel color, not a full match and not a gold highlight, but they blur into my darker hair much better than the stark white-silver. I do it as a treatment at my sink once a week where I use gloves and a mirror and to get every millimeter of hair (more on top but take it to the end) tinted for about 25 min. I just apply then claw clip - and rinse out in the shower. Then 1-2x a week I've applied blindly in my shower - which is messy and terrifying as twice I've tinted my face temporarily... Oops. But the coverage is phenomenal - I feel vibrant again, and my hair is so shiny and looks healthier than ever (even healthier looking than my years of curly girl method skipping sulfates and all sorts of chemicals). The product does have a scent. It's not my favorite but it's not horrible - but definitely an artificial, chemical scent. I blow dry my hair after a wash, and am washing every other day, but no other heat (curling iron/flat iron). I do have wavy hair and this softens the waves a lot - and my hair just feels so soft and smooth. If you can't tell my now, I'm obsessed. My husband would confirm by my stockpile of 3 more boxes tucked away. Oh and because I asked this, I'll volunteer: I use this with John Frieda's Blue Crush shampoo and conditioner, although I also just purchased the Brilliantly Brunette shampoo and conditioner too so we'll see how enters the mix soon! I wash and conditioner first, then do my glaze step. Lastly, be careful where this liquid touches - it will color anything it touches and FAST. Have a damp rag in the shower or by your sink to catch splatters, and protect your hands while using. I use my hands to apply - for the weekly treatment I wear nitrile gloves. For the in-shower I apply it super fast and my hands still look instantly dyed but I immediately use an exfoliating scrub that's in my shower which gets it off. It does rinse out of my hair beautifully and easily, with no transfer to the white tshirt I use to wrap/dry my hair (turban style). Also no transfer on my towel or pillow. I am already a bit nervous for how this will do in a pool or hot tub, but it's the dead of winter in New England so I have months before I worry about it much. If you do go in those environments please add to YOUR review so we keep knowledge sharing :) Again, I'm obsessed. This works well and is budget-friendly for me. It's also temporary results so I can discontinue use and return to my natural within days. I wish I had taken good before photos but I absolutely did not... and now I don't want to stop use long enough to capture a "before." But hopefully my during and after pictures are helpful (are they?)! -- ETA: ok guys, I really wanted to offer a "before" picture. So, this is my hair 6 days since my last Glaze use- just washing with my Blue Crush shampoo and conditioner. Hope this helps those on the fence, because I think I look wayyy better when I use the brunette Glaze!

A few days after coloring my hair, this product extends the hair shine and enriches the color, which often becomes dull after a few shampoos. While showering and after shampoo/conditioning, I squeeze out the water from my hair; then, I use a blob of the product on the top of my head and another blob on the length of the hair. I try to mix the product in well, especially on the length, to give it good coverage. I wait about 10 minutes while finishing my shower, then rinse off the product. My hair stays shiney for a few days until the next shampoo. The product doesn't last like a permanent glaze/cellophane treatment, but it doesn't damage the hair either.

I have dark brown hair and have started to use a med brown permanent hair color to cover the greys. I was a bit afraid to use a root touch up product as I was afraid it wouldn't match perfectly and I would ultimately end up with different shades of brown where the root grew out. I did, however have this product on hand that I had forgotten about. It did the trick! I used it all over my hair and it covered the grey roots and made all my greys that were covered with permanent hair color a pretty, shimmery auburn/copper. I did it again a couple of weeks later, just on the roots and it covered them! Not sure if I will use it all the time for my roots, it may not be cost efficient, but it worked in a pinch. (I only wash my hair once a week and use this when the roots start to show.). I don't really know how temporary or permanent it actually is overall, but I think this could be a good option if you colored your hair and don't like it and want to grow it all out and use this in the interim. The negative is of course the staining. If you have a stainless steel sink, use that. This product does stain and you have to apply it VERY carefully and immediately wash off wherever it drops in the shower--it is crucial to work fast. Depending on the materials in your shower, some may stain, so work fast. It did seem to permanently leave a bit of a stain on one section of my wall that I missed

This is more temporary color than a shine glaze. It is hard to rinse out and smells a bit too strongly. It will stain sheets and towels temporarily too.

I've used this on/off couple years. Works brilliantly. Fair price cheaper than going hairdresser.

Do not expect major gloss. Hair feels a little hard after use.

Because of this product , I do not need to get my hair dyed !

Horrible.. It's not color, not a conditioner not a serum or a gloss and it does absolutely nothing to the hair instead makes it sticky. I will never buy this product again

Really pleased with this product. Followed the instructions except I left it on my hair a little bit longer. shampoo, rinse, towels dry, apply this product for 10mins and rinse.
