If you have read my previous ops on the Sheer Blonde range you will know how highly I rate these products. The Sheer Blonde Volume Enhancing Shampoo is another superb product to add to the list.
I discovered this product by accident, well my mum did. I was rushing around trying to pack for our family holiday and discovered to my horror that I had the tiniest drop of my Sheer Blonde shampoo left. My mum had popped round as she was taking my daughter into town so I asked her if she could buy me some shampoo on her travels. I explained what I wanted and she insisted that I write it down so that she would buy the correct product, I did as she asked and she returned with Volume Enhancing Shampoo !!. I had never heard of this particular product before but as it was John Frieda and of course Sheer Blonde it was bound to be excellent
The packaging is identical to the other shampoos in the range and costs the same too, £4.25 for 250ml. A giant clear toothpaste tube style with the unmistakeable John Frieda and Sheer Blonde logos adorning the front. The Shampoo works in the same way as the regular highlight activating shampoo but it has the extra added boost of thickening the hair and adding body and shine. The shampoo is specially formulated for fine delicate hair that is difficult to style. The shampoo contains a revolutionary ingredient, white-grape complex which is made up of white grape extract and body-building amino acids. The claims to remove the darkening and dulling deposits left by hairspray that weigh down the hair are the same as the regular shampoo (which are true !!) as are the ingredients of lemon peel, camomile and sunflower seed extract. The shampoo is suitable for all manner of blondes too be you natural or bottle blonde !
I was impressed by the claims of the bottle and was eager to try out this unique product for my self. Although my hair was not lifeless and difficult to style it has become fine due to colouring and the almost daily torture of straightening so a little extra oomph wouldn't go amiss.
The shampoo is clear and yellowish and has a thicker consistency than the regular shampoo but has the same familiar lemony 'clean hair smell'. The shampoo lathers up well with rich soapy bubbles and is easily rinsed away leaving the hair soft and smooth and easy to comb through even before conditioner is used. As the cleansing agents are only very mild the shampoo is gentle enough for daily use. Even though I had tried and trusted the Sheer Blonde range I was dubious as to whether the product could live up to the claims, however after only one week of use I had noticed a significant change to my hair. It had to be significant as hubby mumbled something on the lines of ' your hair looks different, nicer'. RESULT !! As I straighten my hair the results were actually far more noticeable than I had expected and my hair had a fuller appearance and had more body. I was delighted with the results. The highlights in my hair were indeed enhanced and activated they were shimmering and glistening through my newly thickened hair. I was amazed.
I have decided to stick with my newly discovered product as I have been truly amazed with the results. If you don't believe me then check them out for yourself. There is a phone number on the bottle for more information, 0800 975 9715, or alternatively you could visit www.johnfrieda.com Brunettes do not despair as I have also discovered that John Frieda has also launched a range of Brilliant Brunette shampoos and hair care products and if the Sheer Blonde products are anything to go by there will soon be an army of 'brilliant brunettes' hot on our heels.

Life Is Beachy
Review of John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo by
lwperkins
Advantages: Smells great, really works, goes with my bathroom
Disadvantages: Price
...range that I bought – John Frieda’s ‘Beach Blonde’ range is actually very good.
There are several products in the range but the 3 I tried were the shampoo, conditioner and intensive conditioning treatment, so they are the three I will be referring to here.
I’ve used celebrity hairdresser John Frieda’s ‘Sheer Blonde’ range of shampoos on and off for several years now. It seems OK but I’ve never been that impressed with it, I just use it because ... ...I would never have bought the ‘Beach Blonde’ range were it not for the colour.
It’s green. The paint chart I used to pick the colour for my bathroom called it ‘Watermelon’ but it is a pale green.
THE SHAMPOO
The shampoo is called ‘Cool Dip’ (another thing I liked about this range is the names of the products – long gone are the days when a bottle of shampoo was just called shampoo)
It is described as a ‘refreshing shampoo’ although lets be honest ...

Sheer Blonde!
Review of John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo by
Jen599
Advantages: Works well, leaves hair soft and shiney
Disadvantages: Doesn't smell as nice as some, bit pricey
I used to have sort of darkish blonde to light brown hair which lightened in the summer, but a while ago i decided to just go for it and colour it. My hair is now quite light blonde (though not bleached!) and, despite what the packet promised, the colour did leave it a bit damaged. Ever since then i have been trying to find a shampoo and conditioner that makes my hair soft and shiney, protects the colour and generally make my hair look half decent. ... ...this shampoo i tried LOADS of them. Toni and Guy, Charles Worthington Dream Hair aswell as whatever my mum bought home from tesco and nothing seemed to work. They worked on one thing eg made it soft but left it looking dull or vice versa. Then, i saw this range and decided to give it a go!
When i first bought this shampoo it was on 3 for 2 in boots and cost around £4.49 a bottle. Or tube as i suppose it is! It is quite expensive compared to other ...

Hi, my names Worzell Gummage
Review of John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo by
michaird
Advantages: Brings out the blonde
Disadvantages: leaves me with straw hair
...on special offer was the John Frieda Sheer Blonde range. I had always been put off this product by the awful mock pop video used to advertise it but a three for two offer is not to be sneezed at and I bought myself some shampoo, conditioner and hair spay. I have already covered the Conditioner, so if anyone is having Déjà vu, you now know why. Today I’m going to cover the shampoo
There are two varieties, one for Platinum blonde and one for Honey ... ...the caramel blond category.
The sheer blond range is supposedly formulated to rid blond hair of the chemical and mineral build up of water, product and the environment which gives it that dull, brassy and sometimes ever-so slightly green look. It promises to transform straw like hair to shimmering silk.
I am more than a little sceptical, my hair is in quite good condition and has never been colour treated (expect for a few colour mousses). I was ...

Review of John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo by
Sarah01
Advantages: It magically makes ginger highlights blonde!
Disadvantages: It's a bit pricey
...to splash out £4.25 on John Frieda Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Shampoo formulated for use on honey to caramel blondes. The product comes in a giant tube containing 250ml of shampoo which is said to Instantly brighten and refresh blonde hair by ridding it of dulling mineral deposits. The product is designed for natural, colour treated or highlighted blondes. The packaging is well designed and looks very stylish. As well as being formulated for ... ...I still use my John Frieda shampoo (but won't have to for much longer because I’m letting my highlights grow out) and have found that the bottle lasts ages because only a tiny amount is needed. I think that this product is well worth its expense and I'd recommend it to anyone who's highlighted hair has turned a funny shade of ginger.

Sheer Blonde
Review of John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo by
daks
Advantages: Works fantastically well, leaves hair feeling soft and clean
Disadvantages: can make hair dry and it's a little expensive
Bloke? Blonde hair? Highlights? If this sounds like you then read on (and if it doesn't, read on anyway cos it'll only take a minute). I've had highlighted hair for many years now (yes, I am male before you start) and recently I had a longer cut with what my hairdresser called 'slices of blonde'. Anyways, these slices were pretty big, definately lighter than usual and basically looked great, so I thought I'd have a new look on the market for something ... ...days later, on my regular shopping trip to my local Asda, I came across the Sheer Blonde range and decided that the £4.30 was probably worth a shot having read previous favourable opinions on here regarding the shampoo. After using it for about 3-4 days, I instantly noticed the change in my hair and I must say after having used this stuff for several weeks now, this stuff is really fantastic in terms of bringing out the blonde in your hair. Whether ...
